Confluence 2.9 : RSS Feed Macro
This page last changed on Jul 11, 2007 by smaddox.
RSS feed macro embeds an RSS feed on a page. It can display the contents of external feeds, or internal feeds generated by Confluence. To display blog posts or list recently updated pages in a space, use the Feed Builder to create an internal feed, then render it using this macro. UsageUse the Wiki Markup Editor to edit the page and insert the RSS macro with your feed link. Replace the 'http://www.example.com/rss/' URL with your own feed link in this example: {rss:url=http://www.example.com/rss/}

You will need to install the Cache Macro. To enable caching:
Accessing Internal HTTPS FeedsThis only applies to Confluence instances which have enabled HTTPS for all content. If your site is fully HTTPS, the RSS macro cannot access internal feeds.
