Using a News Feed with Joomla and Mambo

It’s easy to add a newsfeed to a Mambo or Joomla website. The normal place for them is on the right hand column of a 3 column layout. In this example we’re doing just that.

1. To get started login to the admin panel
2. Click on Modules, then Site Modules and you’ll get a list of all the modules you have installed.
3. Click on the New button – no need to select a type or copy an existing module, New will do it all.
4. Fill in the new screen with the required information.

   Leave off anything that doesn’t make sense – all the necessary fields are shown in the screen shot – except the cache option – I recommend you turn that on.
5. Save and check your site
