Editorn Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Hi, When using a RSS for newsletters and/or exports to partners, we'd like to include an image (when available) for records in the RSS. Preferably it would fetch the image as follows: Pages: From the record image, and not images published via the text editor.Downloads: The uploaded screenshot for a fileBlogs: Feature Photo (the feature photo of a blog post)Forum topic & Forum posts: The fist image published in a post, if available (low priority from my point of view) (I don't have Gallery, so I can't comment on that, even if it makes sense to offer images in Gallery feeds as well) I believe it also would make sense to use thumbnail images when available, instead of potentially too large fulls-size images in the RSS feed.

opentype Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 RSS doesn’t really have a native feature for this. But feed readers like Feedly don’t need it anyway. They will crawl the target page and use the Open Graph image from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Actually, I did some research and RSS has an enclosure tag which can be used to link to media. We'll review this suggestion further for a major release. media and ASCB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Editorn Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Better late than never, but we'd like to express our gratitude for implementing this feature – it is working perfectly now. Using RSS for generating newsletters and getting an image when aggregating with other news sources with images looks wonderful. Thanks for listening Edited February 5, 2021 by Editorn Matt, bfarber and Daniel F 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
