I wouldn't recommend this component to anybody. The description says something and its capability is different. With this component, lot of articles will be added from other rss feed sites. Also, if you create a menu link, it is not working.

Simply...not worth the money.
Owner's reply

"Also, if you create a menu link, it is not working. "

Because this component does not have a front-end.

The extension does everything as advertised. It looks sharp and has a ton of configuration options.

Even better than that is the support offered. Response time is top notch and they are willing to go the extra mile.

Highly Recommend.

I've been looking for just this functionality for a long time. And with immediate help from Nenad setting up the cron task and solving one other small problem (of my doing), it does just what it says. I couldn't ask for more.

RSS2Content is a well built system with fantastic support. I had some formatting issues with using it in conjunction with AdminPraise2, but RSS2Content.com's staff was very helpful. I'm looking forward to continued development on their filter functions. Great company to do business with.

We use this for two of our projects, one has over 200 feeds. It performs well. For small scale implementation, this is excellent. But for large implemetation, it needs to improve on the followings:-

- admin navigation in particular add/remove links
- report, it is not easy to troubleshoot at the moment. log must be available for success or failure per link
- twitter per link or group rather than global
- add the cron index.php automatically rather than reliable on the use to configure
- proper documentation

i cant wait for the next release.

It is an excellent component with excellent support team. This component has all features to make an automate website. Price is good for this component.
RokBOX is an excellent feature and all other features are excellent. It's easy for configuring, if you don't know knowledge with Joomla, support team will make all configuration and installations for you.

Thanks for this great component!

This extension is exactly what i was looking for. I have been using it for a couple months now and it has been great. I had an issue getting the cron job to work but had it set up after a quick response from the developer.

Well worth the spend if you're looking to feed article content via RSS.

I purchased RSS2Content last November to automate our site, I had tried some other RSS automatic aggregation tools, even paid versions, that would not allow for a RokBox "overlay" window to display the article. Also, others would not allow article images into my article posts. However, RSS2Content had everything I was looking for, including the photo management, RokBox and several other options! The cron setup is easy, even for a faily green "techie wannabe" such as myself. Yet even if you are not able to handle it yourself, the guys at RSS2Content will respond very quickly to your request for help. I recently had an issue that needed some tech assistance due to a server issue, not RSS2Content. The RSS2Content customer service was extremely professional and helpful, and they solved my problem very quickly!

I could not be happier with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking to add content to their sites.

I saw & tried almost every available plugin for Joomla on this subject.

All I can tell you this one is not only the BEST one, but support is amazing - those guys just wait for you to submit an issue to help you as fast & efficient they can.

I was really happy to see that they solve every issue that i have with their product...

I'm already one day customer, but they treat me like i'm their customer all product life...

And one thing, guys keep doing good work, and i can't wait for version 2 of your product, you still have a lot of things to do to make this BEST product on the RSS market even better...

And if you continue like that, others will always look at your back - and try to make their product to look like yours...

I had unfortunately bought two of the other big RSS extensions before finding this one, and I was on the search because of a significant feature that wasn't mentioned on the other softwares' pages--the ability to truncate feeds. I wanted to have headlines and a few opening words from articles, but I had ethical qualms with posting other sites' entire feeds on my own.

RSS2Content gives you much more control over the look and content. You can choose how much of each element you want to add, and it has the added feature (lacking in the other extensions at this time of writing) of giving you control over the image sizes from the feeds. That was a big issue because overnight a feed would come down with giant pictures that ruined the layout of the website. R2C took care of that so that I didn't have to do so much babysitting on the incoming feed traffic.

I should also note that the programmers are a passionate scrappy bunch, in that they are constantly developing and improving the code based on customer feedback, and they are prompt and professional in their support. Neshko spent a few days on my server personally troubleshooting and fixing a minor issue I had with my version.

Installation was also easy.

RSS2Content is a very good component. It has a lot of features, that really make content from feeds stand out. The people are very helpful as well. The get back to me in a reasonable time frame. If you have a customization request they will try to do their best to accommodate your needs. This is my experience with them and I am glad I took the chance on them.

I even had request for small changes to the component, and stuff responded fast and delivered my custom version without extra fee.

Download images work fantastic with auto scale image to desired dimension....implementation of rokslideshow is outstanding.

I use this component on my 5 aggregator plus 3 informational sites and, now i cant imagine my online business without rss2content.
Great value for money. Saves you a lot of time. Works fantastic with sh404SEF.

I would certainly recommend this component to every Joomla user.

Outstanding work!

I have to say that this script is amazing... I just wish that I could find quality RSS feeds to do this program any justice.
Support is really great and fast... Also if you need little tweaks done to the program they will do it for you.
