The FusePoint RSS Feed Viewer web part displays external RSS feeds (from either XML or JSON sources) directly in your SharePoint page. Designed for flexibility, it allows content editors to map properties from feed sources and fully control the card layout using an HTML template with placeholders.
Features
1. Support for RSS Format
Accepts external feeds in JSON or XML format.
2. Custom Field Mapping
Map the following properties per data source:
Title
Subtitle
Content
Image
Link
Supports different property names across sources (e.g., content instead of description).
3. HTML Card Template
Create custom layouts using an HTML template with placeholders:
Use {{property}} for plain text.
Use {{{property}}} to render raw HTML (e.g., formatted content blocks).
4. Sorting and Limit
Set the maximum number of posts to display.
Choose sorting direction (ascending or descending).
Sort by a given property (default or manually entered if not detected).
5. Default Display
A basic, pre-styled card layout is provided out of the box.
Users can override it with a custom HTML template if needed.
Configuration Options
Feed Format – Select between XML or JSON as the expected response format.
Field Mapping – Define which properties in the feed match the following fields:
Title
Subtitle
Content
Image
Link
You may leave fields empty if the feed already uses the default name.
Custom Card Template (HTML) – Enter custom HTML markup to define how each feed item should appear. Use placeholders like {{title}}, {{link}}. For rendering raw HTML from the feed (e.g., content with <b>), use triple brackets: {{{content}}}.
Max Number of Posts – Limit the number of items displayed from the feed.
Default Sort Order – Select Ascending or Descending.
Sort Property Name – Enter the property name used to sort items (e.g., published, dateCreated).
Example Use Case
Use this web part on your homepage or internal dashboard to pull in news updates, external blog posts, or third-party content — all while keeping control over how it looks and which properties are shown.
