Provides a new field formatter for Link fields. It uses the PaRSS jQuery library to fetch the URL from the link field and display the RSS feed on the page.
What is this?
This module is the solution for client-side rendering of RSS feeds using the Link module to store the RSS URL.
Why?
Importing RSS feeds is easily (and preferably) handled by the Feeds project. Unfortunately, there are scalability issues involved in fetching, parsing and storing lots and lots of regularly updated XML feeds.
A simple example is allowing each user on your site to list their own RSS feed. Once your membership numbers reach a critical mass (say, 150+ for example), your server will grind to a halt every time Feeds tries to import those 150+ separate RSS feeds.
This module shifts the burden back onto the client's browser and effectively negates those scalability issues.
Caveats
At the moment this module does not provide a non-javascript fallback. If the user does not have javascript enabled in their browser the RSS feed will not display.
