Embedding Feeds

Any¹ of the above feeds can be embedded anywhere you like. Simply replace .xml with .w.xml in the URL and it’ll produce a feed preview that is more

amenable to embedding.

<iframe width="340px" height="600px" src="/training-material/events/feed.w.xml"></iframe>
<iframe width="340px" height="600px" src="/training-material/topics/admin/feed.w.xml"></iframe>
<iframe width="340px" height="600px" src="/training-material/topics/one-health/feed.w.xml"></iframe>

Rollups

We created these ‘rollups’ based on the bot that posted updates to our Matrix channel, they are simply digests of recent changes to help keep community members up to date.

These can be embedded like so:

<iframe width="340px" height="600px" src="/training-material/feeds/matrix-month.w.xml"></iframe>
<iframe width="340px" height="600px" src="/training-material/feeds/matrix-week.w.xml"></iframe>
<iframe width="340px" height="600px" src="/training-material/feeds/matrix-day.w.xml"></iframe>

Community Specific Rollups

Some rollups were created for individual communities:

These are easily embedded, note the .w.xml ending, indicating a widget. (This is simply used to provide an alternate XSLT that renders better in an iframe.

<iframe width="340px" height="600px" src="/training-material/feeds/single-cell-month.w.xml"></iframe>
<iframe width="340px" height="600px" src="/training-material/feeds/one-health-month.w.xml"></iframe>

Differences between feeds

Having two feeds with the same data might seem a bit odd but we have two separate user stories we want to address:

• Feed Reader: This is the feed you’d subscribe to in your feed reader, and more importantly, the sort of feed that you’d send to someone else if they were curious how to follow updates to the GTN.
• Feed Widget: This is the feed you’d embed in your website, or in a widget on a page. It’s designed to be more visually appealing and easier to read in a small space.
