Strip HTML tags in RSS feed title

[aleskl]

Hello,

is is possible to completely remove HTML tags from RSS feed title, eg. in the template atom.tpl, the title generating line is this:

Code: Select all

<title>{$journal->getLocalizedTitle()|escape:"html"|strip} {$issue->getIssueIdentification()|escape:"html"|strip}</title>

However, the title that is generated contains HTML codes, and that is not nice to RSS feed readers.

Google Reader displays the following for our RSS feed title:

Description: <p><span><span><span lang="EN-GB"><img style="float: right; padding-left: 10px;" title="Image Analysis &amp; Stereology cover" ...

The link to the RSS feed is http://www.ias-iss.org/ojs/IAS/gateway/ ... lugin/atom

So, I would like to know if the HTML purifier has any more rigorous switches to clean text?

With kind regards,
Ales

Hi Ales,

I believe strip_tags is what you're looking for, no?

Thanks, that was exactly what I needed. Actually, the problem was the <subtitle> tag in the Atom feed. I used then this in the atom.tpl:

Code: Select all

<subtitle>{$description|strip_tags|trim}</subtitle>

However, the generated tag still contains some multiple spaces. I tried to use preg_replace or regex_replace at the end, but it didn't work. But I'm quite happy with the html tags stripped away.

Cheers, Ales
