RSS feeds

Hi,
Please can you let me know if there is a widget or some way of installing an rss feed within the site, looking to use the feed on one of the sections and can’t seem to find a way of doing it.
Don’t want to have to write additional code where control will be more limited.
Let me know, Thanks.

I think the way we did that on couple sites was using an RSS feed widget in custom sidebar, then placed that custom sidebar into a layout as a “widgetized sidebar” … if that makes sense. Some widgets have shortcodes, so there may be a content block that allows for shortcodes to render.

Hi thanks for that.

I tried putting the rss shortcode into an html code element and text element but neither rendered it, do you know what element would render a shortcode?

I could do it as a sidebar but i think the issue is getting it onto the main section of the site.

Any thoughts?

I think shortcodes may only work with certain types of content boxes — I think it will only work in either a pure content box (like a post box), or into a widget area; it was so long ago I don’t recall .. sorry … likely best to wait for somebody else to chime in who has done it recently… (doh).
