I set up an rss views feed because I need to move some node content from one site to another. I ran in to a problem though. When i use the standard rss plugin it puts all the event dates and expiration date and my description field into the rss feed. However, no matter what I do I can't get the Media rss feed to grab those things too. All it does is grab the image field I want and grab the title. I need more though.... Is there something I"m doing wrong?

If you click on the cog next to where you choose 'media rss' on the view settings, you can change it from showing just title to showing the full text.

The field is in the teaser/body section called 'Display type'

I have tested using the this using the event module 6.x-2.x-dev and media rss 6.x-2.7

Hope this helps,
Peter

Ok I did what you said. I picked full text plus pics and I'm still only getting a title and an image.... So what's the deal?

After quite alot of just starring at the code and looking at your feed and website I realized the problem. You are using CCK content which is not part of the nodes 'body' but added afterwards. However media RSS did not tell CCK to add its content to the body at an point.

I have added this in so that you can display the CCK fields however this means it will also display the image as part of the 'body' and so will not need to be added again in 'Display type'.

After using this file it will create a body according to the settings for the 'content type' which can be edited for RSS by going to: Content types > edit node type > Display Fields tab > RSS tab

This should fix your problem however I wont be releasing yet as its still to finalized.

For speed and due to the fact this is could be quite a major issue for others as well as yourself, I have committed to CVS a newer version (6.x-2.9) in which you can enable other modules to edit the node content.

Now under the 'display type' field in the media rss settings is checkbox to allow this.

Hope this works for you,
Peter
