    Multiple feeds in a playlist.

    Hi all, My user is trying to create a playlist that has two rss feeds, with different backrounds and a event schedule bulletin all in one.. Does anyone have any pointers on how to do this. I'm more of the tech support for the system, content creation is not my strong point.

    We have a playlist that pulls our campus news from RSS and our campus events calendar RSS plus we add some special bulletins from time to time.  They both have different backgrounds.  You just add both your RSS feeds in the Configure > News > RSS Feeds.  Then go to Create > News Bulletin and do that process twice to create the list from each of your feeds and assign them both to the same playlist.  The only thing we've found is that you can't mix the play order.  All the news bulletins from Feed 1 play first together and then the bulletings from Feed 2 play together.  We've never found a way to mix the order.

     So let me understand what you're trying to do... you want 1 playlist to contain 3 slides... 1 with one rss feed, 1 with a 2nd rss feed and 1 with an event schedule?  Am I correct on this part?

    Yes JDiller, and thank you very much CPalmer i will have her try that and then explain how easy it was to elicit the help of others. But Jdiller yes and know there are multiple slides in each, the two RSS feeds that come internally from our Intranet list campus news and the 3 is a EMS feed, there could be 10+ slides for each of those different sections, and all have different backrounds. thanks again for everyones input.
