iPhone & iPod Touch Help
Logging in: Please go to http://iphone.mdigger.net from your device to log in.
Viewing mClips - After logging in you will see your dashboard. It contains the list of all the mClips and RSS and blog feeds you selected. To view an mClip, just touch it. To go back to your dashboard, touch the “Dashboard” button on the top left-hand side of your screen.
Refreshing your mClips - Touch the “Refresh” button at the bottom of the main screen to receive updated information for all your mClips and feeds.
Browsing our Catalog - Touch the “Edit” button on the top right-hand side of your screen. Then touch the “Add” button. Select the language of the catalog you wish to see (for instance “English”). You may browse through categories or search for specific Internet sources by pressing the “Search” button and entering a source name or keyword that interests you.
Adding mClips from Catalog - Touch the desired mClip and then push the “Add” button to have the corresponding mClip added to your dashboard.
Adding RSS Feeds - RSS feeds contain frequently updated content published by a website. Feeds are usually used for distributing news, pictures, audio or video. First, go to a website that contains a feed to get its URL. Look for icons similar to
or
used by websites to identify RSS feeds. Click on such icon to open the feed. Copy the URL from the “Address” bar of your browser. To add an RSS feed to your Dashboard, first touch “Edit” on the top right-hand side of your screen. Then touch “Add”. Choose “RSS Feeds”. Copy the URL of your RSS feed into the “URL” text box. If you wish to give your feed a name, enter it in the “RSS Name” box. Then touch the “Add” button. To edit an RSS feed, please remove it from dashboard and add it back again with your changes.
mDigger now supports podcast feeds. Simply add them to your dashboard as you would a regular RSS feed.
RSS Views - mDigger can display RSS feeds on your device in three views.
- Headline View displays links to all articles in the feed. All articles are downloaded on your device for off-line viewing. Good for feeds or blogs with long articles.
- One Page View displays all articles in the feed as one list. Good for feeds with short summaries.
- Headline View for Blogspot.com and Blogger.com should be used for blog feeds only. This view displays links to all articles in the blog AND downloads full articles from it for off-line viewing even if the blog’s RSS feed contains only headlines.
Password Protected RSS Feeds – If an RSS feed you want to add requires you to log in, then you may enter that login information by touching the “Connect As” box.
Removing mClips or RSS Feeds from your Dashboard – Select “Remove” from the menu. A list of all of the mClips and RSS feeds contained in your dashboard will appear. Touch the
icon on the right-hand side of the mClip or feed you wish to delete and press the “Remove” button at the bottom of the screen. Press “Remove” again to confirm and use your browser’s back button to return to your Dashboard.
