Details
This addon adds a new profile type to Coranto that is used to build RSS 2.0 feeds.
The addon allows you to map Coranto fields to RSS elements.
You don't need a style or a template, just fill in the settings for the profile, enable the profile, and build news.

Addon Documentation
- Changes on version 0.06 - August 21, 2006
- Removed limitation on length of many elements as these do not apply in RSS 2.0.
- Cleaned up code.
- Tested interoperability with Multi-Part fields. (it does work)
- Added more error testing for proper entries when editing profile information. I have tried to display messages that actually you what the problem is. The tests for image width and image height test the data entered into those fields. Your image is not tested for size. It is up to you to adhere to the standard. Errors that occur are shown as minor errors and the information is displayed after the profile information is saved.
- Added setting for string to display if you truncate the item description. You can use an ellipse (...) or add text (Read More, Full Story, etc.) if you are using HTML in descriptions you can use this to add another link to the complete item. This will be stripped of html if your description is stripped and will only be displayed if your description is truncated, so if the entry is too short to be truncated this text will not appear. If you use the Snipper addon or Coranto's snip feature to truncate your description this text will be added in addition to the ellipse that may be added by those methods.
- Added setting to force the Read More link to be added even if you don't use the profile setting for truncating your entry. This allows you to use the Snipper addon to truncate your description and still add a read more link.
