One of my custom fields is an url, and I’m trying to show the link on my RSS template based on a conditional. 

Here’s the piece:

<description>{exp:xml_encode}{cal-event-date format="%n/%j, %g:%i%a"}{/exp:xml_encode}{if cal-home-away=="Home"}{exp:xml_encode}<a href="http://{exp:xml_encode}{cal-game-tix}{/exp:xml_encode}">Tickets</a>{/exp:xml_encode}{/if}</description>

I found a few discussions about this but nothing that I’ve been able to use to solve my problem.

Checking the feed in browser gives me zilch.  When I view source however, I see content, although without the hyperlink I’m looking for.  The conditional seems to be the problem.

I’ve read that the conditional needs to be outside {exp:xml_encode}.  But it isn’t working for me.

Any help is appreciated (trying to do the launch today).

A little more info.

Using this:

<description>{cal-event-date format="%n/%j, %g:%i%a"} {if cal-home-away=="Home"}<a href="http://{exp:xml_encode}{cal-game-tix}{/exp:xml_encode}">Tickets</a>{/if}</description>

Gives me what I want when I view source…

<description>11/3, 7:00pm <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/cgi/outsider.plx?CAMEFROM=NBAGRIZZLIES_CAL&GOTO=http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/1B00413ECAF952A0?artistid=806038&brand=grizzlies">Tickets</a></description>

But it isn’t showing up in the feed in the browser window, the hyperlinks don’t appear.

Does the <description> strip out hyperlinks?

In fact, there are other odd differences between what I’m seeing in the browser and what the RSS code looks like.
