    I’m asking about http://scoopex1988.org . The goal is to let visitors insert something like the news listing in top right on that page, but with full article content also, on their news site. But I don’t want icons to appear in the black rounded rectangle in the middle of the page. Possible with a Ditto call?

    [Edit: found the Basic RSS Howto. Any tips to go from that to what I want is appreciated, will try to implement it now.]

    Edit 2:
    Created the rss_item chunk, paste.

    Header link:
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="[(site_name)] RSS feed" href="[~1~]">


    Ditto call:
    [[Ditto? &parents=`1` &truncate=`0` &format=`rss` &summarize=`20` &total=`20` &showInMenuOnly=`1` &depth=`0` &tpl=`rss_item`]]


    Where `1` and ~1~ is the id of my news frontpage.

    Now I get urls as plain text to posts from 2007 in the sidebar, a lot of junk. What is wrong?

    Feel free to tell me "that’s not how it works" etc, I’m an RSS newbie. smiley

      Removed the Ditto call for now, pending answer. Just lemme know and I’ll add it back...

        So this mass of links as text that I saw should be put in a separate document, and linked to via an RSS button? Will try that.

          http://scoopex1988.org/scoopex-news-rss-feed.html seems to work, however it lists all of the folders instead of just the newsfolder (id 1).

          This is my call.

          [[Ditto? &parents=`1` &format=`rss` &summarize=`20` &total=`20` &showInMenuOnly=`1` &depth=`0` &tpl=`rss_item`]]

          I’m using the blank template, since using my site template caused errors when <?xml was put in the post div.

          How do I limit the folders I want to use?

          Edit: The error was in my Ditto call. Sorry to bother you smiley Now to make it include the main text. Wish that all newsposter were so good as to write an enticing intro!

          The working ditto call was
          [[Ditto? &truncate=`0` &hideFolders=`1` &parents=`1` &format=`rss` &summarize=`20` &total=`20` &tpl=`rss_item`]]
          , where 1 is the id of my News folder.
