Thank you for this. I got feeds to work in category blocks under the main scoop block.

If I could ask 2 questions.

When you wrote this part "Now click on the "edit" link, and you will now notice that the Drigg RSS feeder drop down menu is functional. Click it and you'll get a whole new form. This form contains:" -- I couldn't actually find the drop down menu you spoke of. Is that the edit link in Administer » Content management > List? Am I missing something?

Also, any idea what the best way to integrate the rss stories with the default scoops? I assume they would default to time created, no matter what source.

Missed steps?

Hi,

Did you complete these steps?

* Go to Admin>Build>Modules
* Enable the Drupal module News Aggregator.
* Enable the Drigg RSS Feed Importer. <--- Especially this!

Forgot to mention...

You can redo the above steps and add as many new feeds as you wish... ;)

Is my Drigg version too old?

I guess it is...I don't see the rss importer. I enabled the "News Aggregator" but without the RSS importer I guess missing a lot. Looks like I need Drigg released 1.15.

Correct

Hi,

Absolutey. you really need to upgrade.

I am also just about to release a new version of Drigg, with very important features.
I'd wait 1 day or so :-D
