Change RSS feed output was created by Uzi

Hello,

Is it possible to change the RSS feed output? I am trying to get it working in a certain environment but the feed output needs to be changed. Instead of putting the items in a items field, I want it to directly output the items in the channel.

K2 uses Joomla's feed parser, which means you can get ?format=feed&type=rss or ?format=feed&type=atom.

If these don't fit what you need, I recommend you grab the json output ?format=json, json_decode it and then do whatever you want with the data. Much better imho.

Ok thanks. Isn't there a way to override the RSS feed, because it's exactly what I need, but I need to remove one parent entry so it gets loaded in correctly in my third party app.

EDIT: Also the ?format=json doesn't load. It just keeps spinning, but it never shows something. You sure that is the right call?

You can't override how RSS/Atom are produced without modifying core K2 views.

As for JSON, it works just fine, e.g.: getk2.org/blog?format=json

That view is available for categories/tags/users (any itemlist) and items only. Perhaps you were testing a different view (e.g. "latest from X").

Just enable full-text inclusion for feeds in the "Content" tab under the K2 settings.

Hi Fotis,

First of all, Thanks for the quick reply. While i'm checking the k2 settings under "Content" tab full-text inclusion already enabled and i guessed the actually problem. I set "Item Introtext word limit" to "15" once i removed that i'm getting full description in my rss url.

Thanks for the tip. [It help me to where to look. ]

Hello,

Back again because I decided to just hack the core if there isn't a user friendly solution available. Can you point me in what file I need to be to change the RSS output?

That would be Joomla. I don't recommend so.

Why not use ?format=json in K2 URLs and simply grab ALL the data that K2 outputs? Much better compared to RSS/Atom feeds.
