decoding RSS feed link to display just summaries

Post by girlnerd »

Hi Folks,

I used RSS Feedburner to discover my feed url:

http://www.gonewz.com/index.php?mact=News%2Ccntnt01%2Crss&cntnt01showtemplate=false&cntnt01category=blog&cntnt01number=20&cntnt01returnid=15

Changing category from =blog to just = like this:

http://www.gonewz.com/index.php?mact=News%2Ccntnt01%2Crss&cntnt01showtemplate=false&cntnt01category=&cntnt01number=20&cntnt01returnid=15

Returns all the news on my site instead of just the category of blog. Which is what I want. Is there a way of editing this url so that it shows just summaries instead of unformatted whole stories?

Could it be the showtemplate parameter?

Thanks in advance,

girlnerd

Re: decoding RSS feed link to display just summaries --> Edit the template

Hi,

It's probably too late, but it can help in the future...

You have to edit this file : modules/news/templates/rssfeed.tpl,

adjust Description to just send the summary:

strippedsummary}]]>

Being there, you can also adjust the highest Description to fit with your site.

HTH,

Fred
