Clover13 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I have image handling set to import as attachments but it seems to link to the remote instead instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Stridgen Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 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 Clover13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

I misunderstood the enclosure part and read it as a literally enclosure of (i.e. enclosed within) the channel element 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaken Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 This post was recognized by Marc Stridgen! 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. Marc Stridgen and Clover13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
