Scott, links to files used to show up in the feeds. This was awsome for our use of the module for podcasts because a visitor could subscribe and download the files automatically. Ths seems to have broken with the new system.
Because of the automatic creation of the summary we have gone to using details, which is the embed code for the file and a summary with the attachment being a direct link to the MP3.
We then create a template which includes both the articlelink and linktarget. See an example here http://dev.icthus07.com/Modules/Ventrian/Publisher/tabid/132/Default.aspx
The visitor has a choice of listening online or downloading the file, but when you look at the rss feed the attachement no longer shows up.
Any suggestions of what we need to do to get this fixed? |

And if anyone could tell me how to force the MP3 to download in the template code only that would be great. We still want the MP3 to behave as usual (playback based on user settings) anyplace else but here we would like to force the file to download.
Thanks! |

In admin options, there is a setting called "Allow html in syndication?", do you have this enabled? This is the only way to have link tags in the RSS.
Is the download link an attachment in news articles? This is the only way it will show as an enclosure?
Forcing the file to download is really a browser issue, it is setup so that when you click the mp3 file it doesn't automatically download it, but opens it up in the specified program. You can have some code on the server side which would force it to ask to save the item, but this would require another page to be written that would serve the file. |

As soon as something is added to the details the linked file does not show in the feed. Check out this feed here http://www.trinityfreistadt.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Rss.aspx?TabID=291&ModuleID=493&CategoryID=521
Only the entries with no "Details" show the linked file. |

Jack,
I can't reproduce this, I create an article with details and a summary and an attachment. This comes up with the enclosure file.
Are you using the latest version? Are you attaching the file as an attachment? |

| The link to the file is an external link to a file stored on amazon aws, not an upload to the file system. That should not matter should it? |

Yes, it does matter, only internal files are captured as enclosures because it requires additional information such as file size, mime type, etc.
I'm not sure how this was working before? |

| Is there no way to capture an external file as an enclosure then? |

Not in the current module, the code would need to request the file to determine the file type and file size (probably when adding/updating an article) and store it somewhere to use in the enclosure.
So at the moment, it only does internal files. |

| Early testing looks perfect, feeds are great and downloads are working perfectly in aggregators. |
