I test a lot of other rss readers and I can only say, this is the best one for me, versatile, modern and quick to deploy. Congratulations for the developers.

Nice to see there is a new Version of Ajax Rss Reader.

The ability for Users to integrate their personal rss feeds is very neat!

But the feeds are not saved to the User Accounts. If I am logged in and ad a feed, then logout and logging in again, I only see the default RSS Feeds. Not the ones I added.

It would be genius if the feeds and position of feeds would be saved in the Database relatet to the User! So every user has his own, personal newsreader.

Did I miss something? Hope there will be an update with this feature.

Best Regards

Owner's reply:
Turn on cookies in the module setup. It will save the last state of all added feeds and positions. I will later make it a component for the user db ability but time is short these days.

I like this extension, is very usefull for mantaining a website up to date without much work.

The problem is that it doesn't show right spanish characters (UTF-8). I tried the lastrss.php fix, described in one comment before, but I didn't found this file.

¿Can you help me to get this module working in Spanish?

Good work anyway! I recommend it (at least for English Feeds)!

Owner's reply:
Could you go to http://www.stroz.us/php and post in the forums a spanish rss feed that doesnt work for testing. I posted 2.2.8 that works on all languages I have tested so far.

bug:not good support for Special characters and utf-8
suggestion 1: do not limit in rss links
suggestion 2: include an option that dont group by rss link and the new posts show on top

I'd love to use it but it still has some problem with special characters.
Css-xhtml validation would make the ext excellent.
Please keep on

Owner's reply:
Are you on 2.2.7?

I thought i had the special chars fixed in 2.2.7. Everytime I fix one language, another seems to break. I'll post a release soon that will hopefully fix the special characters.

Very clean work, nice job on this mod. Clear code that is easy to maintain. Looking forward to pop-ups :)
Thanks to the developer.

This module is really really cool. It helps me a lot to show news with rss but one thing is that I can't see alt message box with I put over the news. In the demo, when I put my mouse over the news, I can see the news description. Why I can't see it in my program? anyway, that is ur excellent work!!!

The only difficulty I had getting this to install and run was finding enought me to put in the RSS feed URLs! it's WAY VERY COOL, and an incredible method of displaying fresh constantly-updating news within the Joomla paradigm!
Kudos to the developer Marc Stroz - this module totally rocks!

I tried the current "stable" version of this module, but it didn't work properly, and I was not terribly interested in opening up my site with a allow_url_fopen.

I contacted Marc and he promptly got back to me and suggested I try the v.2 beta. After an initial instal issue, I got the module working properly. I'd recommend trying this out, and if you have issues, give Marc and email. I'm sure he'll reply back more quickly than you expect.

The module is not everything that I want, however it is a great sample of how RSS and Ajax can go together. The module is also written with very clean code which allows for easy modifications of the core functions. I wrote a quick modification that changes it from using fopen to using curl to get the RSS feed from the server, since my server configuration does not allow for fopen. I also plan to extend the module to add the RSS descriptions. You can see the module at work here:

Thanks for writing this module!

It worked for me, but i want more powerful stuff, like ability to view description inline or in pop-up

My friend Murat found a wonderful language fix.

I think It is working without iconv.

Put this code at the top of lastRSS.php


ISO-8859-9 is for Turkish. Chabge it with your language charset.

I hope it will work also for your language.

Also change find and change $default_cp
var $default_cp = 'ISO-8859-9'

Upload your new lastRSS.php

It is all.

If you are trying to read in non english languages and getting garbled text, check your PHP configuration and ensure

ICONV is enabled.

If it isnt Enable it.

To see results immediately you need to delete any files in your modules/cache directory that start with rsscache_ and then refresh your page. It should parse them properly after that. If not post in the Discussions area so we can work it out.

Hi, I like this module!! But... I don't want to put module in home page.
I want that when I push news links, opens a new page with rss...
similar at your page...


please can you help me?
