Dashboard to show RSS feeds and and tweets

1

Hi.

Would PSU be a good tool to create a dashbord that shows feeds from Feedly, Tweets and Google Alerts?

I know there’s support for iframe in Pages but would that be the best option?

My plan is to show the dashboard on a big screen in a Helpdesk. Feeds and tweets should auto update all the time, but I guess that could be done with an Chrome extension.

You can also use iframes in dashboards. It’s likely what I would suggest for this use case since you’ll likely want to customize it more than pages will provide.

You can create iframes with New-UDElement.

New-UDElement -Tag iframe -Attributes @{ 
   src = 'https://www.google.com'
}

Hi Adam.

Thanks. This is just what i am after.

As a test I tried to add Feedly as such:

New-UDDashboard -Title 'PowerShell Universal' -Content {
    
New-UDElement -Tag iframe -Attributes @{ 

   src = 'https://feedly.com/'

} 


}

But it says “Feedly.com refused to connect” (as does google). Other webpages works fine. Is there something I can do about that or is it simply not possible to add certain sites?

Edit: This is what I see: https://i.imgur.com/9SMHgo8.png

Unfortunately, it looks like feedly has a X-Frame-Options set to deny non-origin iframes.

This is a security feature of the browser so you won’t be able to work around it unless they provide some sort of embedded option.

Ah okay.

I can see there’s a Feedly API for Enterprise users. I am only Pro+ atm. But I will look into that part

Thanks
