eChalk+directions+for+RSS+feeds

Thank you for contacting eChalk Support.

We understand that you would like to display an RSS feed on your school's eChalk site.

If you have the Web address of an RSS feed and would like to display it on your school's homepage, you will need to enter in the Web address of the RSS feed into an online tool that converts the RSS feed into a format that can be viewed on your site. There are various tools available on the Internet that would allow you to convert the RSS feed into HTML format but the one I find that seems to work best is available at the following site: http://www.rss-to-javascript.com/p/RSSRDF-Converter___138.html

Once you arrive to this site, paste the Web address of the RSS feed you would like displayed on your homepage in the field URL field. You can then scroll down the page and select the display options for the feed. Then click on the Generate JavaScript button. A screen will display the converted code. Highlight and copy all the HTML code that was generated. You may now paste this code into any text box in eChalk to display the RSS feed. Prior to pasting the code, remember to click on the drop down menu above the text box and select No Formatting. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to me at (800)499-2741!
