[Answered ]-Django Generating RSS feed with description

2👍

✅

If anyone comes across this, the problem was the link to the template.

i.e
description_template = “events_description.html”

I assumed django would handle checking the template directory, however you have to specify where the template is located.
i.e

description_template = “events/events_description.html”

I take it that you are trying to subscribe to the feed via email… correct?

To do this, you need to add a couple things.

First, import the “content” extension. This is done in the opening <rss> element like this:

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/">

Then, add the full desription to an element like this:

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
  <p>The full description goes here bla bla bla.</p> 
  <p>You can use HTML tags too.</p>
]]></content:encoded>

This is in addition to the regular description tag required by RSS and can be added to each <item> element.
