1. Vertical Stacked (Default and Recommended)
2. Vertical (No stacking of feeds)
3. Horizontal
In latest version (1.1), you can also control the CSS to some extent from module and number of feeds has been made configurable from module settings.
If you are using the module in left, right or similar position then use any of the vertical positions. In wide positions like header positions, you may want to try the horizontal position.
Tip: Works and looks best when used within full width article using loadposition directive.
I like this mod very much. I also would like to add to the number of feeds. I have poked around in gajaxfeeds.php and mod_gajaxfeeds.css, and was able to add a fourth feed, but all I ended up getting displayed was a duplicate feed from the original 3 despite the info in the mod parameters. If someone has a good howto on this it would be much appreciated
Nice looking... very functional... but configuration is very restricted. You cannot change many things without editing the module.
SAlexson could you send this code for making more RSS channels ?? Three is a little to small... I cannot read the code from your review :) Anybody knows the code for increasing the number of RSS channels? I need 10 and even more....
Is there any documentation for editing the module?

I was able to reroute the js file and change the number of articles to retrieve from a feed but what I'm wondering now is how to change the size/ammount of words of that article to be displayed while its in the spot light.
Also would love an update to support images from the feed.

This mod is perfect! It adds a nice news display along the top of my site.
I would like to respond to benaam's review concerning a way to change the number of articles retrieved for each feed.
You don't actually need to get a local copy of the js file from Google. You can modify the module code to make this configurable.
Simply...
In mod_gajaxfeeds.xml:
After line 45, add:
In gajaxfeeds.htm:
After line 63, add:
numResults : get('numResults'); ?>
With these 2 simply changes, the number are articles is now configurable through the module.
Hope this helps anyone else that may want to do this.
As I said before, great mod!

Tried loads of RSS feeds and some had errors some didn't work. This one did. Easy to install, contained working feeds that only needed editing.
Best of the bunch with no problems. Yes it has restrictions and this meant it had to be in a bottom position. Linked the 3 alternative feed sites and it worked flawlessly.

This is a must for any site - just took around an hour to install and get it working on a live site.
keep up the good work.

I love the way this just fit into my site. No mess, no fuss.
I would however like to be able to duplicate the module and have more than one instance of this running on my site, however, when I duplicate it, only the last enabled module displays.
Brilliant extension. Thank you!

Very nice , looks simple and good (more attractive than normal feed layout)
Can I get the code for 10 feeds?
(or can you tell me how to vary the number?, I want 5 and 10 feeds as standard) (also can I vary number of articles in the feed?)

Thanks for your feedback. The module make use of Google API for displaying the feeds and you need to download a local copy of JavaScripts to change the number of articled shown in each feed. Default is 4 [GFdynamicFeedControl.DEFAULT_NUM_RESULTS = 4;]
As for changing the number of feeds, it can be done in gajaxfeeds.htm file of the module. You need to add code for feeds if you want to add more feeds. You just need to copy paste the code.
I'm very happy with this - I've customised it to allow for up to 10 feeds - if you want a copy - just contact me
This is a great addition to a joomla website. A great way to display RSS news on your website. I was up and running in less than 5 minutes after installing this. Great job!
