Add Avatar, Poster ID & Postbit Info in RSS Feed for new threads

[Coldhands]

I'm working on getting this to work and wondered if anyone else out there has already tackled this.


I think I've found the code that handles the rss feed, but I'm not sure of the syntax I should use to display the avatars in the xml feed.

Any help would be awesome!

Here's the area that we'll need to add some code to, to make it work:

PHP Code:

case 'RSS':
                    $xml->add_group('item');
                        $xml->add_tag('title', unhtmlspecialchars($thread['title']));
                        $xml->add_tag('link', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]&goto=newpost", array(), false, true);
                        $xml->add_tag('description', "$vbphrase[forum]: " . unhtmlspecialchars($vbulletin->forumcache["$thread[forumid]"]['title_clean']) . "\r\n$vbphrase[posted_by]: " . unhtmlspecialchars($thread['postusername']) . "\r\n" .
                            construct_phrase($vbphrase['post_time_x_at_y'], vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thread['dateline']), vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $thread['dateline'])));
                    $xml->close_group('item');
                    break;
