Hi,

I have a Drupal site with feeds that are currently supplying Titles Plus Teaser. I would ideally like Full Text.

I also purchased the Drupal book by Robert T Douglass which says on page 29, " The settings for your site's RSS feeds are straighforward, enabling you to determine the maximum number of iterms that will be listed in your feeds, as well as to choose the format for the individual feed items. The format choices include Title Only, Titles Plus Teaser, and Full Text."

Could somebody please tell me where to set this in 4.6 - it is killing me.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

The book was written to the 4.7 branch as it stood at the beginning of October. That means that while most of the things written apply well to 4.6, some things don't. Here is the aggregator settings screen in 4.6:

Aggregator settings in Drupal 4.6

Aggregator settings in Drupal 4.6

and here is the same page in 4.7:

Aggregator settings in Drupal 4.7

Aggregator settings in Drupal 4.6

Both are found under the path admin/settings/aggregator.

Thanks for the reply - much appreciated. I am talking about supplying content, not aggregating it, unless I am confused as usual. Is there a way in 4.6 to tell RSS to feed Titles Only, Titles & Teaser, Full Text so that other aggregators can get the whole article if required?

Thanks again.

Page 29 indeed covers Syndication instead of Aggregation.

And now that you mention it, you're right! There don't seem to be any syndication settings in 4.6.x :S

You might consider upgrading to 4.7 RC1, or if you're like me (waiting for final release & some modules) you can "config" your RSS settings by editing includes/common.inc. Look for the line that says * Format a single RSS item..

Sorry to have answered the wrong question. The answer has already been given by the other poster; 4.6 doesn't have this feature.

I want to increase the default number of items to include in a feed

Clicking Administer/Settings and selecting "RSS feed settings" shows a drop down selection for max number of items per feed.

In 4.7 the max number of items per feed is 30 from the drop down box.

Any way to make that larger (1000?) (300?) ?
Thanks,

I found the way to increase items per feed in 4.7.x

Follow good back up and commenting practice on files/system!
- Edit system.module
- Seach for text "items per feed"
- Add new value to array list (I added 999)

'#options' => drupal_map_assoc(array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 999)),

- Save and go to Administer/Settings and selecting "RSS feed settings" to see change. Select your new number.
- I think you may have to either wait for or manually run the cron.php job for the feeds to reflect new items per feed number.

Go to "modules/system/system.admin.inc" and search for "30", first result should be the RSS properties. Simply insert a number (or multiple) of your choice, comma separated.
