Editing the Sources Fields

You can only choose to have one source selected at a time, but you can keep the sources fields filled out and saved to specific preferences.

Editing the Navigation

  1. Select the type of page you wish to pull from. Typically the selection “Children” is used.
  2. Insert the xID for the starting page. Usually, this will contain the xID of the folder used to contain all of the Children event pages.
  3. Max Nodes is usually left alone—but the number you specify here will control how many items the Important Dates component will return. Specifying a number can be useful when there are dozens, and hundreds, of events kept in an event folder.
  4. Max depth is also usually left alone—but the number you specify here will control how far the component will pull dates. Specifying a number can be useful when there are dozens, and hundreds, of events kept in an event folder.

Editing the RSS Feed

  1. Find the RSS feed you wish to pull dates from.
  2. Copy that RSS feed’s URL
  3. Paste the URL into the RSS feed’s field.
