Wordpress RSS Hack

[astromodder]

I want to use wordpress for the news section on my site, here is how I have everything set up so far:

I have wordpress installed in a directory called wordpress

I have a script called rss2html (PHP) being used to convert the rss feed to html for the website.

However, my problem is that the descriptions are cut off so the full post in wordpress is not displayed nor are the line breaks displayed. Is there a way around this or a better way to go about doing this?

If you know PHP well enough, you could edit the rss generator code to include the full post and not just the first X characters.

See I don't really know that much PHP, after using google, I have found that it is the wp-rss2.php file that generates it however I have no clue where to edit anything.

grab the php code dump it on a pastebin that will hold it for a few weeks and post the think he someone who knows php should help you out.... I'll take a look but I know next to nothing about php.

Just the php code strip the html for better reading

Here is the contents of wp-rss2.php

<?php



if (empty($wp)) {

    require_once('wp-config.php');

    wp('feed=rss2');

}



header('Content-type: text/xml; charset=' . get_settings('blog_charset'), true);

$more = 1;



?>

<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'.get_settings('blog_charset').'"?'.'>'; ?>
