After update from first public version EasyBlog5 to 5.0.14, images do not move to feed. You can check it in my blog: http://www.pasilepola.com/index.php/blogini

My RSS Feed URL is http://www.pasilepola.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=latest&format=feed&type=rss
Feedburner URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/LepolandianMajakka
Hi Pasi,

Regarding your issue with the image in rss feed page, I've fixed the issue on your site and now your feed page should display the images correctly. For the quick fix, download the attached 'view.feed.php' file and copy this file to folder JOOMLA/components/com_easyblog/views/latest/ and overwrite the existing view.feed.php file.

Hi David,
>> Arlex, are image URLs by chance hardcoded into the database?

The image url was stored in the database and the issue was caused by the img tag the src start with '//'. E.g. '//http://www.yoursite.com/images/....'. Web browser understand '//' but not feed reader. To fix this issue, I've replace the '//' to a properly image url


>> By the way, your site takes quite a while to load. I think you should highly consider optimizing it.

Thanks for feedback and your suggestion. May i know which particular pages are loading slow? We will need to fix the slow pages

Thanks and hope these help

I checked the XML; you're generating images but the URL is incorrect. Here's a sample:

http://www.pasilepola.com///www.pasilepola.com/images/easyblog_articles/2364/b2ap3_medium_IMG_2262.jpg

Unfortunately I don't know how the image URLs are generated for RSS yet, but it's a clue for SI to dive in and take a look.

Hi Pasi Lepola,

I'm really sorry that delayed of this reply,

Yes, what David point us that was the issues actually so it can't show the image properly in RSS feed page.

Can I have your following site detail and some information ?
#1. Joomla backend access
#2. FTP access
#3. Those blog post is created in Easyblog 5 or Easyblog 3.9? Or imported the blog post from some where?

Looking forward of your response.

Blog posts 17.6.2015 -22.6.2015 are made with EasyBlog5 version 5.0.5 and after that posts are made with latest EaseBlog5 releases which has been available. First missing image in newest post "Korkeasaareen, Korkeasaareen, Korkeasaareen" I understand, there is no cover photo. Next missing photos are from thumbnail module. It seems that the thumbnail module do not work in RSS feeds, but the cover images and plain images that are inserted in the text are working. Currently there is not images from image module in my blog, but I have a feeling that they are not working too.

Second post "Armi-vauvan seikkailu röntgenissä" is a good example (RSS feed image attached). Site Details are also included.

Weird, I have noticed that you have lot of login errors in different threads, maybe there is some special character problems between different languages and keyboard layouts. Lets try again. Fresh Site Details attached. Now they are triple tested.

By the way, your site takes quite a while to load. I think you should highly consider optimizing it. Check this out:

GTmetrix Performance Report

You could manually optimize your images as you upload them with some online utilities like:


JCH Optimize can potentially take care of most of your problems. There's a free and paid version; I highly recommend the paid version but you'll definitely want to take some time to learn the advanced tweaks if you're not familiar with them. Also, the stricter you optimize, the more things might break without URL exclusions, so test after optimizing.

Tips from JoomlArt
