News Feed URL on News  Content Page

Page Overview

[Hide]

1 Initial Problem

News URL Feed can currently only be accessed via the Dashboard. In the own news content page "News" the URL Feed is not available.
This results in no URL Feed being available if no Dashboard is displayed in an ILIAS installation.

The aim is that users can access the News URL Feed when they can access the News content page and are not dependent on the Dashboard function.

2 Conceptual Summary

On the news content page, it should be possible to call up and use the URL feed.

The following options should be accessible:

  • Get Feed URL
  • Private Newsfeed Settings

Variante 1

It is proposed that these two functions be offered in a separate Actions menu at the height of the page title.

2.1 Get Feed URL

If the action "Get Feed URL" is clicked, a modal is opened in which the URL can be copied out (analogous to the calendar iCal URL).
This implementation with modal could also be used for the implementation on the dashboard.

2.2 Settings

If the action "Settings" is clicked, the settings for the private newsfeed can be activated and made (as before).

For the implementation, the same strategy would be chosen as previously for the Dashboard News Block:

  1. Clicking on the action "Settings" replaces the content page of News with the Private News Settings.
  2. Clicking on "Save" replace the Settings page with the news content again.

Variante Settings als eigenes Tab im Menü "News". Dort die "Enable Personal Settings" anbieten. 

Frage: Zeigt News-Feed URL das an, was man im Filter gewählt hat oder immer alle?

Frage: Toolbar mit Button und zwei Tabs "Content" und "Settings". ODER Aktionenmenü rechts vom Titel.

Variante 2

It is proposed that these two functions be offered in a Modal dialog. This modal can be called up via a "Get Feed URL" button in a toolbar.

2.3 Get Feed URL

When the "Get Feed URL" button is clicked, a modal opens. This modal contains an introductory text and the feed URL.

A "Copy Feed URL" link should make it easier to select and copy the URL. If this link is clicked, the feed URL is copied to the clipboard of the computer.

  • Alternative: Only one "Feed URL" link that selects the URL (as currently implemented for iCal calendars).

In addition, a form is displayed in the modal. The checkbox "Enable private RSS Feed" allows you to enter the password directly here in the modal.

The setting corresponds to the current implementation of the "Settings" in the Dashboard News Actions menu. However, it would be possible to access it directly in the modal and not have to refer to a new content page first.
