I am using RSS FEED's content from a wordpress site to show contents in a mobile app.
However, only posts that have content show in the feed.
The posts that only have a title and no feed, do not show up.
How can I make possible for posts that don't even have a content show up in RSS2 ?
when you are creating Rss feed u might be getting empty or null values...check for those and add something like NA or anything static that would be identifibale when u parse that Rss feed.

I know the title is rough, what I mean is could you have a blog that had an RSS feed that would display your posts in an RSS reader, but the website itself doesn't have any page that showed it in blog format (of course there would need to be a link for the feed itself but that's not an easily readable format so that's ok). The only way to see the posts would be subscribing to the RSS feed, there wouldn't even be a URL you could go to that'd show it.
I want to create a RSS feed based on the Tumblr tags I use. I want to submit some of my posts to a blog syndication service. To the blog syndicator I have to provide a RSS feed. But I don't want all posts to appear there. Is there a way I can do something like this?
When I tag a post with a specific keyword: (eg: #blog) the post will
get added to the RSS feed.
If the #blog tag is not there, the post doesn't get included to the RSS feed.
OP found the answer themselves here it is:
mydomain.tumblr.com/tagged/tagx/rss
Adding /rss after a tumblr URL apparently generates an RSS feed (probably only if the blog has enabled RSS).
I'm creating some feeds of news items and such. These items have URL aliases set for them. Is there a reason why the URL alias do not get used in the RSS feed?
I have a multi-language site which uses the path aliases to show correct navigation, and so when I get a 'node' link from the feed, it breaks everything.
EDIT
I'm creating the rss feed as using views
When I do a live preview in the view the correct link is shown. So the incorrect link comes somewhere after that.
Are you creating the feeds using Views? if not you should do it. It may be happening that the code that's returning the feed is printing the links to the nodes without using the l() function so aren't being translated to the corresponding alias.
Just in case, here it's a nice tutorial about how to do a feed with Views http://drupal.org/node/314097
I like giving my users the full text RSS feed, but I also have a few sites which pull the RSS feed and link to us from it. They want me to provide the excerpt/blurbs for the articles rather than the full text. Can anyone give me some direction on how to make this happen?
It should be possible. Wordpress has multiple feed types (see WordPress Feeds) and there are hooks for each feed type (see Feed Actions API). This suggests that you should be able to set up one feed type as a partial feed, and another as a full-text feed. Basically, you'd just be re-writing one of these feed types to ignore the setting you indicated on the "Reading Settings" admin screen.
I bet this could be done w/ a pretty simple plug-in.
I have 2 custom fields in my WordPress system when creating new posts. One is called homethumb (is the title of an image) and another called description.
I would like to edit the RSS feed so it shows the image and the description rather than the complete post.
But I don't know how to do this. I would like to fetch that RSS with simple pie to integrate it on another website (sort of auto-submit system).
You also have
do_action('rss_item')
that runs in the loop for every item in the RSS feed.
Hook in to that and output anything extra you need in to the feed item.
To show the excerpt instead of the entire article, go to "reading" in Settings section of your admin menu and half way through the options there's a setting to use excerpts instead of full text.
No plugins required. Just a little custom programming.
Custom fields for Feeds Wordpress plugin
This puts images or videos into your feeds through the use of custom
fields. You can alter the custom field Keys and what is displayed.
Update 11/27/2015: The plugin is old, but the site says it still works
I found some tutorials on how to add things to your rss reader, so I fixed this.
it's in french -> http://www.webinventif.fr/wordpress-ajouter-du-contenu-dans-son-flux/
Here is another option if you want to display anything other than images and videos in your feed: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss-custom-fields/
All of your custom fields will now be displayed in your feed.
Further options to be able to select which custom fields display in a feed will be available in subsequent releases of the plugin!
