Add the body text to your rss feed

Warning: This item is marked as outdated.

This How-to applies to: Plone 2.1.x
This How-to is intended for: Integrators, Customizers

Explains how to edit your rss_template to include the body of each rss feed item. (ie, the body of the news item in addition to the title/description).

This is very simple, I first got the start off from http://tomster.org/blog/archive/2004/08/17/full-rss-feeds-for-plone , but that was for an earlier version of plone.

First, go to your Zope Management (under "site setup"), and goto portal_skins/plone_templates. There you should see rss_template. This is the file that generates the xml for your rss feed for every item that you enable syndication for.

Next, go down to the "Item" section and find the description tag. After </description> add this line: 

  <content:encoded 
       xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" 
       tal:content="structure python: obj_item.getText()">blah</content:encoded>

That's it! Now your body will be after the <content><encoded_p> tags in your xml rss feed! Apply this info to your rss parser/aggregator and you're good to go!
