 <version>0.1.0</version>
 </Matrid_Feedmanager>
 </modules>
 <global>
 <helpers>
 <feedmanager>
 <class>Matrid_Feedmanager_Helper</class>
 </feedmanager>
 </helpers>
 <blocks>
 <feedmanager>
 <class>Matrid_Feedmanager_Block</class>
 </feedmanager>
 </blocks>

 </all>
 <admin>
 <children>
 <feedmanager translate="title" module="feedmanager">
 <title>Feedmanager</title>
 <sort_order>1000</sort_order>
 <children>
 <feedmanagerbackend translate="title">
 <title>Backend Page Title</title>
 </feedmanagerbackend>
 </children>
