Edit the feedcache-cron.rb file a. Copy the "fcpipes directory" path from the CRON Script Settings into the "FCPIPES_DIR = ''" variable b. Set the number of characters from each RSS feed you want to display
Add the feedcache-cron.rb ruby script to your servers CRON job (if you need help with CRON please refer to the following URL: http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html) (e.g. 30 * * * * /usr/bin/ruby /path/to/your/wordpress/install/wp-content/plugins/feedcache-pipes/feedcache-cron.rb)
Add the following code to your wordpress theme where you want the RSS feed listing to be displayed
<?php if (function_exists('fcpipes_display_feeds')) { echo fcpipes_display_feeds(); } ?>
for the default (group 1) listing or you can specify a group number (in this case, group 3)
<?php if (function_exists('fcpipes_display_feeds)) { echo fcpipes_display_feeds(3); } ?>
If you don't specify a group number in the function call, then Group 1 will be used. If you want to specify the specific group number to display use "fcpipes_display_feeds(GROUP_NUMBER)" where GROUP_NUMBER is the number you want to display.
Sit back and enjoy the plugin
