Vero Pepperrell Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi! What's the best way to add an RSS feed block to a forum module? The forum is https://www.alfredforum.com which is our Alfred users' community. I'd love to add in a block above the forum sections, where I can insert the RSS feed for our blog, allowing users to see a summary of the latest blog post or two (which highlights new features, shares tutorials, etc) We're using the cloud-hosted version of IPBoard, if that makes any difference to what functionality is available to us. Thanks in advance Vero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Vero The pages app has a rss feed block. Just create a new block within your ACP => Pages => Blocks, create a new block and choose Plugin => RSS Import. Once you have created this, go back to your frontend to the forums application and add this block via the Sidebar Block Manager => Pages => Custom Block Option btw, thx for alfred. I'm a huge alfred app and alfred remote fan ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
