This is the Enterprise theme view of the widget in not paged, not filtered mode.

Description

In Telligent Community 7.0, the view type option was removed. It was added back in 7.1.

Purpose

The RSS Feed widget displays the most recent items from RSS feeds.

Where it works

This widget works on just about any page on the site.

Limitations

The RSS Feed widget does not support reading ATOM feeds.

Telligent Community uses RSS.NET and thus uses its supported RSS versions.
