Displaying external RSS Feeds On Wordpress

Hi

I'm looking to display a few feeds from other blogs onto another wordpress blog.

Looked in the plugin directory and drew a blank.

I did find the KQF RSS feeder, which would do everthing I want.
Only problem is, once installed it mashes up my dashboard.
Has anyone else had any experence with this plugin, or can perhaps suggest any other that will do the job.

Thanks
Mike

Mike, I use rawlinson - us Blog Archive feedList Plugin for this purpose on a few WordPress sites of mine. You can use the plugin as-is for sidebars or anything outside the loop. If you're going to use the feeds within a post then install Priyadi’s Place Blog Archive Wordpress PHP Exec Plugin as well and put the code <phpcode> </phpcode> around your feed code.

Hope that's of some use to you.

Thanks Dan, will take alook.

I'm really looking to display the feeds on pages.. not in a sidebar.
Can it do this?

Yes, no problems Mike.

Code below - paste into html mode and not the WP wysiwyg editor when creating your page, change 'mysite[dot]com/feed' to whatever the feed is for the site you want to pull the feed from.

Make sure both those plugins are active first.

Alter the variables as you see fit: ie, "num_items"=>15, could be 5 or 10 etc...

<!--- Put your page text/blurb in here as usual Mike --->
<phpcode>

<ul>
		<?php 
			feedList(array("rss_feed_url"=>"http://mysite.com/feed",
							"num_items"=>15,
							"show_description"=>true,
							"random"=>false,
							"sort"=>"none",
							"new_window"=>true,
							"show_date"=>true,
                                                        "suppress_link"=>false
					)
			); 
		?>
		</ul>

</phpcode>
