Is it possile to turn it off trough PHP adjustments?
Because on the RSS loader whe use, its not that user-friendly.

Thank you for looking in to this

Hey Christian,

The only way right now is to enforce "stripping of html tags" when the RSS feed is being output on the site. You can edit the file /components/com_easyblog/views/latest/view.feed.php and at line 112 locate the codes below:


$item->description = $image . $post->getIntro();


Replace it with,


$item->description = $image . $post->getIntro(true);

Hey Rob,

It's tricky because in your case, you only want to hide the download but other people might want something else

No No, i think whe have a mis-communication.

I still want the download link there, but to remove the file details like this:

pdf
filename: 3koningenzingen2016.pdf
fileSize: 235 kb

download file

to

download file

And I meantion in the post itself what the download file is, so the users dont need to know what the size and the filename is
Thanks,
Rob

Hey Rob,

Hm, this is actually configurable in the block properties if you want to disable the file size, http://screencast.com/t/WuP0zpiuuLC8

Hey Mark,

I already tried that, only it didnt work out, so i taught it was meant for something else.
And on that point I came here asking for another method

Here is a printscreen with the settings enabled but the output stayes the same. (sorry for the other langauge of easyblog, I hope you understand the image )

Maybe its a bug then?

Thank you for looking in to it

Hey Christian,

Hm, but you wanted to hide the file size? After hiding the file size, do you mean the file size is still appearing? Unfortunately you can't hide the "File name"

Yeah thats sort of my problem,

My bad, I explained it not that well.
I turned of these options, and in the website itself the file-size is indeed away. http://prntscr.com/9mo9ct and that is fine
But in the RSS Feed, the file size stays there, http://prntscr.com/9mo9ma (maybe a bug?)

But is it possible, to hide the filesize (and maybe if its possible the filename to?) in the RSS feed.

RSS Feed link: http://www.doelakkers.nl/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=categories&id=16&format=feed&type=rss

I hope you understand it now Thank you for your help

Hi Christian,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply.

I just had a quick look on the source code and it seems like it using javascript to hide it by injecting a css "hide" class inside the html instead of using pure php to remove the html code and the hiding method will not work correctly in rss feed view since it will ignore the css formatting. Refer my screenshot here, http://screencast.com/t/zdI1XHAt .

Base on that unfortunately it is not possible to hide it in rss feed view currently without losing the formatting of your blog content.

But thank you for looking in to this

Hey Christian,

We'll see what we can do in future revisions I will try to include the ability to re-render the output of the download just like some of the other blocks so that we can control what needs to be output

Is it possible that we can know when/or this is available?
Because otherwise we need to edit the codes ourselves. (Maybe with the help of you guys?)

A.T.M. We can't give our customer an awnser on this question

Kind Regards,
Rob

Hello Mark,

I meant this, you said that you will look into it, and maybe will put the 're-render', in the next update. My question is now:
Will there be an update with this 're-render' option? Or do we need to program it ourselves?

Kind regards
Rob

I would like to get an update about this ticket, I just checked it, and it doesn't work yet.

And if this update is not yet possible, Is there an possibility to change the codes ourselves? (with your help, we don't know where the file is located that we need to change)

Kind regards,

Rob

Hello Mark,

I will explain the whole question/feature again, because this ticket is not clear anymore.

We make a RSS feed of our posts, and in some of these posts have an PDF file in them.
We have checked a setting in EasyBlog, that removes the details of the PDF file.
That works fine on the website ( Because there is a "hidden" css class, that removes these details.)
But in our RSS feed, that "hidden" class, doesn't work.

My question is:
Can you let the PHP-file reformat the post, so that in our RSS feed, the details (of the PDF file) won't show either.
And if that is not possible in the "official version of EasyBlog", Can you help us to adjust the output of the RSS feed ourselves?

I hope you understand my problem.

Kind Regards
Rob

Hey there,

Noted, I get what you mean now. Can you download the attached file and upload it into /administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/blocks/handlers/ and see if this behavior is correct?

Hello Mark,

No sorry, I still get the data information in my RSS feed.

pdf
Filename: file.pdf
Filesize: 140kb
Download file

Could that information be in the RSS feed:

Download file

I still see the "hide" class on the website, that would be gone to if that adjustment works? Or doesn't it?

Thank you for looking in to it!
Rob

Can you please start a new thread on our forums,

1. Include the FTP access
2. Provide us with the link to the feed page.
3. Provide us with the back end access
