Liberal Democrats: Flock Together

In response to requests, I’ve added some options for organisations Flock Together RSS feeds, such as you might want to use on a local party or organisational website.

You can find the basic RSS feed on the organisation page of the party organisation you’re interested in - which you can find via search or via this page. The feed can be found towards the bottom behind a small button such as this one . Just right click the button and select ‘copy link location’ in Firefox or ‘copy shortcut’ in Internet Explorer to get the address of the RSS feed.

You should then have something like:

http://www.flocktogether.org.uk/rss.php?Organisation=567

To sort the meetings in order of reverse appearance (i.e. the most ‘recent’ post will be the most immediate upcoming meeting), add:

&sortorder=meetingdate

If you want to show your feed on a Prater Raines site, then the best option is just to add the following to your URL:

&praterraines=yes

If you want to exclude ‘parent’ meetings (for a local party, this might mean your regional, national or federal party), then add:

&showparent=no

If you want to exclude ‘child’ meetings (for a regional party, this might mean from local parties in their area), then add:

&showchildren=no

Finally, to set the publish date to the meeting date (which may break some feedreaders, since the publish date will be in the future), just add:

&scheduleddate=yes

I’ve added the functionality to register, and look for, resources such as RISOs on Flock Together.

This should make it easier for people to find a printer or RISO for printing Focus and other campaign literature.

You can add your RISO at http://www.flocktogether.org.uk/registerResource.php

Are there any other resources you think we should include or extra functions we should add? Have your say:
