Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 14, 20231 yr I have image handling set to import as attachments but it seems to link to the remote instead instead.
May 15, 20231 yr It would depend on if the source actually has it as an image on its feed, or if its part of the content. Do you have a link we could take a look at?

May 15, 20231 yr The feed there isnt adding these in the enclosure tag as it should be, so they wouldnt be shown. Its using its own custom namespace rather than that of the RSS standard

Its using its own custom namespace rather than that of the RSS standard Just to clarify, the IPS impl requires the optional image sub-element of channel to be populated in order to import the images per the setting I screenshot, rather than a feed provider using their own (generally yahoo) media namespace?

It would need to be an enclosure as seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_enclosure

I misunderstood the enclosure part and read it as a literally enclosure of (i.e. enclosed within) the channel element 🙂
May 19, 20231 yr This post was recognized by Marc! Schaken was awarded the badge 'Helpful' and 5 points. I personally use https://rss.app/ and it does a very good job. you can have a bunch of different RSS setups for free and it has a RSS builder. I have used it for about 4 years now. To add to that I made an app that web crawls the RSS site and grabs the content more to my needs and rebuilds my forum post that way I want AFTER the RSS has been initially grabbed. RSS is REALLY cool, but using API's and Webhooks are way better when you are able to use them.
