- <TITLE>Configuring RSS feeds</TITLE>
- <p>Using P4Web, you can configure RSS feeds that display:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>latest submitted changelists</li>
- <li>newest jobs</li>
- <li>jobs filtered by a selected user's jobview</li>
- <li>latest submitted changelists affecting the files reviewed by a selected
- user</li>
- </ul>
- <p>You must have an RSS news aggregator/reader installed, such as Sage for Mozilla.
- Some browsers can be configured for RSS feeds. Check whether your preferred
- browser can be configured to work with a RSS news aggregator/reader. Standalone
- RSS aggregators/readers are also available.</p>
- <p>To enable you to configure an RSS feed, P4Web displays an "RSS 2.0"
- link and an <img src="/xml?icon"> button on the following P4Web pages:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Submitted changelists</li>
- <li>Jobs</li>
- <li>User Specification (for JobView and Reviews)</li>
- </ul>
- <p>To create an RSS feed:</p>
- <ol>
- <li>Browse to the desired P4Web page. On the <b>Submitted Changelists</b> and
- <b>Jobs</b> pages, you can use filtering to display the information you want.</li>
- <li>Copy the link location from the "RSS 2.0" link or <img src="/xml?icon">
- button to the clipboard (right-click and choose the context menu option that
- copies the link to the clipboard<b></b>).</li>
- <li>Define a feed for your RSS news aggregator/reader using the link you copied
- in step 2.</li>
- </ol>
- <p>Detailed, browser-specific instructions follow.</p>
