How can we use feeds within the CMS as content?

---

This is easily accomplished by adding the following snipplet to any page that you wish to display feed content from:

<?php // Load the XML file into a Simple XML object
$filename = "URL_OF_FEED_HERE";
$feed = simplexml_load_file($filename);

foreach ($feed->channel->item as $item) {
$chars = 150;
if(strlen($item->description) > $chars)
{
$item->description = $item->description." ";
$item->description = substr($item->description,0,$chars);
$item->description = substr($item->description,0,strrpos($item->description,' '));
$item->description = $item->description."...";
}
echo "<p><a href='" . $item->link . "' class='leftlink'>" . $item->title . "</a></p>";
echo "<p>" . $item->description . "</p>";
}

?>

This is an example and works very well for any type of site!
