RSS Expected Image Tag or Alt Tag

Emir-

Can you identify what tag your software is looking for to populate the image from an RSS feed? In addition, I am pulling an image from a database where the XML clearly didn't follow spec - the XML was written with a non-standard tag - i.e. <thumbnailimagefoundhere></thumbnailimagefoundhere>

So - I'd like to either ask my software developer to follow the XML standard, or figure out if there is a place within your code I can tell it to look for the alternate tag.

Thanks.

None. It just displays the description and image is there as HTML tag.
Look at the source for regular Joomla RSS feeds like joomla15.sakic.net/rss.feed

Gotcha - very enlightened, easy way to do it. So what has happened is my software vendor hasn't put the image into the description field as part of that text, they have created a separate tag specifically to house the image - so in this case, it actually appears as:

<psg:thumbnail>http://192.168.1.100:3000/thumbnails/8773.jpg</psg:thumbnail>


Any ideas about how I could get your reader to access and post the image from that tag?
