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...

  1. Find a feed to subscribe to.

    For example, go to the IBM Syndicated Feeds web page and choose one of the IBM feeds.

  2. 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.

  3. From any community for which we are a member, click Feeds in the navigation pane.

  4. Click Add Feed to open the Add Feed form.

  5. Paste the web address of the feed into the Feed field.

  6. 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.
