| Parameter | Description | Mandatory |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Service title | No |
| Default number of items per feed | Default value for the number of contents displayed for each feed. Leave empty to display all contents of RSS feeds. | No |
| Default cache time |
Default value for stream caching time. An external feed update will only be visible on your site once the cache validation time has expired. If the cache duration is high, the information displayed on your site may not be up to date for some time, but the feed page will be displayed more quickly: it's important to choose a value suited to the frequency with which the remote RSS feed is updated. | Yes |
| Number of customized feeds |
Number of custom feeds allowed. Personalized feeds are feeds chosen by a logged-in user. By entering a number > 0, you authorize the site user to personalize their page by choosing which feeds they wish to see on the page. Users can choose from a range of flows defined by the service, or define their own URL RSS flows. Warning: allowing custom feeds, even if they are not used, can degrade page performance. |
No |
| Maximum number of flows |
Maximum number of feeds (including custom feeds) displayed to site visitor. Leave empty if you don't want any limitation. When the number of feeds available to a connected visitor exceeds the chosen maximum, the visitor will be able to select the feeds he or she wishes to see from among those available. Caution: limiting the number of feeds displayed to the visitor can degrade page performance. |
