Hey Guys,

I may be jumping the gun, because I know this is a work in progress, but I wanted to get your input on what it happening. Currently, when you select 'itunes RSS Feed', your only choice for row style is 'node'. In my node and on my page view, I have a title, date, speaker, body, image, and taxonomy. Therefore, my feed is displaying all of these components. Is it possible to choose what fields the feed displays?

Thanks.

Hello, for the moment no, no custom display, only custom tags.

I am looking for the same functionality. Would be great if a certain cck field can be used instead of the whole body content for the itunes description.

Ideally we should be able to choose which fields are displayed and in what order, and choose the formatters. This would require to have, for the Views style "iTunes RSS Feed", a "fields" line style and not only a node style. So there's quite a lot of rewriting involved and let's see what Drewish says.

You could edit the page display and set those field independently of the RSS feed view... You can also edit the view and add a filter to only show certain nodes.

If I'm oversimplifying this please re-open the issue.

Hi Drewish,

Yes sorry I'm gonna be the bad guy and re-open ! My concern is not the web page output, indeed it can (and should) be done with another view, we don't need iTunes modules for this.

I think what Poeio, me and maybe others need, is to customize the description tag of the RSS feed. See for instance the podcast we are producing now and its feed : http://www.insu.cnrs.fr/co/ama09/podcast/itunes

In description I have the whole node output including filefields, imagefields, ... But I only would like to output a plain text here, for example taken from a CCK field which I could call "summary".

My podcast and this iTunes module are targeted for iTunes, so what really needs to be fixed is to be able to map itunes:summary (and there's the issue for that). So for me it's a minor issue, but yes it would be nice to have a clean RSS description tag as well, for example for people using the wrong client and displaying the feed in their web browser for instance (without any podcast plugin).

guix stated more clearly what I am looking for as well. It's not the display on the site itself, it's the feed. I know itunes only pulls out exactly what it needs, but not everyone is using itunes or something similar.

Either way, thanks for the module. If you don't think this is worth fixing, I'll understand.
