?Enclosure tags and feed images

Joined: 13 Mar 2006 Posts: 2

Sorry for the basic question but this is baffling me...

I'm trying to display the pictures that go along with my posts on a RSS feed using RSS2HTML. The RSS file is created by wordpress. It's located at http://www.theseminal.com/wordpress/?feed=rss2. The web page that is using RSS2HTML is located at http://www.theseminal.com/feedtest.php.

Now, the templete I'm using is set to display images like this:

Code:
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?	? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ~~~ItemDescription~~~ ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

The RSS output from wordpress by default looks like this:

Code:

? ?

? ? ? ?
? ? ? ?

Red leaf
This is some text that will wrap around the image that sits on the right side of the text that you are writing about the leaf that is there. That is, if you are writing about leaves in the first place and you want to write about this specific leaf.

Now, I understand this might not be right. But I don't understand how to use the enclosure tag to make this work. I tried copying some of your templetes and adding that code into the RSS output file to get something like:

Code:

? ?

? ? ? ?
? ? ? ?

But that didn't work. Where is the problem? How should I format my RSS feed to export enclosure tags correctly and how should I set up the templete to display the images correctly?

Anyone's help is greatly appreciated. This script is just what I need! I hope I can get it to work.

That looks right, if your enclosure is a image.

That is all in the "" tag and is a lot of work for and tags that won't actually do anything to show an image.

A lot of that is "junk" and will never do any thing. But your real problem is that there is no enclosre specified. And if you don't specify an enclosre, ~~~ItemEnclosureUrl~~~ will never have a value.
