Use an Article and a Foreach loop in a Template to insert all the entries from an RSS feed into a Template. 

To include all RSS Feed entries

First, create an Article to call the RSS Feed Reference Tags:

  1. Go to CONTENT > VIEW TEMPLATES to view the list of templates.
  2. Click Add Article to open the Add Article page.
  3. Enter the Article Name and Description.
  4. For the Body, add the RSS Feed Entry Tags you wish to display.   See the examples below.
  5. Click CREATE to save the Article.

Next, create a Template and Define the RSS Feed and call the Article:

  1. Click Go to CONTENT > VIEW TEMPLATES to view the list of templates. 
  2. Click Create new template to open the Add Template page. 
  3. Enter a Name and Subject.
  4. Click the format tab in which you wish to include the feed: Plain Text, HTML, Mobile.
  5. In the Template area, add the RSS Feed Definition Tag:

%%rssfeed url=[URL] name=[NAME]%%

where [URL] is the URL to access the RSS feed, [NAME] is the identifier within your content.

  1. Add a foreach tag to call the Article in which the feed is referenced:

%%foreach "[NAME]" article "[ARTICLE_NAME]" type=rss%%

where [NAME] is the identifier within your content and [ARTICLE_NAME] is the article in which the RSS Feed References are defined.
