      Hi there, new to this but have played with pies for a while.

      So I am trying to get much more of the current news articles on the screen, not just the headlines, how do I set up the config file to do this please.

      I have read throught the manual but I am just not getting it.

      Thanks

        @edwardssj not in the doc, but a config option (defaults to false) is

        showFullArticle

        so, set that to true in the config.js newsreader config section

            @edwardssj never mind,. it doesn’ty work for some sites (as the site refuses to allow embedding)

            the setup was

            		{
            			module: "newsfeed",
            			disabled: false,
            			position: "bottom_bar",
            			config: {
            				feeds: [
            					{
            						title: "New York Times",
            						url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
            					}
            				],
            				showSourceTitle: true,
            				showPublishDate: true,
            				broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
            				broadcastNewsUpdates: true,
            				showFullArticle : true      // < ---  added this, with the comma on line before
            			}
            		},

                    @edwardssj no problem. Hope it works for you.

                    The New York Times doesn’t allow it’s feed to be framed away from it’s parent site

                      @sdetweil It does but of course brings the story up into a full screen, I just have to find a way to bring the text only into the window.

                      Thank you for showing me the anatomy of the module.
