Using RSS feeds with keynote

Welcome Wolf12358

Easy to do this in Quartz Composer a free developer tool for visual programming. Other route is if you have Keynote08 you can make a hyperlink to a webpage. Save the slide and open in Keynote09 in which this function has been depreciated for whatever reason. Not sure if the RSS feeds will render but give it a try. If you don't have KN08 but can post the URL somebody will make it and post it for you to dl.

If you need the RSS feed to run continually (for example as part of a kiosk-type implementation), you can use a Dashboard widget running on top of the Keynote presentation. The downside with this approach is that the widget will appear over all the slides (since it is running in a separate "layer").

You may be able to find existing Quartz-based RSS readers that you can use as a model. I would strongly urge you to find one and check it out in Keynote first, as I seem to recall that Keynote will not let Quartz compositions have access to live web data (I may be wrong about this, however).

You know you can place a web page (linked) on a slide in KN08 and import it into KN09 and it will continue to work. Feature was depreciated in KN09 for reasons best know to keynote developers. Will not update the page without reopening the KN file though.

Good point, Tulse. Just another .qtz function disabled in Keynote. RSS is no go.

Nice lateral thinking, Tulse.
