I need the following functionality in FeedAPI Aggregator.

1. aggregate multiple feeds (over 30 different sources)
2. only output headlines, date and blog info/link (description, teasers, and full output should appear nowhere on the site although it would (obviously) be fine if teasers were an option that could be enabled.)
3. Preferably a simple configuration change or user interface check box or something simple to make this happen.

I am wanting to duplicate exactly what I currently have from feeddigest.com. You can see my site here:
http://www.unpluggedshop.com/node/310
http://www.unpluggedshop.com (feeds appear in a block on all pages except node/310)

I am very happy with the way the output from feed digest is on my site, I would just prefer to handle it internally, besides it seems like FeedAPI aggregator is 99% of the way there already.

Currently, I have the aggregated headlines displaying in a block and on a page. I would like to keep it that way.

I don't necessarily have a problem doing it with FeedAPI Node although I have no interest in storing the headlines past a month or two, but I don't want the descriptions or aggregated articles to appear on any public page.

The number of headlines to display ideally would be configurable and could have between 5 and 100.

I can offer a small bounty for this feature, but I can only mail a check to a US address. Depending on ease of use and timeliness (within a couple of weeks would be fantastic) US$50 -100.

Although this feature seems rather simple and obvious, I have spent days scouring the web and playing with Drupal feed aggregation options, and can't make anything work. I even spent a couple of days playing with Yahoo pipes to no avail.

I was able to do this fairly elegantly by writing a short php script using the core aggregator module.

I posted the code snippet in case anyone else wanders through here looking for the same thing. You can get it here:
