I used this extension a few months ago on a commercial site and it is brilliant for taking your articles creating an rss feed that I then would send to the companies Facebook account and then a built in Facebook app would send the news updates to their twitter account! PERFECT!
The client only had to then add a news article to their site and it would update their site, rss, Facebook and twitter accounts in one hit!
That site was on Joomla 1.5............ unfortunately the new site I a, building for our company is in Joomla 1.6 and was soooooooo disappointed to find out this isn't compatible.
The sooner you make a 1.6 version the better as I cannot emphasize enough how good and how useful this extension is.
Unfortunately there don't appear to be any other free 1.6 compatible extensions available that do this job. I'm stuck really... there's certainly a niche in the directory here!

This was the first non-commercial RSS syndicator I tried but it did the job perfectly.
I wanted an RSS feed for just my site's news articles (which aren't shown on the frontpage) and this was exactly what I needed.
Although I couldn't easily locate any install/setup instructions, I found that I didn't need them.
unzip the install file, upload the com_ and mod_ zip files using Joomla and then go to Components in Joomla to configure the feed.
I then used the module to publish a RSS feed icon so my users could find the feed.

This extension is easily configurable and works exactly as purported. At first, I couldn't get the feed to render properly but a quick look in the ninjaforge forums clued me in to the need to disable sh404SEF for this extension.
I tried out several RSS syndication modules. Ninja RSS Syndicator powers my site now. It is the best one I have tried.
I was looking for an extension that would help me provide to my site visitors a flexible RSS subscription tool. Ninja RSS does exactly what I expected, and it comes with a huge number of parameters to set.
I like especially the build-in "button maker" where you can create your own RSS button (changing text and colours) without even leaving your back-end.
Initially I had a problem with defining what contents would appear in the feed. Some closer look at the settings, and two minutes of searching in the Ninja RSS help forum solved my problems.
Attention: If you are fiddling with your settings and you do not see a change in your browser window, set the "cache time" from 3600 seconds (default) to 0 or 1 second, this will help. At least in my case it solved the issue.
I give it four stars here (not five) because with some help-section the component and module would be even better.

When i decided to add rss syndication to my website i spent several hours checking out all the different options in the JED. This is extension stood out from the rest. I use it with feedmyinbox to keep my mailing list up to date everytime new content is posted. It would be awesome to see more integration with other modules such as phoca download, but other than that i haven't had any problems with this extension, nor could i find anything negative to say about it.
Owner's reply
Thanks for the kind words.
The next major version of Ninja RSS (2.0) will have support for various plugins, including different data sources, so we will start adding different extensions depending on demand.
I've installed this extension two days ago... Have not much time so I incorrectly set one setting... I asked in developer's forum and got almost an instant answer.
Ninja RSS Syndicator is a superb extension that works like a charm, and support is excellent.
Great job NinjaForge! Thank you for share it with the community.

These people are outstanding!
After crying on their forum about an issue few had witnessed I immediately got two mates responding with me. Of course issue was settled in about 48h.
Again, what can I say? Better than great, perhaps?

I used the this component as well as the additional sef404 plugin and it worked perfectly. There was an issue at the start but the Ninja support team quickly helped me locate the problem, which happened to be caused by another third-party component. Easy to install and configure for RSS feed for any part of your site.
Easy installation, easy setup another great component. Thank you very much for making it available.
