Cutomise RSS Feed was created by Red Evolution
Hi,

Is it possible to customise the layout of the RSS feed? My client uses the media tab to load in images from their Flickr and Photoshelter account but the RSS feed only looks for an image in the Image tab rather than the media tab. I've found the file that controls the RSS feed layout but wasn't sure if it was possible to create an override for it or if the only way to change it is to 'hack' the main code.

Thanks,
Dave

K2 bakes into the each feed item all available content. E.g. for the media tab, see this: github.com/getk2/k2/blob/master/components/com_k2/models/item.php#L334

I know we use <div class="K2FeedVideo">...</div> (for backwards compatibility reasons of course) but it should output everything there. Plugins can even be parsed just fine.

Are you sure the output is not blocked by some other plugin or even the plugin that may render these Flickr images? They may render content explicitely when the page format is set to "html".

Sorry Fotis, I wasn't very clear with what I was looking to achieve.

The video does output as expected but by default it appears below the content within the <description> tag. When pulling this data into Mailchimp, it uses everything within the <description> tag as it's main content, which means the image embedded in the Media tab appears below the content rather than above the content like the image does. So what I was wanting to be able to do was move the video section up beside the image so that it appears before the content or remove it from the <description> tag so that I can isolate it properly in the Mailchimp code.

Thanks,
Dave

The quick way is to change the order in the file I referenced.

The right way is to have a plugin re-order that content based on the surrounding div's class name. That's why these blocks are marked and not output as-is.

Could be a system plugin being invoke only when the document format is "feed".

Okay, I wasn't sure if it was possible to create an override file for it in the template 'html' folder. I'll need to run it past the client and see what he reckons. Thanks for your help with this.

There is no override for sure.
