Embedding Feeds

Any¹ of the above feeds can be embedded anywhere you like. Simply replace .xml with .w.html in the URL and it’ll produce a feed preview that can be embedded in an iframe easily. (.w.xml is also available but does not work for Safari users, ~10% of our traffic.)

Digests

We created these ‘digests’ 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="https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/feeds/matrix-week.w.html"></iframe>
<iframe width="340px" height="600px" src="https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/feeds/matrix-day.w.html"></iframe>

Community Specific Digests

Some digests were created for individual communities:

These are easily embedded, note the .w.html ending, indicating a widget. (There is a .w.xml version with an atom feed and separate XSLT style sheet, but we’ve generated the HTML from that automatically as well, which is more compatible with Safari users..)

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 (XML): This is the Atom feed version of the widget that you could subscribe to. You can embed this directly in an iframe, if you do not care about Safari users.
• Feed Widget (HTML): This is a pre-XSLT’d version of the Atom feed, ready for user in an iframe for all users!
