XF 1.2 Feeder - extracting more elements

[skicomau]

The doco : http://xenforo.com/help/feeder/

Shows that you can call the following {title} {content} {author} {link}

What I want to do is feed a "featured product" into my forum. This sort of works in that I can do just that but I also want to call other items of the xml such as the image and the price and the discount (all in the xml).

<lowestPrice>90.98</lowestPrice>
<saving>65</saving>
<category>Jackets</category>
<enclosure src="http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/small/CPP/CPP0064/BKCHA.jpg" type="image"/>

Question is 2 part:
1) Is there an easy way to include those elements via feeder?
2) If not can I edit the code somewhere to include extra elements like {lowestPrice} {enclosure} etc

I can't find an add on that does this.

Actually I control the rss feed so I could change the enclosure tag to just something like <image or similar

You can access the enclosure URL via {enclosure_url}.

However, not until your enclosure tag meets the specs: http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification#ltenclosuregtSubelementOfLtitemgt (notably, the attribute is url, not src).

Otherwise, you would need to modify the code to access the other custom elements.

Happy to edit the code a bit. Any heads up as to which file I am looking in?

Actually, no problem. I have sorted the feed to put everything I want into the content field so I can produce a data feed from my shop into my forums and run a "Daily Deal" from my affiliate shop into my gear swap forum.
