  • From within the Module Manager, select Administrator
  • From the Icon Menu (top right), select New
  • From the choices available, select Feeds Display
  • At the Feed Module configuration page, enter the appropriate details (Title (EG: Security Announcements) and Feed as a minimum)
  • Enter http://feeds.joomla.org/JoomlaSecurityNews in the Feed URL
  • Select cpanel as the position
  • Optional Select Apply from the Icon Menu (top right) and place the feed in the order where you want to see it in the Admin Control Panel
  • Select Save from the Icon Menu (top right)
  • Go back to your Admin Site main page (Site -> Control Panel) and you should see your newly built Security Feed.
