Hi,

This page intrduces the new dashboard, which is a great improvement for the clients. But we need some info for the feed widget.

http://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/platform/platform-features/dashboards#sideNavTitle1-2-1

Which formats are supported?

We would like to use an external source, like a json feed from another domain. How should we format the data in the external feed?

Thank you in advance

Oh, sorry.

Like this:

( {
    "items": [
        {
            "Title": "Welcome to Dynamicweb 9",
            "Description": "Learn all about the platform and interface.",
            "Image": "https://dynamicweb.com/logo.png",
            "Link text": "Download the release presentation",
            "Link": "https://dynamicweb.com/Files/Files/ReleasePresentation/Dynamicweb-9-Brochure.pdf"
        }
    ]
})

Hey guys - I've added the feed format to the Dashboards documentation :)

I am hijacking this comment.

I ahve added a feed. However the link and image are not used properly.

For instance, the link, when I press the button, nothing happens,a nd source code reveals no link in dashboard.

I see the same with your own latest news dashboard.

is this a bug or?

Bump!

Your "Latest News" feed is still not showing up in the dashbord in the backend. What is wrong? I thought I could use the Json format that you use in the "Latest News" feed as an example to use in my own feeds. But can't get it working. I get "undefined" in the widget with this Json feed:

{'items':[{'Title':'Welcome to Dynamicweb 9','Description':'Learn all about the platform and interface.','Image':'','Link text':'Download the release presentation','Link':'/Files/Files/ReleasePresentations/Dynamicweb 9.7.pdf'}]}

What can be wrong?

https vs. non https and CORS, x-frame-options header misconfiguration and other browser changes lately. We are on it!
