Add a feed to a community
Subscribe to a feed to keep your community informed with up-to-the minute information from a Web site without leaving the community page. Any member of a community can add a feed.
You can only add publicly available feeds to a community. An administrator may make certain feed sources trusted – for example, feeds from other IBM Lotus Connections features – in which case the authenticated feeds from these sources display. However, by default, authenticated feeds are not allowed.
Follow these steps to add a feed to your community.
- Find a feed that you want 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. This image is one type of feed icon
, but there are many variations.
- 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 you 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.
Content from the feed displays on the page so that all community members can read the feed entries.
