RSS Reader
I see there is a way to generate RSS feeds which is cool but is there a way of displaying external feeds, or is that something that would have to be developed seperately?

Thanks,

Darren

RE:RSS Reader
Hi Darren,

Unfortunately it is not possible to achieve what you are trying to do. Only way to display external feeds is via custom control or 3rd party controls.

Best regards,

RE:RSS Reader
I created a custom webpart that will display an external rss feed. I will send you the files if you email me and are interested. You will have to know some c# programming to customize it for your site. I can't help you much other than that right now though.

RE:RSS Reader
Hello,

I'd like to point out that there is also new RSS reader in our Marketplace on the DevNet portal: http://devnet.kentico.com/Marketplace/Syndication/RSS-Reader.aspx

You could try that one.

Best regards
Ondrej Vasil

RE:RSS Reader
I would try the one in the marketplace first. If it does not work for you, then I can send you the files. Mine was kind of a hack and it would be better to work within the CMS architecture since mine is a custom web control.

RE:RSS Reader
Hello,

If you are passing the parameter in query string you can use query string macro (http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/appendix_a___macro_expressions.htm) directly in 'Feed URLs' field.

RE:RSS Reader
Hello,

Here's my note for other users. We've resolved this issue over an e-mail conversation (user has valid maintenance for his site). It turned out that this is rather server issue on user's end. It is OK and RSS Reader webpart works just fine.

Best regards

I've tested the RSS reader on an 5.5 R2 installation and it seems to be working just fine.

RE:RSS Reader
Hi,

could you please provide more details?

Your RSS feed web part does not display any data?
Could you please share your RSS feed source URL - maybe the source is not in the correct format?
Since version 55R2 you can use a combination of xml data source and RSS feed web part to display feeds. Have you tried this combination?

Best regards,
Ivana Tomanickova

RE:RSS Reader
Its the RSS reader web part that you get from the market place. I just tried some rrs links and even tried this site's rss feed in the top right corner and still it didnt want to work.Then the other developer here at work created his own custom rss reader which worked on his local VS 2010 installation but as soon as we moved it to the server it gave the "server actively refused the connection" or something along those lines. So we have the market place thats not working and the custom one thats not working on the server.

RE:RSS Reader
Hi,

could you please share the code you used to connect your server?
Does not your server requires authentication?
Isn't the port 80 blocked by the firewall?
Are you able to see some pages outside the server?
