Noob setup

Good evening everyone

First two noob questions are:

News feed
the default new code is :

{
title: “New York Times”,
url: “http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml”,
}

I am trying to switch it to an Australian feed from either of these sites
https://www.news.com.au/
https://www.abc.net.au/news

I cant not find the rss / .xml string anywhere ??

i would also like to add a second one for wheather warnings from this site http://www.bom.gov.au/rss/?ref=ftr for the
New South Wales & ACT if that is possible

Calendar
I have changed the default calendar from US holidays to AU holidays and it works ok.
what is the correct config line to reverse the date from the way it is displayed MMDDYYYY the the Australian way DDMMYYYY

thankyou

Thankyou bravoOscar

I have replaced the New York Times one with the ABC news feed, i was missing the ‘,’ after the title string

Is this the correct code for multiple feeds ? can you see anything incorrect? the other two don’t seem to work

module: “newsfeed”,
position: “bottom_bar”,
config: {
feeds: [
{
title: “ABC News”,
url: “https://www.abc.net.au/news/feed/4535882/rss.xml”
},
{
title: “Weather Warnings for Australian Capital Territory.”,
url: “http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDZ00061.warnings_land_nsw.xml”
},
{
tittle: “News.com”,
url: “https://www.news.com.au/content-feeds/latest-news-national/”
},
],
showSourceTitle: true,
showPublishDate: true,
broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
broadcastNewsUpdates: true

		{
			disabled: false,
			module: "newsfeed",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "News.com.au",
						url: "https://www.news.com.au/content-feeds/latest-news-national/"
					},
					{
						title: "Weather Warnings for Australian Capital Territory.",
						url: "http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDZ00061.warnings_land_nsw.xml"
					},
					{
						title: "ABC News",
						url: "https://www.abc.net.au/news/feed/4535882/rss.xml"
					}
					
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true,
				broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
				broadcastNewsUpdates: true
			}
		},

ABC is working, there are no actual data for weater right now.
The news.com format is wrong, because it dosent end on rss.

@bravooscar go to one of the aus news links, and search for rss

u will get a page of different sources, select one and save its url

Thanks @BravoOscar

I only used the url: “https://www.news.com.au/content-feeds/latest-news-national/” as thats what was in the above post.

Ill have a search around for a rss one.

I noticed you put, disabled: false, as per below in your post, can you expand on what that does ? does that separate them ?

{
disabled: false,
module: “newsfeed”,
position: “bottom_bar”,
config: {

thanks ?

This is an easy way to enable or disable a module when MM launches, without say, commenting out the entire module’s entry or removing the entry from the config altogether.

So, for the module to load at MM launch

disabled: false,

For the module NOT to load at MM launch

disabled: true,
