Hi,

I'm using Joomla's mod_syndicate to generate a RSS Feed. Everything works fine, but I would prefer to hide the e-mail address of my users. Is this possible?

Bump for this question.

Is there an option to hide
Code:
<author>name@myemail.com (My Name)</author>

in the RSS Feed? I don't want to be spammed because I'm using Joomla's standard RSS-module.

In global config, You could set "site email" as feed email. It's not hiding the email, but it displays the site's email instead of the different authors' email addresses.

Displaying the site e-mail moves the spam problem from the individual user to the site e-mail. Is it really not possible to hide the e-mail address altogether?

I would like to remove the emails from syndication feeds too.

I looked at the code for mod_syndicate, including mod_syndicate.php but can't see where to make changes.

Any help much appreciated

Changing the "Site Setting" in Global Configuration, so that "Feed Email" is "Site email" (rather than author email) helps a little bit. But as noted above it really just means that the site email will now be publicly available and be spammed.

Does anyone know of a full solution to this to take the email address and author name out of the joomla RSS feeds. I've looked through the code (but am none technical) and couldn't see anything.

Thanks

The simple solution is to install Ninja RSS. It will take over Joomla's RSS feeds and offer you many more options for controlling what shows up in the feeds... email, author name, images, etc.

And there is no need to publish any modules either. Simply installing the Ninja RSS component will suffice. The browser RSS buttons will be controlled by Ninja RSS.

Hope that helps.

Reading the extension review of Ninja it sounds like they won't completely eliminate an email address either and the owners reason was RSS feeds require email addresses to be a valid RSS feed, and they don't want to purposely make in valid RSS feeds. See

http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... #rev-68409 to see Ninja's response to this same inquiry.

What's weird is I just installed Ninja to test, and it will in fact let you remove the email address. So does that mean it let's you make invalid RSS feeds, or is an email not required now?

I just did it.

I tried Ninja RSS - but was going to take too long to configure.

Here's your fix.

Code:
/public_html/libraries/joomla/document/feed/renderer/rss.php (do atom too)


Code:
         if ($data->items[$i]->authorEmail!="") {
            $feed.= "         <author>".htmlspecialchars($data->items[$i]->authorEmail . ' - ' .
                              $data->items[$i]->author . '', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8')."</author>\n";
         }


Replace exactly with this:

Code:
            $feed.= "         <author>".htmlspecialchars($data->items[$i]->author . '', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8')."</author>\n";
         }



Result:

For the time being (Joomla 1.523), and just in case someone is looking for this fix, this is what I needed to do. Went to /public_html/libraries/joomla/document/feed/renderer/rss.php and commented the following:

Code:
/* if ($data->items[$i]->authorEmail!="") {
            $feed.= "         <author>".htmlspecialchars($data->items[$i]->authorEmail . ' (' .
                              $data->items[$i]->author . ')', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8')."</author>\n";
         } */


and for atom.php

Code:
/* if ($data->items[$i]->authorEmail!="") {
               $feed.= "      <email>".htmlspecialchars($data->items[$i]->authorEmail, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8')."</email>\n";
            }
            $feed.= "      </author>\n";
         } */

Hi all, is there any solution for hiding the email address in the rss feed for 1.7 ??

I've been trying all possible ways but always ending up with errors.....

I'm guessing lots of other Joomla 1.7 users are looking for this solution too.

Many thanks if anyone's got the answer ^^

            }
            $feed.= "      </author>\n";
         } */


Here is a slightly more elaborate solution, retaining the author AND passing the feed validation check on http://validator.w3.org/feed/

See the zip archive attached - compare the "Original" with the "Modified" files to see the changes.
