Newsfeed (RSS) in the middle?

Heart · 03.05.2004, 12:16

Hi,

with the build in newsfeeds-module I can publish a rss-feed eg. left or right of my page.

Is it possible that the newsfeed is displayed in the middle of the page?

E.g. make a new main menu item and when a user clicks it he gets the rss-newsfeed in the middle of the page (like a "normal" content page)?

Simply create a link, to newsfeeds component in your main menu

Too simple

But....

When I have more than one newsfeed published the newsfeeds on the site are shown ALL in one page.

How can I browse directly to only ONE newsfeed?
(so that I can make links in the main menu... one link for one newsfeed in the middle)

Thanks

dont know if you have sorted this problem yet but here is one answer:

firstly make a news feed link as normal, browse to it and copy the url ie: index.php?option=com_newsfeeds&task=view&feedid=22 &Itemid=37

then make a new URL link menu item using the copied URL and there you have it. A news feed opening in the middle from a menu link.

I hope that was clear enough?

Well, I have found out a roundabout way of doing this. But it works! And it is flawless!!

To get the updated pages, simply click on any menu item of your interest under 'Medical News' on the top navigation buttons.

...but I can't see any menu item 'Medical News'...!?

Well, there is a menu on top. Is your javascript enabled?

Here's the screenshot:

Hehe, never mind. It is a lesson for me to learn that the menu was not easily seen, so not very useful!

I am making a 'complate' for mambo that will have this function of having RSS feeds as links within mambo. I will post it the moment I finish it.

Complate because it will be sort of a combination between a component and a template
