Syndicated content grouped feeds  (#4118)
Issue

If you add two (or more) feeds to the synd. content asset, and select a max number of headlines, the items of the second feed will never show if the number of items in the first feed is larger or equal to the max number of headlines.

For example take two feeds: feed A with seven items and feed B with 6 items. Set max number of headlines to 6. Now only items from feed A are being displayed.

If you set the max no. of headlines to 8, it will display seven (all) items of feed A and one of feed B.

Desired behaviour though, would be that four items of each feed are displayed.

 

I think intended behaviour would be to divide the max number of headlines by the number of feeds. Then an equal number of items will be displayed for each feed.

If the number needs to be rounded, the first feed should be given priority (e.g. if max headlines is 7, display 4 of feed A and 3 of feed B).

 

Btw. I consider this a bug, because it renders the grouped feeds feature useless with a low max number of headlines.

Thanks.

Right now rss feeds are sorted by date of the feed.  So if you have multiple feeds, the stories from all feeds will be sorted by date, and then that list is trucated at the max number of headlines limit.  So this should be an RFE.

Understood, thank you.
