Our RSS feed always includes the full text of all blog entries, although I have configured to use the introtext only.

BTW: There is a typo in the German word "Einleitugnstext" (should be "Einleitungstext").

Introtext is generated by truncating the blog post (2 paragraphs, <p>).

Any ideas how I can have a rss feed only containing the title or title and some text only?

Best regards
Mark
Hi,

Please advise what is the solution to this. We also have RSS set for Introtext but it shows the entire blog. We are using version 3.9.15218 of EasyBlog.

Thx,
Rainman

Hello Rainman,

If you have set it to introtext, you need to use the "introtext" button in the editor. It will add a line to separate between the intro and the full content.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure I follow you. I go to EasyBlog --> Settings --> Workflow --> RSS and I set the "Use Introtext or Fulltext" field to Introtext and then copy the RSS URL and paste into Mailchimp. Not sure what editor button you are referring to.

Thx,
Rainman

Hi Rainman,

Mark talks about the article editor (for example, JCE) where you can insert a "read more"-line with a special button. It will insert a
<textarea disabled="true" style="border: none;background-color:white;">
<p><hr id="system-readmore" /></p>
</textarea>
in your html code. Or you can manually insert this line where you want the RSS text to stop.

Regards,
Mark

Yep, that's correct Mark. You need to use the read more button beneath your WYSIWYG form

Sorry, I am still confused. I create the blogs and then enable RSS and change to Introtext. Then I create a RSS campaign in Mailchimp that looks like what I have below. It basically tells Mailchimp to send out an email that shows the latest 10 blogs and also show date, author, title and the content of each blog. That RSS feed should only send Introtext for the tag "CONTENT". However, if the user goes to blog.domain.com they should see the entire blog on the page.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*|FEEDBLOCK:http://blog.domain.com/latest?format=feed&type=rss|*

*|FEEDITEMS:[$COUNT=10]|*

*|FEEDITEM:DATE|*
*|FEEDITEM:AUTHOR|*
*|FEEDITEM:TITLE|*
*|FEEDITEM:CONTENT|*

*|END:FEEDITEMS|*

*|END:FEEDBLOCK|*

Hello,

What my colleague means is you can use the Read more button in the editor while creating the blog post. : http://screencast.com/t/7BWy9GfYTom .

Ahhh.....Now I see. :-)

So, there is no way to make the blog show full text while the RSS feed only sows Introtext?

Thx,

Hello,

Yes, it is not possible unless you use the Readmore button.
