Podcasts configuration

To use the podcast portlet, you should create <portal-name>/podcast directory and place there podcast.xml file.

1. Structure

The podcast.xml file has the following structure:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<podcast max-podcasts="max-number-of-items-displayed">

  <feed>
      <id>podcast-id</id>
      <url>podcast-URL</url>
  </feed>

  <feed>
      <id>podcast-id</id>
      <url>podcast-URL</url>
  </feed>

  ...

</podcast>

2. URLs

You can use external URLs (beginning with http://) or, for appropriately configured feeds, /feeds/<feed-name>/<feed-type> address. See FeedsConf for more details.

3. Number of items displayed

Attribute max-podcasts defines how many items from the given podcast feeds will be displayed. Only max-podcast latest items are shown.

This attribute is not mandatory (default value equals 50).

4. Example

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<podcast max-podcasts="5">

  <feed>
      <id>my_external_podcast</id>
      <url>http://www.myhomepage.org/audioblog.xml</url>
  </feed>

  <feed>
      <id>my_project_podcast</id>
      <url>/feeds/myproject/podcast/rss2</url>
  </feed>

</podcast>
