What this does is let you put content from a syndicated feed in your MT Template. You need the feed plugin, and then you'll have to have some way of rebuilding the template occassionally so the content updates. The MT-Rebuild.pl plugin is perfect for this. I have mine set up to update every half hour.
First, you'll need the plugin. http://www.timaoutloud.org/code/mt/index.html#mt-rssfeed. The zip file will include the feed plugin and also the rebuild plugin.
Follow the directions in the package. All you really need to do (if you've got all the correct modules installed on your hosts server) is the following:
1. Go to your MT directory and make a dir called "db".
2. Go to MT/extlib/xml and make a dir called "RSS". Put LP.pm there.
3. Put the .pl files in your plugins folder (mt-rssfeed.pl and mtlist.pl).
4. Put mt-rebuild.pl into your main MT directory NOT the plugin folder.
Configure the display according to the directions. You need a template module (mine's called "feedlist") containing the urls of each feed, one per line. Then you need an include with the mtfeed code.
<MTListLoop name="feeds">
<MTRSSFeed>
<$MTRSSFeedTitle$><br/>
<ul><MTRSSFeedItems lastn="5">
<li><a href="<$MTRSSFeedItemLink$>"><$MTRSSFeedItemTitle$></a></li>
</MTRSSFeedItems></ul>
</MTRSSFeed>
</MTListLoop>
Then, you need to configure mt-rebuild.pl to rebuild the page an intervals during the day. Don't do it too often or you'll piss your host off.
