wordpress.com adds tracking pixel (gif) that teaserImage pulls instead of post image

[siwise]

Hi, Thanks for a great tool! As stated, wordpress.com add a crazy tracking pixel as an image for every post. There is no way to disable this "feature" on wordpress.com and all themes seem to enable this "feature".

Is there any simple way of forcing teaserImage and teaserImageUrl to call the second or third image? Hoping this would get around this stupid tracking pixel issue.

I have tried messing with different number combinations of this line but haven't found one that works.

teaserImageUrl: (function (entry) { try { return entry.content.match(/(<img.*?>)/gi)[0].match(/src="(.*?)"/)[1]; }

Thanks for your help!

Tried with https://asijnews.com/feed/ and https://asijnews.com/feed/?mrss=off

For whatever reason wordpress is not embedding the images into the post description itself. Instead it puts it outside of the description as media tags. So what one would need to do is to go into the feedrapp and add support for them their. https://github.com/sdepold/feedrapp

Here we go :) https://github.com/sdepold/feedrapp/pull/48

Tada:

jQuery("#rss-feeds").empty().rss("https://asijnews.com/feed/", { 
  entryTemplate: "<img src='{img}'>", 
  tokens: {
    img: function (entry, tokens) { return entry.thumbnail; }
  }, 
  limit: 10
})

[sdepold]

Please let me know if this works for you :)

@sdepold When I try this, it renders the following:

<img src="undefined">

What am I doing wrong? I am not using WP, BTW. I just want to be able to bring in the media image.

[sdepold]

can you run this code? It prints the content of the entry. please paste one of the entries here. It works for me nicely. You are not running your own version of feedrapp I assume?

jQuery("#rss-feeds").empty().rss("https://asijnews.com/feed/", { 
  entryTemplate: "<img src='{img}'>", 
  tokens: {
    img: function (entry, tokens) { console.log(JSON.stringify(entry, null, 2)); return entry.thumbnail; }
  }, 
  limit: 10
})```

@sdepold You are correct, we are not running our own feedrapp. We may do that in the future, not sure.

Okay, it brought in the image using that feed. I will paste one of the JSON responses below.

Question: Is it only looking for media:thumbnail? Or does it account for other xml tags? Such as:

<media:content url="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2016/09/13/us/13FD-TRUMP-alt/13FD-TRUMP-1473720822075-moth.jpg" medium="image" height="151" width="151"/>

Question 2: What is the best way to limit the text that is displayed from bodyPlain?

Thanks so much for the response!

Here is the JSON:
