Add a feed to a community
Any member of a community can add a feed.
We can only add publicly available feeds to a community. An administrator may make certain feed sources trusted – for example, feeds from other Connections applications – in which case the authenticated feeds from these sources display. However, by default, authenticated feeds are not allowed.
Add a feed to the community...
- Find a feed to subscribe to.
For example, go to the IBM Syndicated Feeds web page and choose one of the IBM feeds.
- Right-click the feed icon and copy the link URL.
- In Microsoft Internet Explorer, right-click and choose Copy Shortcut.
- In Mozilla Firefox, right-click and choose Copy Link Location.
- From any community for which we are a member, click Feeds in the navigation pane.
- Click Add Feed to open the Add Feed form.
- Paste the web address of the feed into the Feed field.
- Complete the Add Feed form and click Save.
What to do next
If we get a 403 error when we try to access the feed, this might be because the administrator has configured the deployment to prevent access to URLs outside this product.
