Hi Colin,

Look at settings of your  feed module instance , you can see more options to configure it under the Excerpt mode settings  tab.

Hope Helps,

Asad

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your help.  I hadn't noticed Excerpt options.  I am also a bit green regarding what goes in the Web URL and what goes in the feed URL.  I am trying to configure something that feeds from Google News for a specific search term in the UK. 

I don't suppose you are planning to include the newsfeed image in the except in the future?

Best regards

Colin

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for that.  Strangely images did not show at first until I combined feeds.  Also excerpts are now showing without the checkbox ticked, but perhaps something else is overriding this.

The problem I had with the feed URL parameter was that it didn't like escape sequences, e.g. "%3A" instead of ":", in the string.

Is there a way to target linked news items to a new window? 

Thanks again,

Colin

Once again, thanks guys.  There must be a few beers racking up.

Colin
