I am using EE 2.1.0, Build 20100810.

I run my blog RSS feed through Feedburner. The feed works just fine, except that the images do not show up (just the ALT text). I looked at the feed source code, and I see that the relative path is being used instead of the absolute path. I’m sure that this is exactly why Feedburner doesn’t show the images. How to use the absolute URL?

(Don’t know if it helps, but I use the ImgSizer add-on for my images.)

Thanks!

If you look at your RSS feed from EE, do you see the images?

Hi Sue. I just got the issue worked out. The issue was with the absolute and relative URL’s in the feed. Feedburner couldn’t display the images because the images were linked as relative URL’s.

I’m using the ImgSizer add-on to resize images on my site and in my RSS feed. The add-on author informed me that I should use server_domain=“http://example.com” in the code, like so:

{exp:imgsizer:size src="{photo}" width="200" server_domain="http://example.com"}

This will add the domain before the relative path to the images. In Feedburner (and in my RSS reader) the images will now show up. This bit of code for ImgSizer wasn’t mentioned in the ImgSizer documentation. I’m just happy it works.

Thanks, Sue.

Glad you found a solution! Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
