How to get my rss displayer to show full content?

[Zapato]

Hi Everybody,

Wow, I'm so glad to have found this place. I'm fumbling with php as I go along, and I'm stuck on a problem.

I'm hacking into a plugin for wordpress - it's an rss plugin that displays the feed's links. But I want it to display the feed's content instead, so I look through the code and I found the lines that display the data. Problem is, I can't get it to load the feed's posts.

Take a look:

$summary = '<div class="rssSummary">' . $item['description'] . '</div>';
echo "<li>$summary</li>";

See where it says 'description'? I discovered that that corresponds to tags in the rss feed; if I put something else there, such as 'link' 'date' 'title' the plugin is able to find that corresponding data in the feed, and display it correctly.

In the feed, the content I want displayed is labeled with <content:encoded>

So I figure if I put content:encoded in place of description, and it should work.

But it doesn't - the function outputs nothing.

Damn, so close! What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Stupid question: isnt $item['description'] empty? 😃

When u put $item['title'] do u encode it?
If the title is showen and the description is not could be a multiline problem?
Is your rss code valid?

Hey bogu, thanks for trying. But there were other problems, so I'm scrapping it and I'm starting from scratch.

We'll see how it goes... I might end up here two weeks from now and ask the same question!
