RSS Feeds not including thumbnails

[ncg]

We have a forum where every day someone makes a pic of the day post.

The posts consists of a title, a short description in the body and one or two attached images.

I want to integrate the pic of the day functionality on the main part of our website so that the page just takes the current pic of the day post from that forum and displays it.

I thought that the rss feed would be perfect for this.

I have that forum set as the external data supplier and an rss feed being made from it.

On the webpage I have tried using both zfeed and magpie to display the feed, they work well except that the thumbnail links are always broken.

Is there a trick to getting the thumbnails or larger images themselves to get included in the feed?

Would I be better trying to use the external Javascript content syndication system for this? If so can someone suggest the correct code to put in my webpages to display the title, body and image?

RSS feeds do not use attachments and consequently they cannot convert these to thumbnails.

In what way are the thumbnail links broken? What is the url to your rss feed?

Here's the url to the feed itself - http://www.girlsoutwest.com/vbulleti...s2&forumids=25

Here's what the feed looks like using zfeed and magpie. All I want to do is have the images (thumbnails or otherwise) included as well so that I can put the latest article on a webpage.

Any suggestions?

This is a bug, which I've tracked down and will give a fix for shortly.

[Steve Machol]

Wow, I'm wrong. I hate when that happens.

Here is the fix.

Can you make the edited file available for download somewhere? I have made these changes and they just produce the following errors -

In the RSS Feed Manager or running that scheduled task I get the following error - "feed XML Error: Invalid document end at line 2"

PM's are also affected after the change. Whenever someone goes to read one an error is produced noting line 436 of the edited file.

I have been extremely careful in making those changes and know that I have made no typo's but these new errors appear. If I can grab an edited and working file from one of you guys I can be sure that's it's not my own bad typing causing the prob.

Here is the fix.

Could someone submit the RSS code this person uses? I'm really intrested in having a thumbnail avabile on a nonvb page.

Here is the fix.

[Steve Machol]

It was fixed in 3.6.3.

so how DO you include thumbnails in RSS feeds anyway...
Also how do you include content as well as the title.

bump on the last question....

[sinjix_media]

word...

[scorpio24]

Place this code in your body template (rss manager)
This will add the title,description, and a link to the original post.

[b]{rss:title}[/b]

{rss:description}

[url={rss:link}]More...[/url]

as far as posting any attachments...
