I am using the RSS feeds from EasyBlog to feed another system. I am wondering if there is a setting or anyway out of the box for EasyBlog to include a blog postings 'cover photo' / main article photo in the feed for each respective item. Sometimes RSS feeds will use the '<enclosure>' tag, or a media tag to indicate that there is an attached image associated with this post.
I realize that the cover photo appears right in the start of the 'description' tag (so the cover photo is listed before the text content of the blog), but not in its own separate enclousre type tag. I can revamp my parser in the other system to extract this from the beginning, but if this functionality already exists it may be more reliable to have it from from its own tag in the RSS versus trying to parse it out from the '<description>' tag which also includes all the text.
I tried to search for an answer, figured this was something support could quickly answer with a yes/no so went ahead and asked!
