Please can someone tell me the tag that I would need to insert into rss_template.xml to show images of my listings in my newsfeed?
Many thanks.

Anybody...?
I've tried various syntaxes but I'm not familiar with xml and I have a client who wants to deliver an image in their feed. I've worked out that $listing_url$/images/$file$ will be part of the tag but I don't know how to display this in the xml template.
<!-- templatecell : row_image -->
<item>
<title>$lfield1$ - $lfield3$ GBP</title>
<link>$listing_url$/$listing_file$</link>
<description>$lfield5$</description>
<guid isPermaLink="true">$listing_url$/$listing_file$</guid>
</item>
<!-- /templatecell : row_image -->

Hi Annie
Thanks for posting!
I believe I just sent you an email a few moments ago and what I was thinking is you should just be able to add the image tags back into your template like this:
<!-- templatecell : row_image -->
<item>
<title>$lfield1$</title>
<link>$listing_url$/$listing_file$</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">$listing_url$/$listing_file$</guid>
<description>
<img src="$listing_url$/images/$thumbnail$" width=$thumbnail_width$ border=1 alt="">$lfield5$
</description>
</item>
<!-- /templatecell : row_image -->
<!-- templatecell : row_image_new -->
<item>
<title>$lfield1$</title>
<link>$listing_url$/$listing_file$</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">$listing_url$/$listing_file$</guid>
<description>
<img src="$listing_url$/images/$thumbnail$" width=$thumbnail_width$ border=1 alt="">$lfield5$
</description>
</item>
<!-- /templatecell : row_image_new -->
That should get the image code being added to your feeds. Give this a shot and let me know how you make out  .

Hi Annie.
Thanks for the update!
It looks like the problem here is going to be coming from the width attribute. Notice how it doesn’t have any quotes around it?
XML is going to need quotes around each attribute value so try adding in quotes around where the 100 shows up. On your template, find:
width=$thumbnail_width$
and change that to read:
width=“$thumbnail_width$”
Same thing is going to happen with border=1. That will need to look like this:
Border=”1”.
Make sure to update both templatecells. Let me know how you make out with this .

Now I'm getting this in Firefox:
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </img>.
Location: http://feeds.feedburner.com/mellowneedlecraftsprom
Line Number 15, Column 3:</description>
--^
and this in IE:
End tag 'description' does not match the start tag 'img'. Error processing resource 'http://www.mellowneedlecrafts.co.uk/cg...
</description>--^
This is my code. Do I need a closing img tag or have I made some glaring error?
<!-- templatecell : row_image -->
<item>
<title>$lfield1$ - $lfield3$ GBP</title>
<link>$listing_url$/$listing_file$</link>
<description>
<img src="$listing_url$/images/$thumbnail$" width="$thumbnail_width$" border="1" alt="">$lfield5$
</description>
<guid isPermaLink="true">$listing_url$/$listing_file$</guid>
</item>
<!-- /templatecell : row_image -->
<!-- templatecell : row_image_new -->
<item>
<title>$lfield1$ - $lfield3$ GBP</title>
<link>$listing_url$/$listing_file$</link>
<description>
<img src="$listing_url$/images/$thumbnail$" width="$thumbnail_width$" border="1" alt="">$lfield5$
</description>
<guid isPermaLink="true">$listing_url$/$listing_file$</guid>
</item>

Hi Annie.
Thanks for the update!
We don’t normally use images in the RSS feed so I really appreciate your patience as we work through this .
What you’ll want to do this time is add a “/” at the end of your image tags like this:
<img src="$listing_url$/images/$thumbnail$" width="$thumbnail_width$" border="1" alt="" />
That basically closes the tag off which is what the error message is telling us is missing.
Keep me up to date .
