How can I show the latest News Headlines on the front page. I have the news aggregator feeds but do not know how to get a select group of feed items eg. the latest headlines from the feeds to the front page. The agg cats are in place and I have taxonomy for the navigation and since the agg cats and the taxonomy cats are different how do I tag each feed item to an taxonomy cat?
Hope I am clear as I am a bit hazy on how to proceed with this.
Comments
Find the block for the aggregator content
in
yoursitename.123/index.php?q=admin/block
And choose "content" for the appropiate block you want to display.
Then
<front>in block "configure" to only show it on the front page.
You can associate tags and taxonomy by using the ´path module´ in your modules section. But beware of google for suspecting you of trying to trick it for more traffic.
I would add the "google sitemap module" to your installation to be sure that your site is not blacklisted by mistake.
That is not exactly
what I need perhaps, I wasn't clear enough I need to take all the aggregated feeds take what is the Latest News and have it appear on the front page. I don't want visitors to be able to see all the feeds just a selected feed taken from all the feeds.
exactly what you can do
Just take the block of the selected feed and have it appear on the front page as content.
Go in to block configuration and enable it.
And then let it only be shown on the front page by using
<front>in ´´configure´´ block and tick off the ´´Show on only the listed pages´´That does it. :)
That is way to easy
I thought I would have to write some code in order to force the feed to the front page. I shall follow your directions and report back. Thanks mucho amigo
