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

Hello Carlos,

You will find this thread useful www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/44723-modify-k2-rss-feed-output-add-extra-fields

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 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)

(Yes, I "search the forum before posting a question!" :-)

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 addin line 285 (check the first link);
