如何将图像添加到 Django 的 Syndication RSS-feed

Question

Having this model:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    …
    image = StdImageField(
        upload_to="img/images",
        blank=True,
        variations={
            "large": (1024, 1024),
            "thumbnail": (150, 150, False),
            "medium": (600, 600),
        },
        delete_orphans=True,
    )

and this view

…
from django.contrib.syndication.views import Feed
…
class LatestItems(Feed):
    title = "LatestItems"
    description = "Latest Items"
    link = "/sitenews/"

    def items(self):
        return MyModel.objects.all()

    def item_title(self, item):
        return item.description_short

    def item_description(self, item):
        return item.description

    def item_link(self, item):
        return reverse('item_detail', args=[item.pk])

How to add an image to the body of an RSS-article?

Answer 1

Create a custom feed_type and set in the Feed view,

from django.contrib.syndication.views import Feed



class LatestItems(Feed):
    
    title = "LatestItems"
    description = "Latest Items"
    link = "/sitenews/"

    def items(self):
        return MyModel.objects.all()

    def item_title(self, item):
        return item.description_short

    def item_description(self, item):
        return item.description

    def item_link(self, item):
        return reverse('item_detail', args=[item.pk])

Answer 2

A -- maybe not technically best -- approach that works so far for me is to define my own template. Even it's not encapslled in CDATA or using the enclosure-tag of RSS it appers to be rendered correctly in most of the RSS reader I'Ve tried -- so a clear "works for me".

     description_template = "feeds/latest.html"

The template is a normal Jinja-template, which is not uspporting full set of HTML. However, for my little project a template like

<h1>{{ obj.description_short}}</h1>
<img src="{{request.scheme}}://{{request.META.HTTP_HOST}}{{obj.image.medium.url}}" />

(Not happy with the build of URL, but this should be solveable with eg the idea of another answer

    def item_extra_kwargs(self, item):
       …

So my complete view looks something like this:

class LatestFeed(Feed):
    title = "Latest Items"
    description = "Latest Items"
    link = "/"
    description_template = "feeds/latest.html"

    def items(self):
        return myModel.objects.all()

    def item_title(self, item):
        return item.title

    def item_description(self, item):
        return item.detail

    def item_link(self, item):
        return reverse('item_detail', args=[item.pk])

Try this:

...

class LatestItems(Feed):
    ...

    def item_image(self, item):
        domain = 'https://example.com'
        return domain + item.image.url
