I just recently got serious about Drupal after leaving Joomla ... Drupal rocks!!!
The only feature I am disappointed in (and probably just because of my needs, not because of the module) is the aggregator module.
I would like an aggregator similar to Joomla's in that the aggregator block shows the link (which links back to the news supplier) ALONG WITH the text supplied with that link. Joomla allowed for (and were able to customize the choices) the display of the name of the syndicator, their logo image if supplied, and images related to the news feature. I really do not want my readers to click on a link, simply to be taken to another local page to read one line of text and have to again click on a link to be taken to the full story.
Since I know I have a tendency to ramble, maybe I should show graphically what I want.
A block which shows:
-- Name of Syndicator (if option selected) --
-- Image of Syndicator (if option selected) --
-- image with story --
-- link to full story at syndicator site --
-- text supplied by syndicator --
-- link to full story at syndicator site--
-- text supplied by syndicator --
-- link to full story at syndicator site --
-- text supplied by syndicator --
...
End Block
The number of links should be selectable too (which is how it is now)
Is there such a module out there, or is someone out there able to edit the aggregator module to do that? I am proficient with php, but need to learn the mechanics of Drupal yet.
