RSS Feed Question

[joeychgo]

Who controls the amount of text displayed within an RSS Feed ? Can I control how long of a description my forum puts out?

[Gomjaba]

Good question ...

[joeychgo]

in the AdminCp it says

You can specify exactly how these items appear and any item from a feed can be inserted by using {rss:fieldname} where 'fieldname' corresponds to an XML node in the feed.

Ok - so I tried {rss:content:encoded} and it didnt work. The RSS feed shows alot more content then {rss:description} -

So what should I try?

You have to wait for beta 4 to use {rss:content:encoded}

Was {rss:content:encoded} added in beta 4? I've been using {rss:text} to get more content in my feeds.

[Freddie Bingham]

Yes, did you try it? If you preview a feed that supports content:encoded, you'll be told so.

I just gave it a try. The feed I'm using doesn't support it so I'm out of luck on that for now. Is a way to make the feed thread title so it pulls the first X number of words from the content and uses that for the title?
