Rss feed (again :) was created by Chabi01
Hi everybody,
For my needs, I check several threads and did not found how to achieve what I need.
On the forum, I have found how to add information to the "description" like this one : www.flexicontent.org/component/kunena/30...-in-rss.html?start=0
but this is not exactly what I want.
So,
I have added an extra field "rssimage" to a type. This field contains only an image
I need to add to the category feed the image field, for example :
How to call the image field separatly like this and not in the "description" area then ?
Thanks for your help
Xavier

Code:
<item>
<title>My article title</title>
<link>https://link_to_my_page.html</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">https://link_to_my_page.html</guid>
<description><![CDATA[
<div class="feed-description">
the generated feed for the description ok</description>
[b]<image>
<url> http://www.mysite.fr/upload/images/actus/example.png</url>
<title>name of the image or name of the page</title>
<link>https://www.mysite.fr/</link>

Ok, I understood ! Let me explain.
In fact, "the /components/com_flexicontent/views/category/view.feed.php" file prepares the content for the parser of Joomla.
Then, to have the inclusion of this "new" xml enclosure in my rss feed, you have to modify the Joomla rss parser in "/libraries/src/Document/Renderer/Feed/RssRenderer.php".
The modification in my case was :
in view.feed.php :
Line 190 :
and in the renderer
added Line 243 after the <comments> xml enclosure and before the "date" condition :
Then, I can have the correct result as I have my <image>....</image> included in my feed.
For the record, I add to find this by myself by searching a tag in all the file of Joomla (I did not found any doc on this).
BE CAREFULL IF YOU PLAN TO DO THIS BY YOURSELF ! In this search for a solution, I had to modify 2 files without using any template override ! At the next update of Flexicontent or Joomla, there is a chance to lose these changes !
Then, if somebody have a solution to add these change to my template (as overrides), it could be very usefull to know, and I would be glad to have an explanation
Thanks,
Xavier

// Add readmore link to description if introtext is shown, show_readmore is true and fulltext exists
$more_text_exists = (!$feed_summary && $item->fulltext) || $item_desc_cut;
and in the renderer
added Line 243 after the <comments> xml enclosure and before the "date" condition :
Code:
if ($data->items[$i]->imagerss != '')
{
$feed .= '<image><url>' . htmlspecialchars($data->items[$i]->imagerss, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . "</url></image>\n";

Then, I can have the correct result as I have my <image>....</image> included in my feed.
