Add Automotive News and Articles To your Forums · **Released**: 11-30-2007

If you ever wanted to offer your users more content on your site then this is the mod for you. Your users can browse the titles they like to see and they'll keep coming back to your site because of the quality content.

This mod uses RSS feeds and while not a very technical mod, it's something that most webmasters are not taking advantage of.

In your CP click on Options, then External Data Provider
Make sure the following are checked.

Enable External Javascript Yes
Enable RSS Syndication Yes

On the left side of the cp nav scroll down to RSS Feeds and Add new RSS Feed

Title: Automotive News and Articles
URL of Feed: http://www.sromagazine.com/xml.php
Max Items to fetch: 30
Username: can be whatever you like.

Forum: You can select an existing forum or make a new one.

Just leave the templates default.

Scroll down to Save

After that you will start to see new articles appear on your site.
