Full Rss Feed Text

[merismus]

Hi,

I would need to know if there is a possibility to make modifications in the any template to get the Full text of an article coming form an RssFeed instead of only the partial text?

Thanks

Put this

{rss:content:encoded}

Into the Body Template section of the Templates area of the RSS Feed. Just put it anywhere.

This is what ours looks like minus the asterik by url

{rss:description}

[url*={rss:link}]More...[/url]


{rss:content:encoded}

Hi LOA,

I tried to add this {rss:content:encoded} but i still only receive the partial RSS Text and not the Full one. See screenshots and let me know if i did it correctly.

Thanks

Where are the screenshots?

Did you know you could add "&fulldesc=1" to the end of the rss link and get the full text of the threads? Only problem is it isn't formated at all including no paragraph breaks.

Which means that you will have to manually edit and space break every entry that is posted. A major hassle and one I was working with until I finally found the way to post the blog and have it RSS correctly as the vB RSS Feed Manager system looks for coding as well, and not just copy the text as it looks effect.

I got my information from asking about it, and Jake referred me to this thread here:

I applied the variable Steve suggested and it worked for us, strangely on an ATOM feed which we shouldn't be able to use with any 3.6. Nonetheless if your RSS isn't RSS2 than that is why it might not work for you. As he states in that thread.

Both the options are available. You either put type=rss in the url or type=rss2 (or type=rss1). See the manual - External Data Provider

i'm sorry i still dont get it, when i run type=rss2 in my forum i get the blank page.

i set in admin page everything and i put {rss:content:encoded} as well, but i still just get the description only, NOT full news.
