<h1>Syndication Settings</h1>
<p class="auto" style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)" align="right">-- Draft Version</p><p class="auto" style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)" align="left">To syndicate your site is to make the Content Items from your Web site assigned to the FrontPage Component available for syndication via a distributable file. <br /><br /><strong>Cache:</strong> Yes or No? Choose the 'Yes' radio button to create and display a new News Feed dependant on the value set in the Cache Time field. Choose the 'No' radio button to display a new News Feed each time an item is added to the FrontPage Component and each time the News Feed is accessed by another server. <br /><strong><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)">Warning:</span></strong> Setting Cache to 'No' will cause your News Feed to be checked every time someone visits any site where your News Feed is syndicated. This can potentially cause excessive bandwidth usage as well as extreme draw on your server resources.<br /><br /><strong>Cache Time</strong>: This is the number of seconds before your site's database is checked for updates. The default in Joomla is 3600 seconds, or 60 minutes. After this time has elapsed, the News Feed will refresh itself from your database thus displaying any new items you have published through the FrontPage Component to your News Feed.</p><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)" name="p310-5"></a><p class="auto" style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)" align="left"><strong>#Items:</strong> Type the number of items you would like to syndicate and display in your News Feed. <strong></strong><br /><br /><strong>Title:</strong> Type the title you wish to display above your articles within your syndicated News Feed when it is displayed on those sites and pages which syndicate your News Feed. The title will appear as a link to your site.<br /><br /><strong>Description:</strong> Type a brief statement to describe your News Feed. If none is entered, it will default to "Joomla site syndication".<br /><br /><strong>Image:</strong> Select an image from the <span class="nobr">drop-down</span> menu to be included in your News Feed. If you do not have an image, you can upload one via the Media Manager.<br /><br /><strong>Image Alt:</strong> Type the text for the “alt� tag to compliment the image you've selected for inclusion in the News Feed via the Image <span class="nobr">drop-down</span> menu.<br /><br /><strong>Limit Text:</strong> Yes or No? Choose the 'Yes' radio button if you wish to limit the Text Length field. Choose the 'No' radio button to force the value in the Text Length field to be ignored, thus displaying the entire contents of each item.<a name="p310-11"></a></p><p class="auto" style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)" align="left"><strong>Text Length:</strong> Type the number of words to display per News Feed item. <br /><strong>NOTE:</strong> The Limit Text radio button must be set to 'YES' to activate this function.<br /></p><p class="auto" style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)" align="left">Order: Order that the items —as listed in the FrontPage Manager— will be displayed. <br /></p><ul><li><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)">'Default': Arranges items according to the order set in the FrontPage Manager.</span></li><li><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)">'FrontPage Ordering': Same as above.</span></li><li><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)">'Oldest first': Arranges items in chronological order, with the oldest items first.</span></li><li><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)">'Most recent first': Arranges items in chronological order, with the newest items first.</span></li><li><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)">'Title Alphabetical': Arranges items by title in alphabetical order.</span></li><li><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)">'Title Reverse-Alphabetical': Arranges items in reverse-alphabetical order.</span></li><li><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)">'Author Alphabetical': Arranges items by author in alphabetical order.</span></li><li><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)">'Author Reverse-Alphabetical': Arranges items by author in reverse alphabetical order.</span></li><li><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)">'Most Hits': Arranges items according to the number of hits, with the items with the most hits first.</span></li><li><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)">'Least Hits': Arranges items according to the number of hits, with the items with the least hits first.</span></li></ul><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"><br />Live Bookmarks: Activate support for Firefox Live Bookmark functionality.<br />Bookmark File: Special file name.
