Sorting mutiple RSS feeds from wordpress blogs into 1 asset listing by date

(K Lane) #1

Hi guys,

 

I have to produce a "news feed" from 2 wordpress blog RSS feeds - but I need to combine them, and sort by their date.

 

Any tips? Thanks!

Sure. Have you looked into using the RSS Datasource asset then using an Asset Listing to list the results of the two?

Sure have - thats correct. But its listing one blogs posts, then the others underneath... so if they have 5 posts each, and I limit the feed to only show me 5... then I only see the 5 posts from the 1 blog. Would like it to show the latest 5 from the combination of both feeds...

 

... if that makes sense?

And you tried sorting options? Can't remember if you can sort shadow assets....

I actually just noticed that I could set the option "Date" to "pubDate" from the RSS feed...

 

Trying to work out how to sort now based on that...

OK... Worked it out.

 

Needed to add "ds_pubdate" as a keyword sort... and off she goes :)
