Thank you!

I got it working on a main page but it's centered in the middle like a sidebar.
How do I make this horizontal instead of shortened like a sidebar?

Sorry I asked the wrong question. What I meant to say is how do I take this same code and make it wider like so:

Could this in someway be provided as a drop-down menu in a 3rd navigation bar? or in the existing navigation bar?
For example:

Navigation Menu With Drop-Down RSS Feeds Like Firefox Toolbar

Navigation Menu With Drop-Down RSS Feeds Like Firefox Toolbar
If you have firefox and know what an RSS feed toolbar looks like, then you know how useful and convenient it is. Most people on my site don't configure it. I would like to take advantage of this and create a 3rd navigation menu that houses feeds. This will make it easier for members to be updated on the latest news and find articles to talk about in the forum. The default registered feeds posts modification for xenforo is cool but I'd rather use this as user generated content is more desired on my site. This could even replace 'Latest Threads' if the forum's Global RSS feeds are added.

When I attempt to go to Google to get an API key it forwards to this address:
https://developers.google.com/loader/signup
With this message:
"The Google Loader no longer requires keys. You don't need to make any changes if you're already using one, but if you choose you may simply remove the key parameter from your requests. Remember that some API calls still require proper identification through HTTP referer as per the documentation and Terms of Service."
"Note that some APIs use other keys (e.g., from the Google APIs Console) which are unaffected by this change."

Okay, figured it out, just delete "?key=your_API_key" from cta_rss_feed and it works fine now. Thanks for the great script Brogan!

i would "request"
to change
to
because without js users will see only:
the JsOnly class, hides this for all without js
hope this helps
edit:
or probably much better:
add the div with js too and then run the google fetch code
to change
Code:
<div class="section">
<div class="secondaryContent" id="rss_feed">Fetching feeds...</div>
</div>
Code:
<div class=" JsOnly section">
<div class="secondaryContent" id="rss_feed">Fetching feeds...</div>

Hi Ragtec
Thanks for your help. Where should I put the
$sidebar = $('.sidebar');
$sidebar.append('<div class="section"><div class="secondaryContent" id="rss_feed">Fetching feeds...</div></div>');
Now I just see the Fetching feeds...
The link I use for the RRS is:
http://www.fugleognatur.dk/rss/RSS_nye_indlaeg_i_forum.asp

I have tried to use this RRS from our Xenforo board instead but it still doesn't work:
http://hilmer-koch.dk/forum/forums/lokaliteter.65/index.rss
This is how my cta_rss_feed looks like:
<xen:require css="cta_rss_feed.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi/></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/dynamicfeed/gfdynamicfeedcontrol.js"></script>
cta_rss_feed_sidebar looks like this:
<xen:include template="cta_rss_feed" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var options = {
title : 'Announcements', /* Title of the feed block */
numResults : 6, /* Number of news items for each feed; default is 4 */
displayTime : 3000, /* Time in milliseconds each item is displayed; default is 5000 */
fadeOutTime : 750, /* Time in milliseconds for the current item fade out; default is 1000, 0 to suppress */
scrollOnFadeOut : true, /* Enable or disable scroll on fade out for the current item */
};
function loadRssFeed() {
var feed = 'http://hilmer-koch.dk/forum/forums/lokaliteter.65/index.rss'; /* URL of the feed */
var fg = new GFdynamicFeedControl(feed, 'rss_feed', options);
}
google.load('feeds', '1');
google.setOnLoadCallback(loadRssFeed);
</script>
<div class=" JsOnly section">
<div class="secondaryContent" id="rss_feed">Fetching feeds...</div>
</div>
I just get a small box with the text Fetching feeds...
I hope someone can help me
All the best

Is there a way to add a unique ID to the feed URL? Google is caching my feeds for days, even weeks, and the only solution that works is to include a unique or random ID number with each request. Is there a command I can insert into the URL field to generate this ID?
Without this my users are served up old outdated feeds.

Additional info on my issue:
If I add "&nocache=1" to the end of the URL it refreshes, but then each time I want to refresh again I need to increment the number by one.
Maybe there is a time/date field that changes automatically as time goes by that would accomplish this?

If I want this to appear on the Xenporta home page and not under the forum sidebar (forum_list) which file do I put the xen:include in?
