Title: RSS block can't show any images [Solved by a third party method]
Post by: drroot on October 20, 2009, 10:08:25 PM
e.g. a feed with photos:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/DigitalPhotographySchool

But they can't show with my TP block.

It would seem that the images don't show up when viewing a feed directly depending on the browser you use. From what I can guess, is that you should use a third party rss reader to manage your feeds. Then you can stick that in a block and use it. TP's RSS has needed some TLC for quite some time I think. You can try something like this if you like. http://www.rss2html.com/

Thanks, IceBin.
I've tried http://www.rss2html.com/
But I got
"XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 7"

I used opera to display some of the feeds in this topic, and quite liked what it did with the them. Whereas Firefox natively showed only links in some, images in others, Opera seemed to show images in all.

But back to TP, I have added support for more tags from feeds, so it behaves more like Opera now: images scale down if you use narrow widths, for example inside the left-panel.

This feature will be added to TP v1.0 beta 5.
