I initially liked the flexibility of this plugin while I was testing in my dev environment.
It does as advertised and scrolls articles from RSS reeds quite nicely.

Unfortunately the plugin added 19 validation errors in XHTML 1.0 which was a deal breaker for me.

It's brilliant - simple to use, and what's best it doesn't need a module to display it so you can use it in ALL your articles.

I have been looking around for the kind of functionality that this plugin offers. I tested other RSS readers; they are good too but lacked the flexibility that i wanted. Now i can create a menu system with different news channels RSS feeds on my website. Thanks a lot for the wonderful work...

Just found this J 1.5 version, and it's working perfect!
I've try to use the legacy one but it doesn't work.
Thanks for this great plugin!

I tried it on one of the blog sites I frequent and nothing displays. After looking at the code, it looks like the author is hooking into Joomla RSS XML API's which many not work with RSS 2.0?
Owner's reply

Joomla 1.5 is using the simplepie library. Any feed which displays OK through the Newsfeed component shall display OK with kl_rssfeed. Any feed encoding should work.
Are you sure you use kl_rssfeed as it should be? Please start a thread in http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=473 and state the url of the feed. I'll reply there.
