Drupal 7: Views RSS module - fields not showing up So I wanted to create a custom RSS feed for my site and was told that I could use the views fields capability with this module: Views RSS. I downloaded and installed and followed the steps explained here for the basic usage. And also took a look at the minimal instructions given at the module's doc

The problem is I end up with; the fields getting picked up by the page display but the feed display returns the default with title and body fields only (regardless of other fields). Also the XML is not outputted correctly and the link. It's as if the Views RSS is not there or is not doing anything.

I have no idea why it is not working...I am think if the steps I followed aren't correct and when I try to follow what is described here I run into the same error and have no idea how the person who posted that solved it.
First think first: On a RSS feed you can't have as many &lt;xml_tags&gt; as you want. It's fixed-predefined for web concurrency.

Now a quick and dirty tutorial:


Enable Views RSS, Views RSS: Core Elements, Views RSS: DC Elements
Add new view without create a page or a block
Add a Display Feed
Format-> from RSS Feed to RSS feed- Fields
Fields->Add the basic fields (It will display nothing!)
Format->Settings->Item elements : core Map the fields to RSS elements (do the same for Item elements : dc)
Feed settings->Path: give a path
Save..
Browse the URL, for debug (and not fancy Chrome/Firefox styling) CURL example.com/rss
