RSS to include excerpt + body
Somehow I’ve got the feeling I’ve already asked that, but I couldn’t find the topic…
I’d like the RSS feed to include both excerpt AND body content.
Why? It seems I’ve been using the excerpt field in a improper way… The way I thought it was supposed to work was that excerpt is kinda introduction to the full post, a foreword. But it seems TXP logic is that excerpt must be completely independent of body. It has to double the body content in some part…
Anyway, where do I have to start hacking?

Re: RSS to include excerpt + body
well, this is a problem, i have, too.
i hacked the rss.php in textpattern > publish with this hack:
# if ($syndicate_body_or_excerpt) {
# short feed: use body as summary if there's no excerpt
# if (!trim($summary))
# $summary = $content;
# $content = '';
# }
$content=$summary.$content;but i would rather prefer a plugin to do this job. but so far i have not found any plugin for this!

Thanks for the fix! I was looking for a plugin myself, but found none.

rather than hacking existing code, if you are running on Txp 4.0.4 you could try writing a simple plugin to do this by making use of the _l10n_tag_feeds event.

Doh! Absolutely correct Mary, I pasted my own routine’s name rather than the event(s); thanks.
Boby, make that rss_entry or atom_entry and it might be closer to reality.

Thanks for the idea, Steve :) . I’m far from writing plugins (or any programing code, for that matter), so I’ll stick with the fix for now.
