Module to display RSS feeds published by other sites. It uses Google AJAX technology for reading RSS feeds from up to 10 different sources. It allows you to view feeds with different transition mode: block, fading, sliding (2 modes), continuous list. It is completely customizable via configuration options and CSS.
Currently this module supports:
* Collection of feed from up to 10 different sources, using Google AJAX technology (requires a Google API key)
* Feeds rended within a configurable height module with five different transition effects: block scroll, fading of the first feed, constant speed scroll, decreasing speed scroll (smooth effect), non-stop scroll
* Multi-instance (several module instances on the same web page)
Configurable features:
* Module suffix
* Google API Key
* Number of feeds/page to display
* Module height (pixels)
* Transition effect
* Duration of the transition effect
* Display time for each feed
* Enable/disable the title display (source name)
* Enable/disable the feed date display (if available)
* For a maximum of 10 feed sources: source name, url, number of feeds to show

I was looking for something simple and useful, and this module does its work very well.
But, I have one doubt, when I place the blog's URL, this module is showing old messages instead of showing the current month. If someone can help, I appreciate. Thanks

After searching through various rss readers, this one was the best I could find.
It has several options and works like a charm!
Kudos to the developer!!!

This module so much help me with the interface, setting and anything worked very good.
For me is only one thing, how to change date format to my country format. That wasn't in module setting.

I am somewhat of a beginner and was able to install this easily. It does exactly what it was supposed to and I did not run into any conflicts. I tried several other modules, but they either didn't work with my site, or didn't do what I wanted them to do. Most of the ones that worked well only allowed for one feed. The ability to include up to 10 feeds is a real plus. I can't speak to the technical support on this because I haven't needed it. I wouldn't mind a few more style options, but for a free module it's pretty well-stocked.
Installed no problems. Very straight-forward, worked with my off-the-shelf YOO theme with no problems. I used this to replaced Slick RSS when I upgraded to 1.6. Recommended.
Thanks Pagit for this handy RSS feed module. The install and setup was a quick and easy. Tried a few rss feeds and they role pretty fine. I figured out the last issue that I was having and was ready to type it in, but hey..... that's working now right before I start reviewing.
Thanks guys
Thanks guys
The best rss extension out there! Paolo is amazing and responsive as demonstrated by his email response to me ASAP regarding my concern about running two extensions. In the end, the module(s) installed and worked like magic on a very temperamental template.
Thank you for such a great free extension!

Very good module. Looks smart, easy to set up and worked seamlessly in my proxy crippled environment.
I used to take a feed from our main corporation site and add some technology feeds.
Only small issue I have is that it only allows one instance. If you add a second - the content only appears in one module. Would like to have different feeds on different pages.
Recommended to spruce up a lifeless page.

I do hope I can definitely release this new version very soon.
This is definitely the best RSS module I have been tested. 2 mins installation and JUST WORK BEAUTIFULLY!
Excellent module. Installed and up and running in under 5 minutes. Would have been quicker had I not played around with the setting before finalising it. Recommend this to anyone wanting to display an RSS feed on their site.
