Hi,

It would be good if RSS Feeder would strip Mambot tags out of content before including it in the feed files. For example my feed items are coming up with Sidebars tags displaying. These tags contribute nothing to the feed data and in fact look dreadful and unprofessional. I would have expected that this matter would have been attended to before RSS Feeder was released.

Tony, are you sure there are no settings to remove Mambot tags in RSS Feeder? iJoomla's Search & Archive has something in the settings to deal with just this issue? Granted, it is clumsy and doesn't handle globals, but nonethless - it is there.

Merav, if you do fix the mambot problem, could you explore a global setting? For Search & Archive, we have to specify every single {sidebar ...}. If you use a similar approach with RSS Feeder, we will have the same problem. 

Why not have a switch that says Sidebars On/Off? The programming could use regular expressions to account for variances like {sidebar id=999} or {sidebar id=999 align=left} or {sidebar id=999 align=right}.

This would be a big timesaver and avoid the rechecking that goes on whenver we create a new sidebar and/or feed.

By the way, when do you expect a new release of RSS Feeder?

Thanks,
Sharon

How about we ignore all mambots? everything that starts with { and ends with } ?

Not sure, it's the holidays, probably a week or two after.

I had second thoughts on this. Would there be conflicts with other components that use braces "{}" in their operations? What about Moset and jomComments, for example? Some sites may have mosimage in their legacy files.

Maybe a better solution would be to specify what should be included?

Just wondering,
Sharon

Any update on this? I use Multithumb and it relies up the {multithumb} tag in content -- something I'd like to strip out of the RSS feed.

Stripping out all mambot tags would be one solution, but I want to keep images in my feed (another area that could use a little polish -- the current images implementation is hit and miss, at best).

9 months later.... I noticed that my feed contains {include_content_item 43}

Now, the programmer of those fantastic plugins has already a solution to ignore PHPdirect, jumi, and other tags in Joomla's core RSS renderer:

We are working on it. Every new development was stalled because of the 1.5 conversion that took most of our time.
