My RSS Reader is a component allowing to show in a Joomla page the feeds generated by the RSS sites you select. The number of RSS item you can add is teorically infinite. The component check for new feeds at specific intervals of time configured by the administrator. When the guest user visit the feeds page the component verify if a new check must be executed and show a list of the RSS sites to check and an animated progress status of the operation. This dynamic checking use AJAX engine to perform the checks without slow down the page loading. Basically there are two strategies for undate feeds. The first simply check all the RSS sites after configured time elapsed. This method have the advantage to have your feeds list always updated with all new feeds but if you have a large number of RSS sites to check the checking operation could take some time and not all the users can have the patience to wait for. The second method allow to "distribute" the sites to check after specific number of minutes late. For example if you have a list of 15 RSS sites to check you can set the component to check 5 sites every 10 minuts. This mean after update time elapsed the component will check the first 5 sites, after 10 minutes will check other 5 sites and so on until all the RSS sites has been checked. This technique allow to have short update time but for have all RSS feeds updated need very frequently visits to the component page. Right now I thought to these two solution, if you have a better idea I'm always open to accept new suggestion for improve the component.


NOTE: If Joomla System Cache Plugin is enabled the component will not work well. The plugin cache the RSS check page that will be continuously showed until cache expire. If you experiment such problem check your cache plugin and, in case, disable it.
