In your admin panel under Options you can:

Set the size of the images

and

Decide how many images should be displayed within your RSS and ATOM feeds.

Hello. When you say "Set the size of the images" do you mean "Select the style of the RSS/ATOM feed:
- show text only
- show thumbnails only
- show thumbnails
- show full size pictures"

???????????????

AND

I got problem using ALL OF THIS SETTINGS EXCEPT "show text only" - they don't work for me. Any idea how to get working all other.

Yes, by setting the style, you can change the output of your RSS and ATOM feeds a couple different ways.

http://public.dwilkinsjr.com/pixelpost/forumFiles/rss_settings_160.jpg


Show text only -

Using this option will display your photos description and title only. No images will be displayed.


Show thumbnails only -

Using this option will display your photos thumbnails and title only. Your photos description will be displayed.


Show thumbnails -

Using this option will display your photos thumbnails, title, and description.


Show full size pictures -

Using this option will display your photos fullsize image, title and description.



As for the number of items in the feedlist:

Setting this to 10 will show your ten most recent photos within your RSS and ATOM feeds. Setting this to 3 will show your three most recent photos and so on. . .

Currently, these are the only admin settable options you have for your RSS and ATOM feeds.

Yes, you have a problem with your feed:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Foneye.eu%2Findex.php%3F x%3Drss

you have an image called thumb_20070510221615_father&son.jpg

the & in thumb_20070510221615_father&son.jpg is causing the problem.

You will have to remove the & from your filename by re-uploading this image using the edit menu.

I had this same problem. I deleted the file with the & sign and renamed it and reuploaded it. Now I have an intermittent problem with my RSS feed. Sometimes it works sometimes it fails with errors (I'm using netvibes). When I use a validator it shows the following:
Sorry

This feed does not validate.

*

line 4, column 0: Undefined root element: HTML [help]

<HTML>

*

line 10, column 2: XML parsing error: <unknown>:10:2: mismatched tag [help]

</HEAD>
^

In addition, this feed has an issue that may cause problems for some users. We recommend fixing this issue.

*

Feeds should not be served with the "text/html" media type [help]

If I hit the validate button again it shows its valid. Do I need to do something else it fix it besides delete the file with the & sign in it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..

Your feed validates fine:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fphoto.dotbackslash.com% 2Findex.php%3Fx%3Drss

Removing the file with the & sign should be all that is needed.

The errors you are receiving are odd as pixelpost does not include the <head></head> elements within its feeds. Your feedreader does this and it's probably doing it incorectly.

Thanks. I believe you are right. I think it is netvibes that is having the problem. Thanks again for looking into it for me.

Hi!

Is there any way to show the 'full size photo' with title only? I don't really want the long description because on my rss, it seems to not recognise spaces, break and img_real_mc_source codes for other images that i upload.

Or even, shortening the description that shows on the RSS? For example, instead of long description, it shows the first para and 'read more...'?

Please check my rss feed here (http://www.maegabriel.com/riceandnoodles/index.php?x=rss).

I have v1.6. Your help is appreciated.
