Utilizing the Ventrian News article, do you know if PNG files are displayed in HTML format in the RSS feed?

I believe that you have to include the image in the part of the article that is syndicated AND you have to make sure that the full URL is specified. If you specify a relative URL, that won't work in the syndicated messages.

Thanks for responding Joe. Check out this forum link from ventrian - looks like there is an issue with the rss template for HTML output.

Lee - could you please provide the contents of the RSS templates included in the version you are using for the dotnetnuke podcasting site?
Thanks,

Hello,

The version on dotnetnukepodcast.com does not have an RSS template, the RSS template is a new feature of the News Articles module, which as you have found appears to currently have a bug for displaying HTML content.

My apologies for not being more clear. I don't know what version of New Articles your using, but the RSS.Item template for the Ventrian News Articles is the rss template I was referring to.

Yes I do not have an RSS.Item file in my version of the News Articles module so I can't share with you an RSS template for the News Articles module.

It's using version 00.07.13

I must be thick between the ears: regarding your podcasting tutorial - how do you manage to get HTML RSS content to feedburner?
(Please excuse my belaboring of this subject.)

no worries! - from what I can make out of the latest version of the News Articles module (from the forum post you linked to) there is a bug in the RSS template which is not allowing the display of HTML content, so you will not be able to send HTML content to feedburner as the RSS feed will not contain HTML content.

The only way you are going to be able to do this at the moment is to use a previous version of the News Articles module - a version before RSS templates were introduced. If you use that version, HTML will be placed in the RSS feed and feedburner will pick it up without problems.

I'm sure Ventrian will fix this soon as it's a vital feature for the module.

I have an additional question regarding the original podcast tutorial: what exactly did you update and where, to redirect the rss icon in the 'current articles' and in the article details? I have looked through the templates and haven't found anything too obvious that should be addressed to feedburner.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Dan

Hello,

It's in the Menu.Item.HTML file

< !-- Menu.Item -- >
< div class="Normal" align="center" >
    [ISSYNDICATIONENABLED]
    < span style="float: right;" >
        < a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/DotnetnukePodcast" >
            < img src="Images/rssbutton.gif" alt="25 Latest Articles" style="border-width: 0px;"/ >
        < /a >
    < /span >   
    [/ISSYNDICATIONENABLED]

00.07.52 was released today and has corrected the HTML syndication issue.
Thanks,
Dan
