decoding RSS feed link to display just summaries

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

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
