Can I adjust the RSS output?

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Hi,
I'm using B2evolution for my blog, but I want to make a fancy front end in flash...
So The flash application uses the RSS feed from my blog.
That's all good, and it seems to work, except for the fact that macromedia flash can't handle any content between the <channel> ...!..</channel>
So the basic output is now:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
- <!-- generator="b2evolution/1.9.3" -->
- <rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"                                  xmlns:admin="http://webns.net/mvcb/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/">

Does anybody know where I can edit the content of the RSS feed?
I've tried to alter the _main.php allready, but then it gives me a parse error.
Thanx

Assuming you still want to keep your rss feeds :-

Make a copy of skins/_rss2/ ( call it skins/_flash/ or summat cool ). Then crack open the new copy of _main.php and delete the following sections of code :-

		<title><?php
			$Blog->disp( 'name', 'xml' );
			request_title( ' - ', '', ' - ', 'xml' );
		?></title>

				<link><?php $Blog->disp( 'blogurl', 'xml' ) ?></link>
				<description><?php $Blog->disp( 'shortdesc', 'xml' ) ?></description>
				<language><?php $Blog->disp( 'locale', 'xml' ) ?></language>
				<docs>http://backend.userland.com/rss</docs>
				<admin:generatorAgent rdf:resource="http://b2evolution.net/?v=<?php echo $app_version ?>"/>
				<ttl>60</ttl>

Save the file and upload it.

To call the file just use yourdomain.com/?tempskin=_flash or whatever cool name you picked ;)

Okay, I do feel bad about asking for your help again....
but if you knew the answer to the fist question...you'll probably know this one as wel.

I'want my flash front end to automatically link trough. My Blog is outputting the RSS as follows:


<link>http://www.mysite.com/blog/index.php?blog=1&amp;title=test_1&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1</link>

And I'd like to change it into:


<link><a href="www.mysite.com/blog/index.php?blog=1&amp;title=test_rss&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1">TEST</a></link>

That way flash automaticly makes it a link....

Where can I add the <a href= part??????

Thanks a bunch
