Introduction
Motivation
Using the standard RSS Feed Portlet of Plone,
you may end up in blocked Zope threads when the
requested URLs are not responding in a sensible time.
This alternative prohibits this by doing
the work on the client.
Abstract
collective.portlet.rssjs adds a new Portlet
RSS Feed (JS) to the Plone Site.
This portlet uses the GOOGLE FEEDS API
via ajax to get and parse rss feeds.
As a boilerplate
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jgfeed
was used.
The dom is manipulated on the client to add the
Feed Items.
The portlet has the same markup as the std Plone
RSS Feed portlet.
