weediddy, I guess the point was not clear enough. In order for you to successfully transform any rss feed, you need to know what kind of feed is being referenced. You can do that by examining the source of the feed, which is simple using IE7, place the url in the address and browse to it. Then, right click and choose 'View Source'. Now, looking at the example feed in the original post. We have the most important info we need at our disposal. Briefly, the first thing I look at, includes what version of RSS we are being fed, and what namespaces are being used.
<rss xmlns:feedburner="http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" version="2.0">
The highlighted line from that feed tells us that it is rss version 2.0 and that it's using a special namespace from feedburner. This information is important if you want to display every tag refererenced in the feed. The current version of DNN News Feeds (RSS) by default only supports RSSv0.91 feeds, and uses a default xsl file to do the transformation. This very basic xsl does not allow translation of HTMl in any of the tags within a feed.
Now, given you have an RSS v2.0 feed using feedburner extension tags, you have to do some extra work to get the feed to display as expected. Each feed is going to be a little different, so your approach to using a newsfeed has to include understanding RSS, and XSL, otherwise you will not get the look and feel you desire.
Specifically, the post asked about how to get pictures to display from the feed. In this case, you need a way to allow HTML to show up, as the default xsl does not allow HTML. Given that this feed has embedded the pictures in the description content, you need to allow for that type of use. Most often, you can get HTML to display by modifying the tag in question to include the instruction to allow it. Here's the basic tag modified to allow HTML content:
<xsl:value-of select="title" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
Now, to extend the example to work for this specific feed, you need to look at the various tags within the feed to see what else you need to do or want to do with it. Make the appropriate changes in your xsl and test it. There are no shortcuts to the learning curve, and the post I gave you includes some warnings about allowing feeds with HTML on a public site. There are some dangers.
So, to make a long story short, here's an example xsl you can use to get a start.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<!-- RSSv2.0 Simple XSL Example by Phil 'iwonder' Guerra -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<div>
<xsl:apply-templates select="rss/channel"/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="rss/channel">
<xsl:variable name="link" select="link"/>
<xsl:variable name="description" select="description"/>
<xsl:variable name="image" select="image/url"/>
<xsl:variable name="idesc" select="image/description"/>
<xsl:variable name="ilink" select="image/link"/>
<xsl:variable name="iwide" select="image/width"/>
<xsl:variable name="ihigh" select="image/height"/>
<div class="head">
<xsl:if test="$image">
<a href="{$ilink}" title="{$idesc}"><xsl:value-of select="ilink" /></a>
<img src="{$image}" height="{$ihigh}" width="{$iwide}" style="float: left; margin: 2px; border: 0px;"/>
</xsl:if>
<font size="-2"><xsl:value-of select="description"/><br/>
<a href="{$link}"><xsl:value-of select="title" /></a><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="webMaster"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="copyright"/></font>
<hr/>
</div>
<xsl:apply-templates select="item"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item">
<xsl:variable name="item_link" select="link"/>
<xsl:variable name="item_title" select="description"/>
<div class="subHead">
<a href="{$item_link}"><xsl:value-of select="title" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></a></div>
<font size="-2">
<xsl:value-of select="description" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></font><br/>
<font size="-3">
(<xsl:value-of select="pubDate"/>)</font><br/> <hr/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Cut and past the code to a file using any text editor. Then, go to your module and upload the xsl file to your site, and specify it for use with this feed. You will get the basic look and feel, including pictures, because that content is enclosed in the description using html, which this xsl allows.
However, you need to understand that this xsl may not display any tag with a feedburner reference, because we did not include that namespace into the xsl. The above example will generally display any RSSv2.0 feed without custom namespaces. That's a whole other topic, which I have offerred an example xsl in other posts.
I've used the above example successfully on my test DNNv04.04.1 site, and it works. So, give it a go, and do search and seek out other info which will help you explore RSS and XSL. It's very powerful, and DNN's implementation is simple, but not restrictive when you understand how to do it with custom xsl files and how to understand dissecting RSS feeds in general.
