Make the RSS Feed Viewer Web Part Dynamic Using Filters and Web Part Connections

  • [アーティクル]

One of the shortcomings of the RSS Viewer web part is that it can only be bound one feed.  In this walkthrough, I’ll show you how to make the RSS Viewer web part dynamic with filter web parts and web part connections to enable binding to multiple feeds.

 

Create the RSS Feeds List

In View All Site Content, select Create

Select Custom List and enter a name such as “RSS Feeds.”  Next, add two columns to the list.  The first column will hold the feed URL and the second column is a one-line description of the feed that will be displayed in the filter list.  Name the column “Feed URL,” set the type to Single line of text (not Hyperlink), make it required, and add it to the default view.

Conclusion

The RSS Viewer web part can be made more dynamic and provide a better user experience by using filter web parts.  In this walkthrough I showed you one type of filter, but I invite you to investigate other approaches using some of the other out of the box filter web parts.
