As seems to be a problem with vB 3.5 RC3 or so and above, the external data handler will only generate a feed with the amount of entries in the past x hours.
This causes a number of huge problems for sites that use the rss capabilities for headlines on their sites.
The mod request is as follows:
Make a modification so that in the admincp > external data handler there is an option to override the hours setting, and override it with a number of posts option. The administrator could then choose x number of headlines, and external.php will create an rss feed with x number of headlines.
edit: Also an option for an amount of the post to syndicate, such as 10%, 50% of the post, or by number of words (spaces) so that the option to not reproduce the entire article is there.
