resolvedHi Kriesi,
Using your great theme and having fun customising it for a commercial news site.
I am trying to set up feeds to another site and although I can get seperate feeds for each category, no images show in the feed. I am only using the 'Featured image' from WP 3.0, so how can I get images into the feed?
Is this a theme mod, or Wordpress 3.0 mod?
Hey!
Adding images to RSS feeds is easiest with a plugin such as this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss-image-widget/
Are you using a RSS widget to get the content on the other site?
Best regards,
James
No. I want images to appear in the actual RSS feed.
I know there's a plugin for adding thumbnails from an image attachment into the feed, but when using only 'Featured Images' with this theme, no images show.
I added a few lines of code into functions.php:
// THIS INCLUDES THE THUMBNAIL IN OUR RSS FEED
function insertThumbnailRSS($content) {
global $post;
if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ){
$content = '' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'thumbnail' ) . '' . $content;
}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'insertThumbnailRSS');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'insertThumbnailRSS');...but that only adds a tiny thumbnail into the main feed and doesn't add anything into the category feeds domain.com/category/feed.
i'm stuck...
If you're comfortable adding PHP functions then forget the plugin. I've used this code before for a client and this worked (for categories as well):
function rss_post_thumbnail($content) {
global $post;
if(has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
$content = '<p>' . get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID) .'</p>' . get_the_content();
}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'rss_post_thumbnail');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'rss_post_thumbnail');Regarding the image size, your code specified the 'thumbnail' size which is usually very small. What size do you want the images to be?
Hi James,
I altered the code and changed the thumbnail size in 'Settings' --> 'Media' in wordpress admin. All (new) images are now at desired size. As newscast uses Tim Thumb across the site for thumbnails and not the Wordpress thumbnail settings (150x150px), it works a charm.
Hey,
Awesome, I'm glad you sorted this out.
If you have any other questions, let me know.
Cheers,
James
HI everyone, we have the same problem with RSS Image Feed.
I wish to have the feeds like this:
http://notiziefresche.info/feed/ and like this http://notiziefresche.info/feed/rss/
but we have this, now:
http://www.mexplora.com/viajes-mexico/feed/ and this http://www.mexplora.com/viajes-mexico/feed/rss/
We tried with your solution, and now we are in this solution on functions.php of theme Newscast:
function rss_post_thumbnail($content) {
global $post;
if(has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
$content = '<p>' . get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID) .'</p>' . get_the_content();
}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'rss_post_thumbnail');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'rss_post_thumbnail');So, who can help us? how we can to do for to go in goal?
nice day ;)
we tried also this code in functions.php but nothing :
function add_image_custom( $content ) {
remove_filter('the_content', 'add_image_RSS');
add_filter('the_content', 'add_image_custom');
global $post, $id;
$blog_key = substr( md5( get_bloginfo('url') ), 0, 16 );
if ( ! is_feed() ) return $content;
// Get the "image" from custom field
$image = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wp_attached_file', $single = true);
$image_width = '104';
// If there's an image, display the image with the content
if($image !== '') {
$image = '<p style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 15px; width:'.$image_width.'px;">
<img src="http://www.mexplora.com/viajes-mexico/wp-content/uploads/'.$image.'" />
</p>' ;
echo $image;
return $content;
}
// If there's not an image, just display the content
else {
$content = $content;
return $content;
}
}Hi!
What happens if you use the code I previously posted?
