Use the RSS feed component to define RSS-feeds that are available from the iKnowBase application to the outside world.
To configure an RSS feed you must create a search source which defines which documents to include in the feed, and a target to be used to display the entries of the RSS feed.
RSS feed supports RSS 2.0 and RSS 0.91. The standard format of the RSS feed is RSS 2.0. By adding the parameter p_version = 91 to the URL to the feed, RSS 0.91 will be generated.
If the RSS feed component is set up correctly, you will see the link to the feed in the link to RSS feed region on the Edit pane. You can test the RSS feed by copy the URL to the feed into a preferred RSS reader.
By default the feed is limited to ten articles. You can change this number by using the parameter maxrows.
