meinbezirk News

MeinBezirk News provides a block that shows the latest articles from MeinBezirk.at, Austria's regional news platform, for the regions you choose. It uses the public RSS feeds, so no account or API key is needed.

Features

• 9 Austrian states and 122 districts, grouped by state. Choose a whole state or single districts, and mix several regions. Articles are merged and sorted by date.
• Choose the number of articles (1 to 25) and show or hide teaser, date, category and image.
• Images are off by default, because loading them sends the visitor's IP address to MeinBezirk.at (see Privacy).
• Responsive: the layout adapts to the width of its container, so it works in a sidebar, a main region or a dashboard tile. Images are cropped to 4:3 and show the image credit.
• Feeds are fetched on the server and cached for 30 minutes. If a feed is not reachable, the block stays empty.
• Links use rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer", and a source link to MeinBezirk.at is always shown.
• English interface with a German translation that is imported on install.

Requirements

Drupal 10.3 or 11 and the PHP extension simplexml. No other modules are needed.

Privacy and content

Titles, teasers and images belong to MeinBezirk and the respective authors. Check the terms of use of MeinBezirk.at before you use the module in production. If you enable images, mention it in your privacy policy.
