RSS-to-XHTMLB Transformer

Use

This topic describes the RSS-to-XHTMLB transformer provided by SAP. It also discusses parameters associated with the XML transformer, which you can customize in the XML iView Editor.

Name	RSS_TO_XHTMLB
Description	An XSL-based (Extensible Stylesheet Language) transformer, which converts RSS-based XML feeds to the intermediate XHTMLB format. The resulting XHTMLB format cannot be handled by the portal runtime. Therefore, this XML transformer should be positioned before the XHTMLB-to-HTMLB Transformer ( XHTMLBSAXHandler ) in a pipeline transformation.
Input format	RSS (versions 0.91, 0.92, 1.0, and 2.0)
Output format	XHTMLB
Parameters	`LinksTarget`	Description: Specifies the target frame or window for links displayed in the runtime RSS feed. Value type: String Valid values: See MSDN for a definition of pre-defined valid values; however, you can use your own definitions. In the portal framework, typically you want the links to open in a new window, and if a window is already open, subsequent links should open in that window replacing the previous content. Default value: `_RSSItemWindow`
`ShowDatesMode`	Description: Defines which dates are displayed in the output format. Value type: String Valid values: `MAIN_ONLY` : Only the main feed update date is shown. `ITEMS_ONLY` : Only the item dates in the RSS are shown. `ALL` : The feed update date and all item dates are shown. Default value: `ITEMS_ONLY`
`ShowTime`	Description: Specifies whether or not to display the time of each item. Note that the time display is affected also by `ShowDatesMode` parameter (the time is shown only where the date is displayed). Value type: Boolean Valid values: `true` , `false` Default value: `true`
`GroupByDate`	Description: Specifies whether or not to groups items according to date. This parameter is not valid when `ShowDatesMode` is set to `MAIN_ONLY` . Value type: Boolean Valid values: `true` , `false` Default value: `true`
`DateFormat`	Description: Defines the output format of the date display. Value type: String Valid values: The syntax is defined in `java.text.SimpleDateFormat` class documentation in the JDK (Java Development Kit). Default value: `EEEE, MMM dd, yyyy`
`TimeFormat`	Description: Defines the output format of the time display. Value type: String Valid values: The syntax is defined in `java.text.SimpleDateFormat` class documentation in the JDK (Java Development Kit). Default value: `HH:mm:ss a`
`ScrollHeight`	Description: Specifies the height of the area displaying the list of items in the iView below the header area. This parameter does not affect the generic `iView Height` property of the iView. Value type: String Valid values: Enter either a value in pixels or percentage. For example: `300` or `50%` Default value: `300` (pixels)
