ParameterDescriptionMandatory
TitleService titleNo
Default number of items per feedDefault 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.

Custom feeds are feeds chosen by a logged-in user.

If the field is empty or written with the number 0, you do not authorize the user to customize feeds.

By entering a number > 1, you authorize site users to personalize their page by choosing which feeds they wish to see on the page. Users can select feeds from those defined by the service, or define their own URL feeds RSS.

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.
