I am new to Smarty and wondering if someone could help me with this:
I have an RSS feed on a page which is outputting my news stories with Title/Description/Date
Each news story has an image in it with text wrapped to the right-I want to include a thumbnail image of the original image in the news story INTO the RSS feed with text wrapped right
Here is the working code without the thumbnail image

Code:
<rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>{$rss_title}</title>
        <description>{$rss_desc}</description>
        <link>{$rss_url}</link>
        <lastBuildDate>{$rss_builddate}</lastBuildDate>
        {foreach $_items as $item}
            <item>
                <title>{$item.oilfieldnews_title}</title>
                <link>{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{jrCore_module_url module="xxOilfieldNews"}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.oilfieldnews_title_url}</link>
                <description>{$item.oilfieldnews_body|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|strip_tags}</description>
                <pubDate>{$item.oilfieldnews_date|jrCore_format_time:false:"%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z"}</pubDate>
            </item>
        {/foreach}
    </channel>
</rss>


Here is the code after I try to insert a thumbnail of the original image

Code:
 <rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>{$rss_title}</title>
        <description>{$rss_desc}</description>
        <image>{$rss_image}</image>
        <link>{$rss_url}</link>
        <lastBuildDate>{$rss_builddate}</lastBuildDate>
        {foreach $_items as $item}
            <item>
                <title>{$item.oilfieldnews_title}</title>
                <link>{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{jrCore_module_url module="xxOilfieldNews"}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.oilfieldnews_title_url}</link>
                <image>{$item.oilfieldnews_image|jrCore_format_string:$item.oilfieldnews_image_id| module="xxOilfieldNews" type="xxOilfieldNews_image" item_id=$item._item_id size="small" crop="auto" class="iloutline" alt=$item.xxOilfieldNews_title}</image>
                <description>{$item.oilfieldnews_body|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|strip_tags}</description>
                <pubDate>{$item.oilfieldnews_date|jrCore_format_time:false:"%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z"}</pubDate>
            </item>
        {/foreach}
    </channel>


I am sure I am way off on this and wondering if anyone here could help with what I am trying to do
Thank you

You're missing the point. RSS specification does not describe presentation, and this is intentional.
The presentation of the RSS stream is up to the reader's UA.

Thank you- but I am using RSS to display a slider on my home page that displays the last 5 news items posted- it has clickable links that take you to the full article on the site

Which means, the web page (the JavaScript, that pull in the RSS?) is your User-Agent, and responsible for converting the RSS format to HTML.

No I use "RSS Include" for that - an app I have been using for a few years

The purpose of this code is not to format an rss feed for the reader- it is to deliver the content in a slider to the home page of the website

I think you don't understand. RSS format is not compatible with HTML, you can't just "display" it, in a slider or othervise, within the web page.
At maximum, you can fetch the <description> from RSS, and display THAT, if you know it is in HTML format.
I.e. http://www.swtor.com/feed/news

Thanks- I just put it up on a test page so you can see it working here
http://theamericandriller.com/test

The purpose of the code I need is to add a thumbnail image into the slider text ( which it gets from the original page)

I have seen it many time and even done it- but do not know how to do it with smarty

Thank you

you can see the XML data it is sending to RSS Include here
http://theamericandriller.com/feed/oilfield-news
then its displayed on the site using either a script or a few other options

I have added another feed to the above test link with images in the feed
I think images begin on the second page ...
I want images like this in my feed BUT as thumbnails with text wrapped right

I can't see your test page. Says "The page you requested was not found!"
