Thread:Project:Support desk/Showing images into RSS feeds

To whom it may concern,

I posted this a week ago here Extension talk for RSS and it the same problem as described here Sanitizer fails to include image tags if incorrectly written as closed/void tags, but I will post it here in hopes that someone will see it an be able to help me out.

I have RSS feed	2.25.0 installed, with a MediaWiki 1.23.5.

I am trying to get images to be shown in RSS feeds that I have added to a Wiki and I have not figured it out.

So lets say I create a Wiki page for an organisation that also has a Facebook page. Lets say Wikipedia has a Facebook page.

Through findmyfacebookid.com I find out that Wikipedia's Facebook ID is 33138223345.

I can add that number to the back of https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= to get https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=33138223345 which is the RSS feed of Wikipedia on Facebook.

so far so good,

now I go back to my wiki and add that feed between -tags, so it shows as such https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=33138223345

and it looks pretty good, except when there are images included in the RSS feed posts, they are not shown, just a html code is shown

e.g. this image



of Armenia's Wiki Camp shows up like this in the feed section of my wiki:



well that is not that sexy, I want some feeds with images as eye candy, they get more clicks/attention/love.


 * 1) So I figure, I need to go into RSS.php file and set the parameter $wgRSSAllowLinkTag = true; and $wgRSSAllowImageTag = true;  it still doesn't work
 * 2) maybe my wiki doesn't allow external images? so I follow the Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages instructions and add that with $wgAllowExternalImages = true; it still doesn't work
 * 3) The code itself is html, I check if it would work to just add  -tags around the -tags, doesn't work
 * 4) I copy the code out of the feed and add tags below separately     which renders the image after I set $wgRawHtml=true; see Manual:$wgRawHtml that works, but doesn't help me
 * 5) what if I set the Manual:$wgAllowImageTag  to $wgAllowImageTag=true;, now I don't need to set -tags around -tags and the images are shown but not in the rss feeds. doesn't work
 * 6) What if I can add -tags into the subelements of the template for the extension, directly into MediaWiki:Rss-item? The description is where the image are that I pulled from Facebook, so if I add -tags around that parameter?    doesn't work. Maybe around the whole template?    doesn't work.
 * 7) Then I read through this Thread:Project:Support_desk/template_variables_within_html_tags. So you need to add    around the parameters.    doesn't work. Maybe like this?    doesn't work. Around the whole thing?    doesn't work.
 * 8) Am I changing the wrong template? Maybe the MediaWiki:Rss-feed instead? there I change the source to  ;  [ ]  :  :    doesn't work. Different  ;   doesn't work.

I don't know what else I could do? Maybe take earlier version of the extension? If anyone could help me here I would be grateful.
