Question

every time people give tutorials on how to make atom rss templates, but my question here is how can i pass in and image in the rss format. for instance i have this code sample in rss

atom_feed :language => 'en-US' do |feed|
  feed.title @title
  feed.updated @updated

  @news_items.each do |item|
    next if item.updated_at.blank?

    feed.entry( item ) do |entry|
      entry.url news_item_url(item)
      entry.title item.title
      entry.content item.content, :type => 'html'

      # the strftime is needed to work with Google Reader.
      entry.updated(item.updated_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")) 

      entry.author do |author|
        author.name entry.author_name)
      end
    end
  end
end

where can i display the image of the article and how do i do it

Answer 1

The Atom format (http://www.atomenabled.org/developers/syndication/) supports an icon (square) and a logo (rectangular)… so in your block

entry.icon '/path/to/my/icon.png'
entry.logo '/path/to/my/logo.png'

EDIT: serves me right for not checking some code. Those elements are optional elements for the feed element, not the entry. Try:

feed.icon '/path/to/my/icon.png'
