RSS feed images

[natrlhy]

I'm trying to figure out how to show the image in the feed. I've tried $_thumb after the user settings area but got an error.

How do I get a thumbnail image to appear in the RSS feed?

Where and what would I place in the default rss_lastadded.php file?

It's been awhile, but I think you had to basically create an IMG tag in the description part of the RSS feed.

I know I did it early on, but have not done much with it since...

If anyone has an example of the IMG tag for the RSS feeds, I'd love to give it a shot in implementing it with my RSS feed testing.

Thanks!

I've tried adding the following to the rss_lastadded.php file:

$rssItemDescription = "%f from album %a<br/>%c<br/>Rated %V / 5 stars (%v votes total)<br/> img src="/cfimagege
t.php"";

and I am getting this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /path/to/rss_lastadded.php on line 28

I just updated to the latest cpmfetch 2.1.1 dev build and got it configured. I modified the settings in the // THESE SPECIFY THE INFORMATION USED IN YOUR FEED section and other than that, after updating from 2.0.0 to 2.1.1, I can now see the images in the RSS feed.

Thanks to majfvalk for his IM reply for this tip!
