    Is it possible to pull an RSS feed from an external site for displaying post titles/dates/etc on my site?

    I combed through the search results for RSS, but the one topic I could find that might have been some help ended with “I am having problems so moderator please email me to discuss” and had no solution posted.

    I also search for RSS in the user guide. All of the RSS looked like how to use your own site’s RSS features and tags. I just want to show data from other feeds.

    Thanks.

    hi charlie

    if you want to display the feed, you can use the integrated magpie-rss-phraser-plugin (there is a short description in the docs)

    or if you want to import the feed to as weblog-entries, you can use FeedGrab-Plugin (Docs)

    The magpie plugin looks like it should work nicely. Thanks for the help and I will come back if I run into any problems.

    Is there a way to mark the thread “solved” somewhere?

    No way for users to mark threads solved, no.  You’re fine, though.  Thanks! =)
