Feeds aggregator

    Hi
    In Drupal there’s a nice feature called the aggregator, but Drupal is not for now, this is WP time.
    WHat I’d like to have is a Page on the front page with rss feeds. A sort of news aggregator that would allow readers to get it all in one.

    My understanding of the rss widget is that I have to put one per feed.
    But I want something like “Latest news in the field” with 10 or more feeds, displayed on the same page organized /source. A sort of rss reader.
    How could I do that?

    Thanks

    Take a look at this article
    https://www.pvmgarage.com/en/2009/07/how-to-realize-a-news-aggregator-using-simple-in-an-adaptive-layout/

    Simplepie is built into WordPress. Documentation here

    Hi thanks but…I have no idea how to do it.
    The tutorial builts a whole new page, I’d like the aggregator to be in one of my WP site page, a regular page.
    Then, I’ve read some of SImplePie documentation (spent one hour on it) and it says
    “If you don’t know PHP, or are not willing to learn PHP, SimplePie (the core API library) is NOT the right solution for you. “
    I don’t know php and have no time to learn it.

    How then? Because I really need this to happen…
    Thanks

    Try a Google search for “WordPress feed aggregator plugin”

    I came up with a bunch of them. You’ll have to sort through and see which do what you are after.

    Hi thanks
    That’s exactly what I did and ended up installing Feedwordpress.
    Major issue, it won’t display posts on a page but as “posts” automatically created.
    That’s a bit of a problem…
    I’ll keep on looking.

    If you can get all those posts to assign themselves to one category, you could display the category page, with the posts in summarized form, rather than the individual posts pages, as your aggregate page. Or you can create a custom page template

    and create your own summary query of all the posts, ordered as you want using a query_posts

    Yeah I had applied a categories to those posts indeed, but hadn’t thought about th ecustomization of the page!
    I’ll look into it!Thanks

    The solution of having feeds coming up as posts is not a satisfying one after all.

    Posts are diplayed in archives, some of the feeds date back to 2006, and my blog now has 900 something posts…Useless.

    I need a feed aggregator that
    display all feed on one page
    offer a search box
    organizes feeds into categories that can searchable
    Is there such a tool out there?
    Or do I have have to build it? (have it built as I wouldn’t know how!)
    A great tool is libworm.com, this is my model.
