Now that we have enabled RSS at the site level, we can enable RSS in a forum. By enabling RSS, users can add the news feed from the forum to their preferred RSS reader.
Log in as a site admin or course teacher and go to your Community of Practice course.
Click on the forum you want to enable for RSS feeds. Then select Edit settings from the forum Settings menu.
If you have enabled RSS feeds at the site level and enabled them for forums, you will see a new area in the settings page labeled RSS. There are two options for enabling your RSS feed.
Set RSS feed for this activity to either Discussion or Posts. If you set it to Discussion, then each discussion will appear as a news item in your RSS feed. If you want each post to be a news item in the feed, select Posts from the drop-down.
The number of RSS recent articles sets the number of articles to display in the RSS feed. Most often you will set this to a number larger than 5.
