How do I add a news feed to a Matrix channel?
-
You must be an Admin in the channel. Find this out by going to the channel and selecting Room info –> People, or clicking on the little circle images of people in a channel. Admins can make other admins.
-
Go to Room info –> Extensions –> Add extension –> Feeds
-
Under Subscribe to a feed, add a URL from this GTN feeds listing. Make sure that it ends in
.xml
. For example,https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/community/feed.xml
would provide updates on any community-tagged GTN materials into the Matrix channel. -
Under Template, change the existing text to the following:
$LINK: $SUMMARY
-
Provide a reasonable name, and then hit Subscribe!
