I have a requirement to show an RSS feed from a third party site. I don't want to do this through the browser's RSS mechanism. Instead I want to embed the feed (with styling) into a particular page.
My question is, can this be done just using the CMS admin? Is there a particular content type/part I can use? Or would this have to be done programatically?
I realise there are modules that I could download, but I see no support for RSS feeds for Orchard 1.6, which I'm using. The ones I've tried are for later versions.
Thanks!
UPDATE
These may be useful if anyone else encounters problems:

For the second one, I simply removed the offending class file as I didn't need this.
The Vandelay.Industries module has an external rss feature. Be sure to get the source code from vandelay.codeplex.com

I have a strange question but I don't find any hint about that (if it's possible), for a drupal 7 website I have to modify some content of a page in the backoffice, but I really don't know from where some content of this page is created (a table, similar to a view table but not a view table).
I just want to know if there is any way to show which php function the page use to finally be showed. I know there is something like that for the theme (drupal theme debug) but I don't find something for my case.
Any idea ?
You need PHP profiler to check all functions called on page, there's a module for Drupal7 for XHProf integration. But I would suggest you to use your browsers inspector as mentioned by 2pha before. For example if there's a form on the page just use the form ID to find it. Custom classes are very useful in these cases, parts of the html codes etc. In your case search for table headers...
The code you are looking for is most probably in custom modules and the
general suggestion is to keep you custom modules in separated folder from contributed ones.
Divi is a wordpress theme https://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/divi/. It contains a video module https://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/divi/documentation/video/ that allows you to add the URL of your video and then view it on your website. Currently it supports Youtube, Vimeo, etc. however does not support Wistia. Without going into detail Wistia is the only option I can use, and therefore my aim is to create a plugin that adds this functionality. However I'm going into the unknown and want further direction. My first objective would be to look into the theme code and find out how the theme is adding this functionality for Youtube, Vimeo, etc. Exactly how would I find the code? And then why wouldn't this functionality have been added to begin with? Would they have just left it out, or would it be another reason that might be preventing me from adding the functionality?
Every single include/embed/attachment etc. that loads from an external source, into Your app is done trough the usage of an API which Your source provides.
You won't be able to find much in their code since this is probably being done trough some custom shortcodes or hooks. In both situations, this requires custom modifications from their developers in order for the Westia API to work with the DIVI builder.
In Your particular case, Westia do provide an API but if DIVI didn't include that yet, I presume that this is because of the fact that Westia is a Niche video hosting provider, not a public one like Youtube / Vimeo. Therefore, I think that You should contact their support for more information on that issue.
You can try to embed your desired wisita video trough a custom object of some kind.
So in this case, You can go trough this thread right here by Elegant themes, and after you get acquainted with the methods to do so, head over to WISTIA's embedding options page and find out what fits your site best.
Is it possible to remove the markup wiki language from the RSS feed and only show the article content?
Because I am using different template like info-boxes etc. and when people click the RSS link it show all the template markup and all the unnecessary coding that people don't really care. I been trying to find a good tutorial or help where I can accomplish this.

As Dereckson says, no, it's not possible. Feeds are just an alternate way to consume recent changes.
The ability to consume recent changes in parsed format essentially equates the feature request for visual diffs (HTML diffs). Will be possible at some point with Parsoid.
I need to import Twitter posts (single account) into a Drupal site to display in a sidebar. Obviously I can use the pluggable JS script, but I don't want the page to hang waiting for a response from Twitter.
I installed the new Feeds module, but I am a little confused. I want to create a content type. This content is created from the RSS feed of tweets. However, it would seem that Feeds does not allow me to create multiple feed sources to create different types of content with? Is that true? Does it merge all imported RSS into a single content type?
The reason I ask is because I don't want everything merged into Feed Items, I'd like imported content to be mapped to different content types for Views displays.
I think I figured this out, if I add a New Importer, I can do what I was looking for. Kind of sucks to have to create so many content types though.
You may also want to take a look at the activitystream module, I think it does more or less what you want.
I use it on my personal site and it works ok, trying to get patches in is not paticularly easy mind you.
I was wonder if anyone can help me with this. I've been looking everywhere for this information, but I want to make a web application using dascode rss. I know that you can't link external sources. Does anyone know a way I can get around it. From what I understand a little php can get around this, but I'm unsure where to look.
OK, first thing no PHP. Dashcode is limited to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Although having said that there are a whole range of system calls that cna be made using the functionality provided by various parts of the x-cde system.
Second yes you can link to external sources such as other web sites, api on say Twitter, google etc. RSS feeds and so on, not sure where you got the idea to the contrary.
If you want to learn how to do a Dashcode RSS then open up Dashcode, start a new project, either web based or Dsashboard based and choose the RSS project. This will give you an out of the box template to add you own information and then see how it works. Then customise it.
In the above i am assuming Snow Leopard and the latest Dashcode/X-code but it will still gove you most of what you want on earlier version.
