This might be a little complicated, but make a page that contains only the {rss:feed=http://jroller.com/rss/agoncal|count=5} tag, then in your right menu, use an AJAX call to call that page (with xpage=plain appended to the URL so that the menus and headers don't appear). That way, if it takes a while to come up, it shouldn't interfere with the loading of the rest of the page. We've written our own AJAX library a while back, but I think there's one in XWiki now as well. Hope this helps. -Tom -- Tom Kliethermes eSupport Initiatives IBM Information Management (913) 599-7240 Fax: (913) 599-8590 http://www.ibm.com/software/data "Antonio Goncalves" <[email protected]> 05/04/2007 05:45 AM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject [xwiki-users] RSS macro make the entire site to hang Hi, I've created a panel that is displayed on the right side (of every page). This panel displays the five top titles of an external weblog using the rss macro : {rss:feed=http://jroller.com/rss/agoncal|count=5} The problem that I'm facing is that the rss feed is broken (JRoller's problem). And because of that, the macro hangs (for quite a while) and then throws an exception. Because it's displayed on everypage, navigating in the wiki becomes really slow. Is there a way to do something better ?
