Really appreciate how easy this was to get live. Thanks guys. Great work!
This is my favorite RSS feed reading module... The main reason: It is basic, and there is no css that needs changing to make it fit right into your website.
There was only one issue, all the links open in the parent window, and not in a new window, sending your visitors away for your site.
I have modified the template to open all links in a new window, and you can download the complete, repackaged module

not being able to assign a module suffix limits its use for me, which is a shame as MagpieRSS is the PHP include I use when I'm hand-coding sites. Once that's sorted (and the module makes it out of beta), it should pretty much do the business as a good simple solution to presenting RSS feeds.
I just spent several hours trying many different modules and components to display an RSS feed on my site. After the update to 1.5.9 and a move of my site the mod_feed module stopped working on some feeds. Specifically feeds where the url ended in xml. I installed this module and all is working as hoped for. Good bye mod_feed... Hello MagpieRSS.
First tried Slick RSS but it gave a lot of errors on my Joomla 1.5 install. Then tried MagPieRSS and it worked great. The only problem was that the feature to show the time did not work and resulted in a code error. Highly recommended.
A very simple module that works well. Displays the title (and optionally date) of the first x number of items in an RSS feed in a module position. Caches the feed for performance reasons.
If you're looking for no nonsense straightforward RSS feed in a module position functionality, look no further.
