| I can't find any entry in the DNN scheduler, so I was wondering, what triggers the start of building the index. |

There are a few ways to go about it....
1. You can simply add Seamus to a few pages to display the latest items. Anytime a user loads the page, 3 items from the queue and 3 feeds are aggregated.
2. You can configure Seamus to be hidden by displaying 0 items and not displaying the feed link. You can then apply the module to all pages on your site. Behind the scenes, via AJAX, Seamus will aggregate items (3 items from queue and 3 rss feeds) every 60 seconds.
3. You can subscribe to the RSS feed via URL and add a single parameter. Example: http://www.venexus.com/DesktopModules/VenexusSeamus/SeamusImage.aspx?RSS=1&Fetch=1
I can add that URL to a feed reader like Google Reader, RSS Bandit, or SharpReader. I use RSS bandit and you can configure it to retrieve that rss feed with the fetch=1 parameter every 1 minute.
4. You can wait to January and we have a new module for making a DNN Scheduled Task. It has been tested for a couple of weeks now without incident, but we have not had time to package it for our subscription. However, this does require a web.config change (hence why we have tried to avoid it for those inexperienced with making such changes). |

A new download is available, VenexusScheduledTask. This does require a change to the web.config. There are instructions in the zip file for setting up the scheduled task in DNN.

So does the scheduled task also only index 3 items at a time?
Cause I'm using it on a multi portal installation with about 70 portals, and I don't want to wait forever until everything finally gets indexed. |

| There are sevral ways the index gets populated. For DNN sites, there is a dump of the data from the core modules. It will automatically index all text/html modules for example. Any links that are found from those modules are added to the queue if they do not already exist in the index. The schedule task does only index 3 urls at a time, and 3 rss feeds. If you are impatient or do not have any traffic, you can always setup a RSS feed reader as described above. |
