Preventing .flv file from appearing in RSS feed

I’m not sure if there is a plugin available to do this or not. If there isn’t you can use some content filters on the rss with somethng like this:

function removeFLV($content) {
  global $wp_query;
  if(is_feed()) {
   //find and replace everything between two indentifier tags with nothing
  }
}
add_filter('the_content', 'removeFLV');

Obviously the above is a really rough example, but I hope that gets ya started.

I made a quick plugin to remove everything between two tags from a full wordpress feed based on the above. I just tested it and it works through feed readers and feedburner, however, it will still display the hidden information when the feed if viewed directly from the site (ie: when clicking on the feed icon in the address bar in FireFox). I’m working on getting it released now.

thanks for the reply! Where exactly would I paste that code?

Also, is the plugin released yet?

Thanks Again

Didn’t have time to build a control panel and release it as a plugin. So, if you want to try this quick and dirty method add this to the functions.php file for the theme you are currently using:

function removeFromFeed($string){
    global $wp_query;
    $start="[start]";
    $end="[end]";
    if(is_feed()){
        $string = " ".$string;
        $ini = strpos($string,$start);
        if ($ini == 0) return "";
        $ini += strlen($start);
        $len = strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
        $remove =  substr($string,$ini,$len);
        $display = str_ireplace($start.$remove.$end,"",$string);
    }
    else{
        $string = str_ireplace($start,"",$string);
        $string = str_ireplace($end,"",$string);
        $display = $string;
    }
    return $display;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'removeFromFeed');

1. Add to functions.php
2. Enclose what you want to exclude from your feed in [start] [end] on the html tab of your post
3. Anything weird happens remove the function from the file.

Hope that helps.
