More Description In RSS Feed

[Wirral.Talk]

Can you tell me please how to get more details for the description from an RSS Feed?
When i was with IPB it was fine but since using vbulletin i am hardly getting any description being posted.

Hope someone can help.
Thank you.

If by "more details" you mean longer text, it uses the "Length of Thread Preview Text" setting (under Settings > Options > Forum Display Options in the admincp). You can include &fulldesc=1 on the url to get the full length description, or you could use a plugin to override the setting (maybe use hook external_start and just set $vbulletin->options['threadpreview'] = 0)

So if i add &fulldesc=1 to the end of the RSS feed link it should work?
Can i make sure we are talking about the same thing, i mean when an RSS feed posts, i want it to show more in the thread instead of just a few words.

I was talking about a feed from your site. If you're talking about a feed from another site that you're posting on yours, then that doesn't work. I'm not sure if there's anything that you can do about that - is there any way you can post a link to one of the feeds that has the problem?

Yeah no problem its: http://www.wirraltalk.co.uk/showthre...sion-In-Wirral
Thats how it posts and the RSS feed link is: http://www.merseyfire.gov.uk/aspx/pages/rss/rss.aspx

Hmm...well, it looks like what's posting is exactly what's in the feed, which is how the vbulletin feed poster works. If you're sure that you're using the exact same url then I don't know, maybe IPB does something different (I'm not familiar with it at all).

Someone else may have an idea.
