feedIdis the id of the feed set up at Settings > External Feeds (ortiki-admin_rssmodules.php),maxis the number of shown entries,dateandauthor(optional) are added if set to1, and hidden if set to0,descis a short description of the current rss item (optional).
You can also combine feeds by indicating 1:2 , or 1:2:3 to add feeds together. Note, however, that if you are combining feeds, "show publish date" must be checked in the Feeds module settings, in order to allow this plugin to sort the combined feeds.
Examples
Let's say you wish to display the list of last 3 items of a feed with the Id of 1 inside a Wiki page. Simply include this in your page, with date, but no author:
{rss id="1" max="3" date="1" author="0" desc="1"}
