Configuration

The live feed is served by the ngdpbase feeds addon (#685). Enable it and declare the source in the instance app-custom-config.json, then restart. The production config uses flat dot-notation keys (not nested JSON):

{
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.enabled": true,
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.adapter": "xml",
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.url": "https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/volcanonews.rss",
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.itemsPath": "rss.channel.item",
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.type": "VolcanoActivityReport",
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.schemaType": "Article",
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.intervalMinutes": 30,
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.recordIdField": "link",
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.map.title": "title",
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.map.link": "link",
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.map.pubDate": "pubDate",
  "ngdpbase.addons.feeds.sources.volcanodiscovery-activity.map.summary": "description"
}

type is the domain label (VolcanoActivityReport); schemaType stays Article per the same constraint noted on Tsunamis. recordIdField is link, not guid — VolcanoDiscovery's <guid isPermaLink="true"> element carries an attribute, so the XML parser returns it as {@isPermaLink, #text} rather than a plain string, and the adapter silently drops any record whose id doesn't resolve to a string/number. <link> has no attributes and is guaranteed unique per article, so it's used as the id instead.
