Review:
This mod allows VB4 owners to easily add an Rssfeed from you admincp where it has the option to target cms as a destination of the feeds. This mod is build and tested on 4.1.5 so it should work on this version or any versions afterwards. But it is not supported for any version after4.1.8.
I build this mod because a lot of people where asking for it in several post here and there.
I tried my best to avoid file replacing in your forum so you will have no trouble when upgrading for newer vbulletin version so no worries.

This not related to the mod itself but to answer you question: that depends on how much information you want. More feeds more info. Also if you use for example
PHP Code:
{feed:description}
you will get short description of the feeds it self
But if you used
Data Base error in the Admin CP when clicking on:
RSS Feed for CMS Manager:

And yes I had uploaded every file in the Upload folder to the correct place/places.
Awaiting update as well looking forward to this mod =)
Ok done
Please try it now and let me know how it goes
If you uploaded the files before no need to upload it again the changes only in the produc xml installation file. So just uninstall the old product and install the new one.
