XF 2.2 Pulling forum RSS feed into website...works...but only for titles...what do I use for content snippet?

[Chernabog]

I've (thank you ChatGPT) been able to pull some forums into a webpage (rss feed) and it now shows the titles of the threads in the forum. However, I am trying to pull in a snippet of the actual thread's content. That's not going well - doesn't seem able to do that.

This is what I am getting:

"For the thread content, the RSS feed's <description> element typically contains the content. We'll truncate the content to 200 characters (for best practice, a balance between brevity and content delivery) for visual clarity. If the content is shorter than 200 characters, it will display the whole content."

Does anyone know what < > element I need to use to specify the thread's content? Any help would be appreciated!! Trying to get ready for a launch tomorrow and this is the last thing I need to do

Thank you!!

Okay not to beat the horse.... but let me also ask, whoever may be able to help, is there a way I can limit how many threads are pushed to the rss feed? Like I don't want to bog down our news and updates on the launcher with 50 threads or a never ending amount of them.

I was thinking the newest 5 or maybe by date?? Just curious if anyone knows if or how it's possible to control so that it doesn't overwhelm what we're using it for.

Thanks and happy weekend all!

Any thoughts @Paul B ?
