can I customise the url of an instance of an RSS portlet?

Is there a way to customize the 'url' property of an RSS portlet? I'd like
to be able to add a load of RSS portlets to my page and then dynamically
(i.e. using the 'Customize' link) point them each to a different RSS feed.

The documentation indicates that only init parameters can be customized and
that these parameters are at the portlet level, not the portlet instance
level. Am I right in thinking this can't be done or am I just not getting
it?

Thanks in anticipation

RE: can I customise the url of an instance of an RSS portlet?

Posted by Mark Orciuch <ma...@ngsltd.com>.
This is not possible with current RSS portlet because the feed is read
during the portlet init phase. You will have to modify RSS portlet to
achieve the desired behaviour. It can be done, I've done it before.
