Installation

  1. NuGet Package
    Install this NuGet package in your Visual Studio project. Makes updating easy.

Configuration

In order to use the package, you must create a new configuration file at ~/config/FetchFeed.config. The content should look something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <feeds>
        <!-- interval in minutes -->
        <feed alias="SkybrudRss" url="http://www.skybrud.dk/rss" path="~/App_Data/FetchFeed/SkybrudRss.xml" interval="5" />
    </feeds>
</configuration>

Also, in ~/config/umbracoSettings.config you must find the scheduledTasks element, and append a new child element:

<task log="true" alias="FetchFeed" interval="60" url="http://localhost/umbraco/api/FetchFeed/Update" />

Make sure that the domain matches your Umbraco installation.
