New Component In RSS Feed That Does Not Work

[gorin-images]

I worked on my feeds today and i noticed that a new component is showing up at the bottom of each feed. It is a link that looks like it is supposed to go to the full-size image file for the post and looks like this:

20080105231305_20071021hbaw00001_web.jpg

When you click it, you just get a 404 error.

A) I don't want people to hyperlink directly to the image file itself, and

B) The link does not work

How can I checnge the RSS code to just get rid of this?

A) It's called an RSS enclosure.

B) Change your image path to ../

C) Open includes/functions_feeds.php and find

$output .= "\t<enclosure type=\"image/jpeg\" length=\"".$filesize."\" url=\"".$enclosure."\" />\n";

Add

//

to the front of

$output .= "\t<enclosure type=\"image/jpeg\" length=\"".$filesize."\" url=\"".$enclosure."\" />\n";

so it looks like this in the end:

//$output .= "\t<enclosure type=\"image/jpeg\" length=\"".$filesize."\" url=\"".$enclosure."\" />\n";

you say you "worked on your feeds", did you change something in the code?

The only "work" I did was to add the <a> code to the correct line so that hyperlinks in my actual photoblog posts show up as active hyperlinks in my feeds. This worked perfectly. I had the problem described in the original post both before, and after, I enabled hyperlinks in my feeds.

dwilkinsjr+ has this right. This looks like an RSS enclosure. I don't want to have an RSS enclosure in either of my feeds. Which code do I delete in my functions_feeds file to get rid of these enclosures?

Read dwilkinsjr+'s post (#2) again - he told you which line to go in and comment out to remove the enclosure from your feed.

Got it. Thanks. I didn't look carefully at the code. I thought he was showing me how to make the feature work...but I wanted to remove it. I now see he was showing me how to simply exclude the code.

I just decided to delete that code and it accomplished what I was looking for.
