Cannot put feeds into Primary Links

how can I add a feed to "somewhere" where it can be accessed as a primary link?

How are you trying to add a feed?
What's your primary purpose of this?

Hi,
I want to have news feeds to be listed under the main navigation links of News, Business, Sport, Politics etc, so when the user clicks on "Sport"
they are taken to news items about sport.

I am using the Create content option, and then I click on "feed"
Add a feed and then I try to add it to the options under "primary links". But nothing shows up.

I then need to automate the feeds to add new news items.

please see www.smoogee.com.

the feeds there are updated automatically, and are placed in categories.

So, there are two things you need to do:

1. Aggregate content using feeds. In most cases this will create number of nodes of certain type.
2. Create a View that lists these nodes (e.g. filtered by type) the way you need. Once you have that view you can link its Page display from the menu.

Also the version of OpenPublish you are probably using uses a module called Feeds API for aggregation. OpenPublish 2.3 (which will be released later this week) comes with a newer and better module called Feeds. The latter module works better and is a little more intuitive.

Either way, you will have to understand Feeds and Views modules to achieve what you need.

In general if you want customize OpenPublish, you need to have certain understanding of Drupal, which OpenPublish is based on. There are some good books of Drupal 6 that can really help you. Pick one that is geared more towards using Drupal, than developing modules for Drupal (since you are not technical and care less about that). Make sure they cover things like CCK and Views.

OpenPublish (and Drupal) are complex publishing systems. You can achieve great results with them, but there's some learning curve. To use photography analogy: they are not point-and-shoot cameras, they are DSLRs that require some understanding, but deliver superior results. It's not all scary though - OpenPublish is not a dated film camera either :) It does do a lot of things for you, too.

Hope this helps.

There's a Feed API to Feeds upgrade script: https://github.com/developmentseed/feedapi2feeds

How sucessful/painless it will be depends on the complexity of what you have done, I guess.

Feed can not act as an article because article is a content item, whereas feed is just a meta item which defines how external items should be aggregated into CMS. The two are completely different animals.
