RSS Questions external.php

damon18 · July 18th, 2008, 02:49 PM

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

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

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)

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

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

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

to say

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

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

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

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.
