Installation

1. Create the necessary database tables with the following commands:

$ cd /PATH/TO/SITELLITE
$ /path/to/mysql -p -u USER DBNAME < inc/app/feedreader/install/install-mysql.sql
(enter password when prompted)

2. Install 'feed_channel' collection into the CMS, enabling access to
the list of feeds.

$ cp inc/app/feedreader/install/feed_channel.php inc/app/cms/conf/collections/

3. Install 'feedcheck' scheduler task

$ cp -R inc/app/feedreader/install/feedcheck inc/app/scheduler/tasks

4. Refer to your system documentation (e.g. 'man crontab') to add the new scheduler task to crontab:

/path/to/php -f index scheduler-app feedcheck

Set it to desired refresh rate. Please note that values less than 15 minutes are not recommended. You can fine tune this manually in feed settings. For example, Slashdot will ban your IP if you'll fetch its feed more than once an hour, so set it to update every 60 (or more) minutes.

5. (recommended) Either include '/inc/app/feedreader/install/feedreader.css' to your templates or paste its contents directly into /inc/html/your_template/site.css

6. Go to Control panel and a new feed to the 'Feed channel' collection

7. You are now ready to open your feed reader by going to:
