Command link:     /feeds
HTML document:  feeds.html

This form is the destination for the /feeds command link in the WebPAC. Your organization can use this form as a topic guide and location to feature incoming feeds and for outgoing feeds.

This page accepts the following tokens:

Token Description
<!--{toplogo}--> The system replaces this token as follows:
<!--{patron}--> The system replaces this token with the You are logged in as <patron name> message.
<!--{logout}--> The system replaces this token with the value of the BUT_LOGOUT Web option.
<!--{RSS:[settings]}--> This token is replaced by an RSS feed where [settings] is specified using the following colon-delimited, elements:

[URL]:
[MAX_ITEMS]:[DISPLAY_DESCRIPTIONS]:[DISPLAY_DATES]:
[DISPLAY_IMAGE/TITLE]
Token ElementDescription
[URL]The URL of the RSS feed.
[MAX_ITEMS]The maximum number of items to display from the RSS feed.
[DISPLAY_DESCRIPTIONS]This element controls the display of the RSS feed item description. If this element is set to '1' or 't', the WebPAC displays the RSS feed item description.
[DISPLAY_DATES]This element controls the display of the RSS feed item date. If this element is set to '1' or 't', the WebPAC displays the RSS feed item date.
[DISPLAY_IMAGE/TITLE]This element controls the display of the image and title for the RSS feed. This element accepts the following settings:
  • '0'— Show neither the title nor the image.
  • '1'— Show only the title.
  • '2'— Show only the image.
  • '3'— Show both the title and the image.


For example:
<!--{RSS:http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/Science.xml:5:t:t:3}-->
Images for Items

The <!--{RSS:[settings]}--> token does not control display of titles and images for individual items. Use the feed configuration file to control that display.

<!--{botlogo}--> The system replaces this token with the value of the BOTLOGO Web option.

You can create separate custom forms for each combination of language, scope, and patron type by using the following naming convention:

feeds_LANG_s#_p#.html

LANG The language code (e.g., spi for Spanish, frc for French).
s# The number of the scope (e.g., s1, s2, s3).
p# The patron type or PTYPE (e.g., p0 or p243).

For a current example of this form, see the appropriate example set in WebPAC Example Sets and Photoshop Files on CSDirect.
