RSS Questions external.php
 

Looking at the new rss feed and the file external.php :

1 - What do lines 71-73 do? On mine I can't see that having comments makes any difference in the feed.

2- I'd like to shorten the description shown in the feed. I tried to use code similar to showcat.php like
but couldn't get it to work.

3- external.php can display a particular category, could other selects be done? I'd like to be able to create a feed for a particular users listings.

Thanks,

Damon

1) 71-73 sees if an image is private.

2) 3) Not without modifying the code no

2 - worked! placed it just below the // Add Description comment around line 64.

3. I don't mind. ;)

4 - I noticed that bbcode tags are not stripped out of the description (or titles) as html tags are. Could we add that?

why not just change this line

to say

That does convert the bbcode to actual css in the RSS feed, but I'd rather just strip it out if possible. Is there a strip_markups?

The only other problem I see now is that when someone used quote marks and an ampersand in the title it shows as
I tried putting the convert_markups around the title like the description, didn't make any difference.

No there is no strip markups thing sorry.
