Hello,
Ideally I am wanting a XML feed to be created then saved as a file so I can call the URL of the XML file to a piece of software.

I have noticed it creates a RSS feed as XML however it doesn't display the full description and not sure how to make it save to a location. Is any of this possible within Easyblog.

Thanks
hey karen,

Do you mean you would like to show full blog content under RSS feed xml URL?

If yes, you have to change this setting from backend > Easyblog > setting > general > RSS > Blog Content Taken From - Full text

Unfortunately currently that is not possible to generate a xml file and store into one of the file location.

Thanks. Is it possible to use the RSS feed and alter the content to introduce a <jobs> tag etc.
Also If I used custom fields would they display within the RSS feed as seperate fields?

Here is a PDF link to an example layout I am looking for its on page 2. https://uk.jooble.org/files/XML-feed/EN/jooble-xml-4job.pdf

Based on what i checked, it seems like Joomla RSS feed functionality doesn't allow 3rd party developer to add their custom feed tag, but you can edit this Joomla core file JoomlaFolder/libraries/src/Document/Renderer/Feed/RssRenderer.php

The Easyblog part is under this file JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/formatter/types/feeds.php

Also If I used custom fields would they display within the RSS feed as seperate fields?

Currently it doesn't show custom field data in RSS feed.

Okay thanks for your help so far. It seems how I want it to function isn't really going to work.
