  • NewsFeed - Add a Box that show latest article from a RSS url

This is a very simple extension, but i think could be useful for someone. With this box u can retrieve latest article from a valid RSS url, directly into your Index page.

Maybe could be used to show latest article from your blog or main website.

I've discovered that Flarum does not have an extension to create a feed of our forum, but https://rss.app/ actually can generate a rss feed even for a specific tag (for example if u wanna show latest thread of a specific section).

      i've recently read on github that someone ask if is possible to add mutltiple rss feed url supports.

      forgot to mention that this extension actually SUPPORTS multiple feed url, simply u need to insert multiple urls separated by comma, but remember that actual settings fetch 5 element from EACH url...

      so if u add 2 url, results is that u have 10 elements displayed, that need a css customization, or it will look like this example (here u can see 2 rss url togheter):

      this post is just to clarify that this extension actually support mutiple rss url

      after few try i think this depends from your rss feed, if i generate your rss feed with another tool, it works

      Are you able to make this compatible with @askvortsov's categories extension please? At the moment this sadly does not show on the categories page.

      Thanks!
