In perch i could see the possibility of integrating an RSS feed with Website . There is one doubt here . The RSS feed will only reflect what information it has onto the website . Is there a possibility via perch where i can store the information from RSS so that even if the link goes down i still have the data intact ?
Looking for an answer here !
Hello Titus,
Are you looking to import the data into Perch? If so, you can import the data into a Collection (Perch Runway only): https://docs.grabaperch.com/api/import/collections/
Thanks a lot ! . Just out of curiosity if i need to display the xml data with custom styling i use the RSS feed documentation of perch right ?
Not planning to upgradeto runaway justfor the storing part .
I don't understand the question. Could you clarify?
Yup no probs ,
The situation is this .
I will be receiving a live feed like the example given above from a custom built CRM . The data is basically property listings with a set of custom fields .
Will it be possible for me to display the listings on the website using the documentation " https://docs.grabaperch.com/perch/content/functions/how-do-i-add-an-rss-feed/ " . I can create a template for the listings so that each listing is displayed in the same format .
If I'm wrong , do let me know as the entire project relies on this .
The documentation you linked to is for adding an RSS feed for a multi-item region. So this is for content stored in Perch. You can generate an RSS feed for any content stored in Perch (Blog posts, Shop products, Collection items, etc).
Your external CRM has a live feed for content that is not stored in Perch. So the solution in the documentation does not apply since the CRM's feed content is not stored Perch.
A more practical approach would be to import the content from the feed into a Runway Collection.
