RSS Aggregator & enclosures

[Tscherno]

Hi,

i'm using the RSS Aggregator Plugin to parse my Stumble Upon Comments to fill my Blog. I've just seen that stumbleupon is now putting a little thumbnail as enclosure into the feed:
http://www.stumbleupon.com/syndicate.ph ... comments=1

Is it possible to use them with the plugin and put it also in each blog post?

Hi!

Not really. You would need to patch the plugin to check those XML fields, and put it into whatever field you might need/want.

The core problem is that enclosed XML elements use the value as an attribute, and not as a XML field value. This is really an abuse of how XML should be used like; Onyx and other parsers really give you trouble when fetching attributes. Otherwise, you would just have added $item['enclosure'] to the $entry['body'] field and be happy with...
