User Guide
[MC] News Aggregator pulls articles from a configured set of RSS/Atom feeds, deduplicates them by title similarity, applies admin-defined keyword filters, and surfaces the result on a public news page, in a global ticker, and via a homepage widget. Sources, items, and filters each have their own AdminCP surface.
This guide covers installation, the concepts (sources, items, filters, ticker), every option, the AdminCP CRUD surfaces, the single user permission, and an alphabetical reference.
