I wrote a patch to add an option to View RSS' "Field Usage" setting to allow to output all fields to a RSS element (mostly in the description element.)

I don't think all-or-nothing would help all that many use cases. Also, why can't you just use views advanced render and stick everything into one field, and then assign that to description?

Thanks,
David

Sorry, but I see no point to it. You can easily add value of more than one field to any RSS element, just by rewriting output of the field you are adding.

To illustrate it with an example, let's assume you want to have both nid and body values added to RSS <description> element - then:

  • add both nid and body fields to your view,
  • for body field, tick Rewrite the output of this field,
  • in the rewrite textarea add both defined tokens - in this case [nid] and [body],
  • assign such modified body to <description> element of your feed, and you're done.

Also, check out module documentation - you will find most important information about module configuration there already (it's for versions 2.x, but you can get some ideas for previous versions as well). This specific case is not described there yet, but will be soon too.
