    Prevent dashboard from loading external feeds/content

    Several pages in Umbraco's dashboard try to load some kind of feed for sample video's, latest news items, ... But our webserver is not allowed to make requests to the outside world (firewall policy).

    I now get quiet a few error messages in my log alerting for a timeout.
    Ex.: /umbraco/dashboard/feedproxy.aspx?url=http://umbraco.org/feeds/videos/developer-foundation

    Can I prevent Umbraco from loading this external data so my error log doesn't get filled up with these errors? We don't like to set up an extra firewall rule for this.

    Or is it an issue/bug in the code because timeouts are not handled correctly?
    The error occurs after this call: dashboardUtilities.FeedProxy.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)

    Hi Stief,

    You can remove unwanted dashboard items by editing the ~/config/Dashboard.config file.

    HTH,

    You were absolutely right, removing them from the config solved the problem. I should have known that to.

    Thanks.
