RSS Feeds - Not just headings

Third party integrations HADashboard

Hi,

I’ve set up 2 RSS news feeds that are working in my dashboard but I only ever see the headlines, if I manually go to the feed in chrome there is a description as well which I would like to pull as well. Is this possible:

Feed: http://feeds.skynews.com/feeds/rss/uk.xml

On the below feed I see the “Appeal as woman ‘left for dead’ by four vehicles” but would also like to see the description “Police are appealing for witnesses over the death of a woman hit by four vehicles - none of which stopped.”

<item>
<title>Appeal as woman 'left for dead' by four vehicles</title>

Is this possible?

Thanks

it is possible but you need to change the widget for that. (so you need to make a custom widget for it)
you can ask andrew if he will add it to his very long list of things that are wished for, so he can make it an option in the future. but that can take a while :wink:

@aimc would it be possible to add this great feature? Most RSS-feeds don’t make sense with only the title.

Thanks for the reminder - I just added it and it will be in the next version.
