aloisanceHi,
First, here is my WP configuration:
- Theme used: Arthemia Premium
- Extension: timthumb.php
- Name of Owner: OVH
- Website: http://www.mood-for.fr
My problem.
I try to set up a customised RSS feed with the title of each article, the first 450 characters and a thumbail. The ultimate goal is to implement this feed in MailShimp to send a "notification" e-mail to subscribers with the latest blog posts.
I just integrated the image to illustrate each section. The idea is to use the plugin as timthumb on our homepage.
To implement this RSS feed, I created a Wordpress page with a specific template. Here is the template code:
Code:
1.
<?php
2.
/*
3.
Template Name: Custom Feed newsletter daily
4.
*/
5.
6.
7.
$numposts = 10; // number of posts in feed
8.
$posts = query_posts('showposts='.$numposts.'&cat=-1'); // replace the number 1 with the ID of your tumblelog category
9.
$more = 1;
10.
11.
header("Content-Type: application/rss+xml; charset=UTF-8");
12.
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'.get_option('blog_charset').'"?'.'>';
13.
?>
14.
15.
<rss version="2.0"
16.
xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
17.
xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
18.
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
19.
xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
20.
xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
21.
xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"

</rss>Now, the flow displays a picture for each article but can not find the image file: http://www.mood-for.fr/rss-newsletter-daily/. I'm not an experienced developer, so I'm lookig for help me configure the page template to display the correct thumbail for each post, using the plugin timthumb?
Thank you in advance
