RSS feed question

Post by bigone5500 » Sun Mar 31, 2013 10:27 pm

I want to add a link to the front page which when clicked, will display a weather map on weather.com. I can get an RSS feed link but am unsure on how to implement it on the joomla software. I have added it to the components menu under newsfeeds but when I add the feed to a menu on the front page, I get an error when it is clicked.

You've got several issues here. If you want to directly to an RSS feed, use the Newsfeed component
and have the menu link to that added RSS feed.

If you want to embed an RSS and pull an image of the RSS into content or a specific location,
then look at something link Ultimate Feed Display. You can have 1 or several feeds appear in
a variety of layout options.
