You can display an RSS icon that users can click to subscribe to new Posts that are displayed on an element on a site page. This process is the same to turn on the Subscription "bell" icon.
These RSS feeds will also allow you to use third-party services, such as dlvr.it, in order to post items on social media.
To display an RSS icon or the Subscription option for a Posts element, take the following steps:
Step 1: Set a default board post page (DBPP)
- Create and set a default board post page for the Board the element is set to display on before adjusting the RSS settings.
- Set the page to be hidden from site navigation if you don't want it to appear as a clickable link.
Important Note
If a default board post page is deleted, any enabled subscriptions and/or RSS feeds will also be removed.
Step 2: Enable RSS feed in the Post element
-
Go to the Posts module.
-
Open up the folder that contains the Board, hover over the action menu, and click Settings to open up the Board settings.
-
Select the Enable RSS checkbox.
-
There is also a checkbox for Enable Subscriptions if you would like to select that option.
Step 3: Configure settings in Post Element settings
In Composer > Pages, go to an element that displays posts from this Board.
-
Open the Post Element settings, and in the Controls settings, select the Display alert icons checkbox.
- Once you save your configurations, the RSS and subscription bell icons will appear on the page, above the Posts element.
