I'm using Joomla 2.5 and have an RSS feed. I need to be able to make a change to the output of the RSS feed, but having difficulty figuring out where this PHP code is to make the change. Or if there is some module to alter this from the backend that I have not yet been able to identify. The URL for it looks like this:
http://example.com/stuff/news?format=feed&type=rss
The RSS output has fields in it that I need to alter or remove look like this:
</description>
<author>[email protected] (Super User)</author>
<category>News</category>
<pubDate>Thu, 06 Feb 2014 21:44:43 -0500</pubDate>
</item>
I want to either remove the field or be able to change what's there so it doesn't say Super User. All the Articles for the RSS news feed are owned by the company site there is no reason to have an author field like this so if it won't break anything else in the RSS feed format I'd like to know if it's OK to remove it. I have looked at other RSS feeds from non-Joomla websites and noticed there isn't even an Author field there so I'm assuming it can be removed. But the question still remains for me where to remove this or even change it.
The RSS feed is set-up through the Syndication Feeds module, but I looked in the PHP code there and can't find anything that relates to the fields used in the RSS feed directly.
In the above URL I see it's using the module mod_articles_news, if I'm correct. I looked in there too but nothing that points to what I'm looking for.
I'm not an RSS feed expert so I could simply be looking in the wrong direction to find what I'm looking for. Where is the code for this? Thanks!
