I need to get the Jevents rss feed to include images from the event details.
I can create a feed from the module mod_jevents_latest, everything works except the images are not included in the feed.
This is a great component but I can't find any help on the forum at http://www.jevents.net, I can't register as I never receive a confirmation email, and when I search for feed images or rss images I get no results.
I also use the The Breast Cancer Awareness RSS Syndicator component which displays images in the feeds it produces. Maybe modifying this is an option.

Joomla: v1.5.6
Jevents: component v1.5.2
Jevents module: mod_jevents_latest v1.5.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

regards,
Andrew

If your site is live, can you post or PM the RSS link so we can see what the issue is?

I just made the following change and now my images along with HTML formatting are coming through. I don't know if this will cause you other issues, so be sure to test:
.../components/com_jevents/controllers/modlatest.php
Code:
$item_description = JFilterOutput::cleanText( $item_description );

to:
Code:
//$item_description = JFilterOutput::cleanText( $item_description );


This just comments out the line that calls the JFilterOutput cleanText method:
http://api.joomla.org/Joomla-Framework/Filter/JFilterOutput.html#cleanText

Let me know if you run into more issues.

I tried this, and nothing is displayed in the feed, also I cleared the cache, in Joomla, and Firefox, still nothing showing.
At least I now know what file to look at.

Thanks,
Andrew

If you view the source of the RSS feed, you can look at the raw HTML. Do you see anything that way when that line is commented out?

Strange, in the raw html with it commented out, the text, and the image are present, yet neither appear when viewed in a browser. All that appears in Firefox is the feed title, and description.

I'll look further, I noticed that hyperlinks within the articles are not working either. (both before and after I commented the code out)

Thanks,
Andrew

Can you try adding an event with a very simple description and see if that one shows up?

Let me know what you find.
