Viewing RSS Feed - Doesn't pull thumbnail photo

RSS Feed - Doesn't pull thumbnail photo



User: jacinfo 13 years ago
Hi- I can't seem to get the RSS widget to pull a photo to post. I've tried 'Image on Top' and 'Just Image' styles on a few different RSS feeds. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Can you provide me with some of the RSS feeds?

Also is this in EasyWeb or after publishing?

Hi -
Inside EasyWeb, but of course, also when published. I tried a couple different types of feeds, couldn't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Try these feeds:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/jamesaltucher?format=xml
http://feeds.feedburner.com/BrazenCareerist
http://battlebornrebel12.wordpress.com/feed/

Thanks!

Hi,

Those RSS Feeds stored images in a different format. I've made some changes to EasyWeb so the next beta release will probably get images for those feeds.

Fantastic! When will you release next beta?
Thx.

I did some more testing and although we can get the images to appear in EasyWeb, getting them appear after publishing is much more difficult. We may not be able to get this working for the first release unfortunately.

No worries, for now I can post as photo enabled as link.
Thx for looking into it.

Hi,
I was really hoping for this feature also. We have two feed that we currently use to keep recent news updated on our page.

http://www.postindependent.com/csp/mediapool/sites/SwiftShared/assets/csp/rssCategoryFeed.csp?pub=GlenwoodSprings§ionId=983§ionLabel=Rifle

Both feeds currently work on our iWeb built website, so we hope it works out for this feature in EverWeb.
EverWeb is looking pretty cool, we are excited to hopefully be using it in the future.

P.S. I read that with EverWeb you can scroll within an RSS Feeds on iDevises and other mobiles. Thank you that is Awesome!

Thanks!

Hi Paul,
Any idea when you'll have the image thumbnail issue sorted?..I have a client that needs just that functionality...
Cheers,
User: Paul-RAGESW 12 years ago
The thumbnails do appear if they are added to the feed properly. The difference with the original posters feed is that it was the first image in the feed that they wanted to show up as the thumbnail. This isn't yet supported but something we are working on.
