Create a DeviantArt Feeds source

This article details the DeviantArt source option in Finalsite Feeds, including how to configure a DeviantArt gallery via the Blogs/RSS integration and the required URL format.

💡Quick answers

  • Where do districts and schools select their feed? The Feeds module opens to the Feeds dashboard, which lists all available feeds. Click the name of a feed to open the feeds configuration screen.
  • Is there a native DeviantArt integration in Feeds? No; the native DeviantArt integration has been removed. DeviantArt galleries must be added via the Blogs/RSS integration using a specific URL format.
  • What URL format is required? https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=gallery:USERNAME&type=deviation, replacing USERNAME with the DeviantArt username.

Step 1: Navigate to the Feeds module

In Composer, open the module menu on the left sidebar and select Feeds.

Feeds option in the Composer module menu

Landing on the Feeds dashboard, select the individual district or school feed that needs configuration or a new source added.

To add a new source directly from the dashboard, click the + in the Source column. Alternatively, click the three-dot menu next to the Edit button on the far right.

Once inside the feeds configuration screen, click the red + Add New Source button.

Either path opens the Add a Social Media Source window. Learn about all of the source options in the article, "What is a source."

Step 2: Configure the DeviantArt RSS URL

  • Construct the DeviantArt RSS URL using the following format, replacing DEVIANTART_USERNAME with the account's username:
    https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=gallery:DEVIANTART_USERNAME&type=deviation
    For example, for the username savaena:
    https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=gallery:savaena&type=deviation
  • Enter the constructed URL into the Blog RSS source field and save.
