RSS READER - building webpart
Hi,
I need to build a webpart that reads RSS feed from another site.
it needs to:
1. read rss feed and create a page (on kentico site) from it.
rss feed will send hierarchy of content fro other site.
example: Categoty(link)
article(link)
article(link)
Categoty(link)
article(link)
article(link)
2. the page (on kentico) site needs to show categories and articles as clickable links, once clicked -> will take you to actual article or category.

3. articel/category need to show on kentico site.

summay: build content (with hierarchy) from RSS feed.

how can I do this?
would like to hear fro the commnity

THANKS :)

RE:RSS READER - building webpart
Hello,

this can be done via the following RSS Reader webpart available on our MarketPlace: http://devnet.kentico.com/Marketplace/Syndication/RSS-Reader.aspx.

On the other hand, you could use built in webpart called XML data source http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/webparts/KenticoCMS_WebParts.htm#_b48a491f-533c-40cc-aab2-f6ae451151b7, which can be connected with any lisating webpart, e.g. Repeater.

Best regards
Ondrej Vasil
