Hello,
technically, yes, you can use RSS/Atom-formatted feeds generated by Feed Informer as source feeds of a digest. But due to FI update mechanism these source feeds would not update unless they are requested regularly, and if source feeds are not up to date, the same is true for the digest.

If you can ensure that source feeds are queried, for example, they are used for the widgets embedded in actual webpages, this might work.

But generally, it's not a good idea.

I have 5 different Digests with different sets of RSS feeds. I am seeking to take the output from these 5 Digests and combine them to produce a single RSS feed output.

Can I accomplish this end result and have a final RSS product output?

To get pictures and video to show up, you should put: %DESCRIPTION% tag instead of %DESCRIPTIONPLAIN% for HTML tags rendering.

Hello ec,

negative keywords are acceptable in both filters, they just should be added without brackets.

As for excluding sites, unfortunately it is not possible at the moment. Still we bear it in mind for future releases.

Thank you.

I am using negative keywords (-keyword) in the "AND" filter as I am trying to remove certain articles from showing in my feed which aren't relevant to my site but this isn't working. Is there a better way to do this? Also, is there a way to make my feed recognize and refuse information from specific sites? I've tried entering it in negative terms in the "AND" filter (-www.nameofsite.com)(-nameofsite) but it doesn't work.

A tutorial will be helpful if someone knows where to find it.

The first link of the forum must be their rules and guidelines as well as tutorials on what is the first thing to do in this site. But it seems that theres nothing in here.

@Netqueen 33,

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately I'm getting a 404 error page not found for the top link. The bottom link works, though, and it definitely clears up some questions I had regarding rss feeds.

Hi All,

For those of you struggling to understand RSS, here's two links that might help:

A Basic Intro: http://rss.softwaregarden.com/aboutrss.htm

Bit more in-depth: http://www.press-feed.com/howitworks/rss_tutorial.php
