Usage notes

feedId is the id of the feed set up at Settings > External Feeds (or tiki-admin_rssmodules.php ), max is the number of shown entries, date and author (optional) are added if set to 1 , and hidden if set to 0 , desc is 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:

Copy to clipboard

{rss id="1" max="3" date="1" author="0" desc="1"}

Interactive Translations: Collaborative i18n Tiki Site – The Second Iteration

Wed 10 Sep, 2025

Fourteen years ago, the Tiki community launched something bold: an interactive translation system that allowed contributors to translate the Tiki interface directly in context.
