I have noticed in the RSS feed there are other codes like (pubDate, media:content, medpic, THUMB, featured_thumbnail) can any of these be pulled to the below thread?

Is there a way to get atleast one image or more description then just a plan line like below?

Those are tokens, not bbcode.

Bbcode uses square brackets - [ ...] .
You can use any bbcode defined in the ACP.

Displaying any images which are present in the feed would require custom development.

Displaying any images which are present in the feed would require custom development.

But why this is not implemented natively in XF ?
Feeds comes with images so why there are not displayed in the thread created ?

It will be great when the destination forum is sets to Articles.

Thanks.

Got it !

You have to set the character limit high enough (10,000 on my forum) so that all the information in the feed appears. The HTML elements are taken into account in the count.

You mean the Discussion content RSS snippet length?

False joy ... most auto-created threads don't import images. I don't know why ... I am using 7 different feeds and only 1 is getting the pictures in the articles. I would have to see if the structure of the feeds differ from one to another to understand what is preventing the images from being imported. But maybe a xenforo developer could teach us more.
