Hello,

i now use 4.5(1.0.9) and i'd like to add a RSS link ( http://nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Sport ) in a module, but i can't get it work.

Can someone help me please?

Hi -

here's one way. I created a module called WEB MONITORS. Then I added the following in the HTML section of my editor

<a href="http://nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Sport"><img hspace="0" border="0" align="bottom" src="http://EnterPathforGraphic.png" /></a>

I created a RSS graphic button for the feeds I wanted. Just put in whatever graphic you would like.

Ok, i did that, but now i do get a picture/button. That was not the question. i want that the RSS, so the info from another site is placed in a module....

chk www.wvv-wierden.nl at the right buttom (here i put the picture/button)

Sorry, I misintepreted your question. I haven't played around with what you're doing, but I did have some success with the following steps.

1. Go to Modules | Site Modules | New

2. On the form that appears, enter in your Title, location, and so on. I did not enter anything in the editor area.

3. Click the Parameters tab.

4. On the RSS URL line, enter the location of the RSS feed. I think you were using: http://nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Sport

5. In the Items line, put in the number of stories you would like to display.

6. Indicate if you want the feed description to show. Since you're not a directory, I doubt you want this option.

7. I kept the fields with their default values. (Cache and suffix.)

8. Save your module and see how it looks.

Now, the part where I got confused is that there is a News Feed component, but I couldn't find how to activate it. It has the ability to add feeds as well. I was thinking there was a corresponding module, but I don't see one. Either that or I deleted it.

Now you know as much as I do on this ;-)

Sorry, but it looks like I'm on a newer version as I'm suing 4.5.1a. Hopefully, someone can pitch in whose added a feed with your version.
