I have a question I could use some help with. I'm trying to figure out how to create a template override for com_newsfeeds. Out of the box, Joomla doesn't display the full text of an rss stream. I'm trying to stream in wordpress blog from one of my affiliates into my website. However when I use com_newsfeeds to display the blog feed I just get: Entry title link, short description, read more link to external website. Same goes if I use the feed module. I further investigated the com_newsfeeds template files and it appears it only displays that. I didn't see any code in there or in any of the other php files for the extension that actually grabs the full text entry to display. However in the com_newsfeeds options in 1.7 there is an option to enable "Feed Content = yes." Enabling it has no effect! Did they forget something here?
I'm trying to avoid 3rd party extensions to keep my site lean. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
