Accessing 'Link For The Feed' of RSS data source asset


(Keith Brown) #1

Hi Folks,

 

Trying to get the RSS data source feed URL so that is can be used in an asset listing (with more than one data source).   The attribute seems to be 'url' but that doesn't seem available as a keyword.  Is that correct?  Or can anyone think of another way to get the URL from a feed?

No, I don't think you can get that URL. What are you needing to get this?

...you mean why?  Well if you look at charlie's news page from that other post - she has the image / blog title for each item depending on RSS feed.  I wanted to get the feed URL (then make it just the host using js) as a link around the name (which I can get - just).  I guess another way would be to attach a metadata scheme to the RSS source and fill that out with URL etc...

Yes, sorry, I meant why.

 

Sounds like your metadata idea would work pretty well.
