RE:CMSPages\NewsRss

Hello,

You can find the file itself in your project folder (most probably located in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<web_project_folder>). You will need to adjust the Repeater's transformation which is cms.news.rssitem by default. You can find it in Site Manager -> Development -> Document types -> Edit (News) -> Transformations tab. Please see how to manage transformations: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/writing_transformations.htm

Anyway, in latest version 5.5 there are integrated webparts which serves for generating RSS feeds and Atom feeds. Please take a look at those webparts in our Developer's Guide: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/syndication_web_parts.htm. They are also described in more details in the Webpart reference: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/webparts/KenticoCMS_WebParts.htm.

Best regards
Ondrej Vasil

RE:CMSPages\NewsRss

Hello Ondrej,
thanks a lot for your support, i found what you told me, and the instructions to manage trasformations, but i still can't display images on my news rss.

Actually my rss item is

<item>
<guid isPermaLink="true"><![CDATA[<%# GetAbsoluteUrl(GetDocumentUrl()) %>]]></guid>
<title><![CDATA[<%# Eval("NewsTitle") %>]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<%# Eval("NewsSummary") %>]]></description>
<pubDate><%# Convert.ToDateTime(Eval("NewsReleaseDate")).ToString("r") %></pubDate>
<link><![CDATA[<%# GetAbsoluteUrl(GetDocumentUrl()) %>]]></link>
</item>

Could you tell me the steps to add the news related image in this item?
Thanks.

RE:CMSPages\NewsRss

Hello,

The images can be included in the feed like this:

<img alt="SomeAlt" src="<%# GetFileUrl("NewsTeaser") %>" />

as can be seen e.g. in similar thread.

more examples of linking/displaying images in transformations can be found in the transformation editor context help (link to Examples under the editing window).

Hope this will help.

Regards,
Zdenek
