Extra Fields on RSS feed was created by Carlos Caires

Hi,

I need to get extra fields contents on k2 RSS feed (I don't know why they aren't there by default, I think they should be...).
Does anyone already solved this issue?
I guess the file that needs to be changed is this -> components/com_k2/views/itemlist/view.feed.php

Thanks

Hi,

I know that thread, I've read it. Even so, I couldn't, by myself, implement what I was looking for (I tried). That's Why I was looking for help, if is there someone around wiling to do it...
Thanks

Which file did you edit and which additions did you make?

components/com_k2/views/itemlist/view.feed.php
I think this file is the one

also probably the file "components/com_k2/models/item.php", should be changed as described here-> (www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/47198-replace-k2-rss-image-with-an-extra-field-value).
Anyway, implementing this feature is something way beyond my skills... I´ll look for help elsewhere. Meanwhile I would suggest JW considering including extra fields on RSS feeds as a core feature.
Thanks

You can always use K2's JSON API and make things far simpler to work with ;)

You must be probably right, but I have no idea what you're talking about...

Apparently this is an old issue that nobody seems to be able to solve (these olds posts remain unanswered)

Revert any changes you have made to any core files.
Follow the directions as described here:
www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/47198-replace-k2-rss-image-with-an-extra-field-value#159910
The file is mentioned in the beginning /components/com_k2/models/item.php

Now do you want to add specific extrafields or all of them?

I've already added

$item->extra_fields = $this->getItemExtraFields($item->extra_fields, $item);

to the mentioned file, at the end of "function prepareFeedItem", and the feed still doesn't include the extra fields, so I guess something is still missing somewhere...

I would like to have all extra fields (group) attached to that category

This is where the fields need to be rendered ->
github.com/getk2/k2/blob/master/components/com_k2/models/item.php#L284-L286

The $item->description should contain the extrafields loop as well.

An example loop can be found here -> github.com/getk2/k2/blob/master/components/com_k2/models/item.php#L762-L789

Another alternative would be to try using this method
github.com/getk2/k2/blob/master/components/com_k2/models/item.php#L158

Where you would still have to add

$item->description .= $item->extrafields;

in line 285 (check the first link);

Hi Krikor and Fotis,

I'm not a programmer.
When I posted this topic on this forum I was looking for an answer from some really nice guy willing to post here the modified file, since this feature has been requested so many times in the past...
I appreciate all your help, but even with your suggestions I don't have the knowledge to modify the file by myself.

I'll look for help elsewhere
Best
