Modul RSS Newsfeed Reader released

The RSS Newsfeed Reader comes as a Modul Update and provides a Frontend logic to show a simple named List of all configured RSS Feeds to the End-User.
If it will be configured for a Menu, it is shown instead of the Pages Content.

The End-User can choose one of the Feeds and will see the parsed Output. Feeds will be cached because of performance issues. The Look of the rendered News could be changed by editing the Modul.

Configuration is provided via an sectioned INI File. Sections are used as Headings, the keys are used as Name. Values are the URLs of the Newsfeed.

A config file could look like this:
