I'm sure you are aware that right now if an article contains a remote image the thumbnail isn't generated and the article title is displayed instead. I would greatly appreciate full functionality. If it is not possible to create thumbnails from remote images perhaps you can allow for them by just showing a resized original image. And if that can't happen maybe the ability to turn automatic thumbnail generation off. Thanks.

Yes, it's not possible at this point. Even reverting back to showing resized images turned out to be more than a simple challange. We will let you guys know if we find a solution for this. _________________ Merav Founder, Product Designer iJoomla.com

I was able to get remote images to show up correctly by removing some code. I thought about using mod_rewrite to change the code but I elected to go with the below instead.

At the bottom of news_portal.html.php you will see the below function.

Code:

function get_link_first_image_link($row) {
   global $mosConfig_absolute_path, $mosConfig_live_site;

   if ($row!='') {
      $link=$row;

Notice that my

Code:

link=$row

only contains the row value.

That's how I got the remote images to work,

NOTE:

I am not using local images and I'm using feedgator to feed the rss. This is not a hack it's just a small code change. Use at your own risk and I'm sure you will make a back up of the file prior to any changes.

This change is not endorsed by anybody at iJoomla. I hope this works for you until iJoomla comes up with something it has for me.

- Cheers
