Function and Purpose
The “Newsfeeds” component acts as a feed aggregator. It stores the URLs of external RSS or Atom feeds, fetches them regularly, and presents the entries as newsfeed items in the frontend.
Use Cases
- News portals: Embed news from partner sites.
- Topic-specific feeds: Display current blog posts or industry trends.
- Calendars and events: Use feeds to show event dates.
Important Notes
- Installation: The Newsfeeds component is not installed by default in Joomla 4+, but can be added from the Joomla Extensions Directory.
- Update interval: Decide how often feeds should be fetched.
- License and copyright: Make sure embedding external content is permitted.
