Testdrive: Remote Content module
No new release yet, but just a little update to inform you all what's currently going on.
The next version will contain a new Remote Content module. Basically this is just an RSS aggregator that displays syndicated content.
I tried to make it as friendly as possible for both content suppliers and Cuyahoga users. The syndicated content is cached for a configurable amount of time and when it expires, the content is refreshed in background threads (you can turn this off, btw), so there will be no noticable delay for end users when Cuyahoga is refreshing a feed.
You can also combine multiple feeds in one display. This is particulary useful for a site like this one. For example, you can create one single list on the homepage that contains the most recent content from different parts of the site that have their content syndicated.
The module is running on this site now for a little testdrive. Watch the Active topics section on the left. It consumes the active topics feed of the forum. There is also a well hidden little surprise for registered users that shows a little more possibilities of the module :).
