Creating Feed Categories
Although the Feeds list can contain links to an unlimited number of feeds, it's sometimes useful to be able to divide them into named categories. This can be achieved using our DataFile Reloading feature: you can add an item to the Feeds list which, when clicked by the user, loads a different datafile into FeedMe containing a different set of feeds.For example, you could start by creating the following datafile, named FeedMe.inf, which would be loaded by FeedMe when the applet first starts. (For clarity we show un-encoded parameters below, and leave out all color/style parameters.)
Feed1=Politics Feeds(We've used the BoldText parameter to highlight links to categories, and left the last two links to RSS feeds in plain text.) If the user clicks one of the first 3 links, FeedMe will load the specified datafile, and the feeds it contains will appear in the Feeds list, replacing those above. The only thing remaining is to ensure the user can get back to the original list, containing the categories. To do this, insert this item as Feed1 in the other INF files: Feed1=<< Back To CategoriesNOTE: Remember that each datafile you create must also contain all your color/style (etc.) parameters. If you're creating datafiles manually, you can copy-and-paste these from the first datafile into the others. If you use Design Studio follow these steps:
