CCK/Views Podcast: How do I get all fields in the feed?

Do you want the cck field values to show up in rss:description tag or are you wanting to add custom and/or itunes xml tags populated with the cck data to the feed?

In the first case it looks like views lets you decide if your rss description is the title, teaser, body, etc. You probably can set it to body (or whatever it is called - I don't have it in front of me) so that the nodes full body is used instead of the teaser. I believe that cck fields only show up in the full view and not the teaser by default. I believe you can also go into "Display Fields" for the cck fields of your type and force them to render in the teaser. One of these two methods would get them to show up in your feed as part of the rss:description tag.

For the latter case, custom xml nodes, you would need to create a module and implement the hook_nodeapi hook and the the rss item case in particular. http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/hook_nodeapi. This would allow you to look at the each node as the rss feed is being generated and create extra xml tags from the cck fields.

This bit of code from function theme_views_rss_feed($view, $nodes, $type) is where this all happens.

  $item_length = variable_get('feed_item_length', 'teaser');
  $namespaces = array('xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"');

  // Except for the original being a while and this being a foreach, this is
  // completely cut & pasted from node.module.
  foreach ($nodes as $node) {
    // Load the specified node:
    $item = node_load($node->nid);
    $link = url("node/$node->nid", NULL, NULL, 1);

    if ($item_length != 'title') {
      $teaser = ($item_length == 'teaser') ? TRUE : FALSE;

      // Filter and prepare node teaser
      if (node_hook($item, 'view')) {
        node_invoke($item, 'view', $teaser, FALSE);
      }
      else {
        $item = node_prepare($item, $teaser);
      }

      // Allow modules to change $node->teaser before viewing.
      node_invoke_nodeapi($item, 'view', $teaser, FALSE);
    }

    // Allow modules to add additional item fields
    $extra = node_invoke_nodeapi($item, 'rss item');
