RSS Reader requires PHP script on the server where the website is published.

If you are testing RSS Reader locally, you should have a local web server that support PHP scripts installed. Also PHP must be able to reach the RSS feed, in other words, must be able to request the RSS feed from a remote web site.

In any case, verify that the URL of the RSS feed is correct.

Is the extension MAC compatible ?

Yes, our extensions are tested, approved and published in the Adobe Exchange site by the Adobe Exchange Team. This assures compatibility with most Dreamweaver versions, browsers and platforms.

The extension requires inserting some scripts on the head section of the page.

Then you need to insert the extension in the template page (just to generate the scripts) or manually paste the scripts from a normal page into the template.

Please, be sure to upload the "TSScript" folder. This folder is generated automatically when inserting the extension and contains the required scripts for the component. If you don't see the "TSScript" folder in your Dreamweaver file list, then click the refresh button (see image for details).
