    Back link in RSS-feeds

    Is it possible to add:

    HTML Code:
    Fetched from <a href="">MySite</a>
    in the RSS-feeds my forum generates. Guess it has to be in content:encoded...

    Thanks,

    If the feed contains a node with that link then you can reference that node in the Body Template of the feed. This thread has some of the more standard nodes:

      Sorry for being blind, but where can I find the feed's body template? I guess it's not in Style Manager...

      Thanks,

          Ah, I see where you're pointing me, but I mean the other way around: I want to include a back-link in the rss-feeds my forum is pushing out (external data provider), not the feeds I am harvesting. Sorry for being unclear. I've been trying to edit external.php, but only with strange results...

          I would like to have rss-feeds active for my forum, but now other forums are stealing my content without giving a link back to my site. I am thinking if I include a link back in content:encoded it will drive traffic to my site and also be good for my search engine ranking (seo).

          Anyway, thanks for your efforts.

          Thanks,

            That is already in the outgoing feed. It's the "link" node.

            {rss:link}

              The stealer usually remove this !
              It is the prblem that we are being stolen without back linking
