Meant to post this before now (stinking busy life).
Following stingrey's directions above you can get your URL's to start working.
In /components/com_rss/rss.php
Line
233 (This is the line number in Joomla_1.0.8-Stable).
Replace
Code: Select all
// $item_description = mosHTML::cleanText( $item_description );
with
Code: Select all
// Removed to allow URLS to be included as active links in feeds.
// $item_description = mosHTML::cleanText( $item_description );
My links are now being rendered as links within the feeds so I am happy there.
** The only glitch I see to this method now is that any {mosimage} references are not translated into links to image files. They actually show up as '{mosimage}' in the feeds. Not a big deal for now since you can post images in normal html style if you want them to show up there anyway. For me the links were a bit more important and the stats from FeedBurner are showing a good bit of clickthrough.
this post may need to be moved to core hacking now?
