Forums:

Is there a way to put filters on an RSS feed...like date?  I just found a feed: http://rss.dealcatcher.com/rss.xml and I would like to either restict it by date or vendor.  Is it possible with XN?

Type 'about:config' in the location bar.
Create 'extensions.xnotifier.accounts.[rss#USERNAME].keyword'.
Set it to the keyword you want.

Is there a way for multiple keywords for one feed or just a single keyword?

You can set multiple keywords like this.
'keyword1,keyword2'

So you are saying to add another key as in the image and replace alias with 'keyword1,keyword2,etc'?

I think you need to create a key called:

extensions.xnotifier.accounts.[rss#http ://rss.dealcatcher.com/rss.xml].keyword

...and set the value to:  whatever,Amazon,Rakuten,whatever

Just guesstimating though.

I haven't time to try this until today.  I put the proper key and value in and it does not seem to make a difference.  I'll have to dig into it more when I have time.

 

BTW.....I tried to delete the key and did not find an option.....I thought I was able to do it before.  Am I missing something?  I am on Cyberfox not Firefox...but I will try and see if the DELETE option s in Firefox.

If you right-click the key, you will see reset... click that and close the about:config window. 
Open it again and the key should be gone.

I seen the RESET but did not exit and recheck.  I will give it a try.  I could have sworn before I was able to delete.
