Hi,

I would like to put external rss feed to my home page, replacing site news/blog. I created the feed under rss module but don't have an idea hot to put in on place now.

To setup a system to pull an existing feed from somewhere on the net, you need that feeds URL.


eg:
"Headlines for the New York Times"
http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1001

once you have that URL, you need to set it up in your admin panel to be searched on later.

FEED READER -> TOOLS -> CREATE

You will see the option to either "Select a feed" or "Specify a Feed".

Since you have the URL you want to use, ignore the "Select a Feed" section and dont touch it.

In the "Specify a Feed" area:
Feed Name: NYT
Feed URL: http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1001

Then CREATE.

Next in your templates wherever you want to show that feed, you use the name that you gave it NYT to pull it out where you want it.

Use this code to display it:

Code
{jrFeed_list name="NYT"}


You can add other parameters like the limit:

Code
{jrFeed_list name="NYT" limit="10"}


or

Code
{jrFeed_list name="NYT" limit="10" template="rss_feed_template.tpl"}

if you want to change the layout of the rss feed. If you do, use the rss_list.tpl in the jrFeeds module folder as a base if you just want to change it.
