Description

I just filed a bug report as well, believing this is an issue which can be addressed in either the documentation or the user interface. But if you'd be so kind as to clue me in how to do this, I'd be willing to hone some copy for inclusion in the user interface to point the uninitiated in the right direction.

I have found no documentation of the proces for adding rss or atom feeds to the database so the leech module can do its thing. Nothing in the README gives a clue. Nothing I can discern in the user interface seems willing to give up the secret. I've been testing this on both 4.7 and 5.1 installations and running into exactly the same issues. The install proceeds as described in the README, but then I get it installed and don't know what to do with it expect check its empty results page or review its configuration again.

Hi hesco,

Once you've installed leech and enabled it for a certain node type (like described in the README) create a node of this type - you'll find a text field on the node edit form that allows you to copy in a feed URL.

I agree - the readme is very confusing. would be great if someone could do a better walk through!
