Hey;

I am having a problem with connecting a rss feed viewer web part with
a list of rss feeds.

Initially I created a List called "RSS Feed List" and added a URL
column to store the RSS URL. Then I created a new view called "Select
Feed" which only contained the URL.

After adding in the RSS URLs, I added a "RSS Feed Viewer" Web Part to
a page and then also added the "RSS Feed List". The "RSS Feed List"
then was set to use the view "Select Feed" in the webpart.

Using the connections option in the Edit drop down menu for the "RSS
Feed Viewer", I was given the option to use the following four
options:
- Get Feed Parameter From
- Get Feed URL From
- Get Parameters From
- Get Filter Values From

I used the "Get Feed URL From". Here I had the only option of using
the "Select Feed" view which I choose and then I prompted with a
Webpage Dialog box showing a dropdown menu for the URL column in
"Select Feed". I choose the column and clicked finish.

After this was complete the "RSS Feed List" showed radio buttons.
But, the "RSS Feed Viewer" stated the following in the Web Part.
"Web part is not bound to a feed. Open the tool pane to set the feed
Url."
Even when I clicked on the radio buttons in the Feed List it would not
change the Feed Viewer.

I anyone can help me figure what I am doing wrong or if what I am
looking to do is even possible. Thanks in advances!

I forgot to state that this is an issue I am having on the MOSS 2007
Production.

From the details you gave, it appears you did not enter the URL for the
feed. You have to enter the URL in order for the RSS web part to retrieve
the feed. URL example:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/yoursite

OR

http://yoursite.com/rss.aspx

Yes I did not enter in a rss url. But I was expecting the "RSS
Viewer" web part to pull the rss feed url from the "RSS Feed" list
(which is populated with RSS feeds) using the "Get Feed URL From"
connnection. I need the "RSS Viewer" to be dynamic so thats why I am
trying to use a list to populate the "RSS Viewer" with the RSS URL.
Is this possible?

Ali,

I think you are not using the built-in RSS web part that comes with MOSS
2007. Is this the case? Are you using a third party web part?
