RSS Feed Block

[nileshgulia1]

@polyester I was doing this as my internship . Continuing with the decision in tokyo, Can you please elaborate how the Tile should look and what function should it do. Right now I've just implemented the pastanaga icon into the tiles menu like so: https://github.com/plone/volto/commit/80c84aadcc7fb6741bd8f9619fa37cd2fd66af99

In my understanding:

• have one (and only one) RSS feed url. I haven't actually seen any real-life usecases for authenticated/protected RSS-feeds ; so for starters I would assume public feed.
• setting for number of items to display
• setting for refresh rate
• setting for title to display above the list (non-essential)

and then the tile should basically display whatever it gets fed.

The Mosaic tile perfectly covers that functionality in python-based tiles, maybe that helps: https://github.com/plone/plone.app.standardtiles/blob/master/plone/app/standardtiles/rss.py

@polyester just to be clear. As an editor, you want to be able to embed content from a remote website by adding the RSS-feed URL. The items of the RSS-feed should be displayed in a Volto page as a content tile, correct?

[polyester]

Yes, you want to embed the content of the RSS feed. So it should show the RSS feed content, which usually is a list of titles which serve as the display part of a URL on the remote website, and a summary, which sometimes also has a thumbnail. Of course there's several react-components that already contain helper functionality.

@nzambello nice. From the package description I couldn't fully figure out how this works. Is it possible to add a screenshot to the description?
