No worries. I was having a bad morning and that came across in my reply.

I do appreciate all your help!

One thing I was noticing in some RSS descriptions, the feed contained html and images. Those images then appear in the feed widget.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to have a switch which allowed someone to filter the html and images out of the description and only return text. Most of the examples I've seen of images in descriptions were all wrapped in html tags.

Just a thought.

You da man! Thanks I appreciate it. Also, thanks for dealing with my crazy mind seeing things! LOL! Could have swore that image was in item.

Looks like the 2.0 spec for media items in the item is media.

You're right. I missed that. There is no image in the item. I really need to stop doing 3 things at once.

I could have swore that I've seen image per item. But as you pointed out, and I missed, there is no image in item.

Arrr.

Thanks for adding the image in the channel. That will work well for me as the feed image.

You're correct, in the particular RSS feed I gave you the image is part of the channel. That was my mistake, I should've given you an example where the image was part of the item.

You can see here the full spec. It would be great to have all the options.

I could add more options if I knew how to get into the second level via the code (described above) or another option.

I haven't taken a look at your modification yet, but if you didn't modify it for the image inside the item, then I still need to figure that out.

Edit: if you guys are doing an RSS reader, might as well add all the options. There aren't that many and it makes the reader more robust.

Well with the image you turn a boring text feed into a faux news article(s).

When I'm done with the project I'll send you the link.

Thanks again for adding that to the module.

Nice. Having that image makes the feed reader really powerful for adding content to a site.
