I am not a programmer and I am trying to start a site that will rely on the ability to categorize and display information from a variety of feed sources. I started off using the core Feed Aggregator but ran into some problems with feed display. After some research I have come to the conclusion that the combination of Feed Api, CCK, Feed Element Mapper and Views will be the best combination of modules for what we are trying to achieve.

After installing the Drupal Feed Api module (http://drupal.org/project/feedapi) and the required parser and processor (simple pie and Feed Api node), feed items are not being displayed. The installation seems to be working fine until it comes to the display of feeds. I have followed all the steps in the read me (http://aggregation.novaak.net/documentation/?q=api/file/README.txt/FeedAPI) and can not figure what is holding back the display of feed items?

Does anybody have any input into a step that I am missing?

Would news page combine with aggregator to satisfy your requirements? I tried this, it creates pages which display a list of news item from the feed. I have also had some success with using feedapi to produce announcements (requires announcements module)'

Do you see the items if you visit admin/content/node?
Did you manually refresh the feeds or do you use cron?
