Include excerpt in feed?

Question

I find there is a "Include full text in feeds:" option in the "RSS feeds" configuration panel. I am wondering whether there is an options/method to only show excerpt instead of the "full text" or nothing for RSS feeds?

Thanks!

Answer 1

"Include full text in feeds" is option of displaying "description node". Strict expression is "Include description node in feeds". In order to excerpt content, you may have to hack qa-include/qa-feed.php(L402 [V1.5.4]). Q2A-Api(qa-include/qa-util-string.php/qa_shorten_string_line()) is helpful.

Thanks for directing me to the line in the code! sama55. I was thinking about writing a plugin to overwrite certain functions. But after checking the qa-feed.php, I must say hacking it is a better choice. I made a copy of the qa-feed.php to qa-feed-excerpt.php and change the qa-index.php to make the new php file to handle the rss feed request.
