Add common feed element

feedjira.rb

Feedjira::Feed.add_common_feed_element("image")
feed = Feedjira::Feed.fetch_and_parse("http://cltampa.com/tampa/Rss.xml?section=2065818")
feed.image
# => http://cltampa.com/binary/9697/adminIcon_clTampa.jpg

Awesome thanks! How would I specific which image to grab? Each post that I am iterating through starts with an image, trying to display each one of those for each post.

The image I need is nested inside @summary, which Feedjira gives me.

Gotcha - that's different. The way the feed author did this, Feedjira can't help you much. The summary attribute is just a simple Ruby string. We can parse it with Nokogiri and get at the images - maybe something like this:

feed = Feedjira::Feed.fetch_and_parse("http://cltampa.com/tampa/Rss.xml?section=2065818")
entry_docs = feed.entries.map { |entry| Nokogiri::XML entry.summary }
img_srcs = entry_docs.map { |doc| doc.xpath('/img/@src').first.value }

It's not pretty, but it works. Any other thoughts on this?

Sweet, thank you so much. Last question, would it be possible to just retain all of the html formatting that the authors used?

Hmmm, not sure I get your meaning - could you provide an example of what's not working? The summary does have HTML in it, so I think you're good to use it.
