I'm working on a site that converts articles into RSS using SyndicationItem. My problem is that the Authors (SyndicationPerson) is showing the email address only (if it exists) otherwise the name only as following: If email exists:
<author>name@email.com</author>
if emails is missing:
<author>
<name>First Name Last Name</name>
</author>
It is supposed to show both:
<author>
<name></name>
<email></email>
</author>
So what controls this or is there something missing?
Parts of the code that matter:
var syndicationItem = new SyndicationItem(GetItemTitle(article), GetItemSummary(article), new Uri(articleUrl), article.AbsoluteUrl, article.Date);
syndicationItem = AddAuthorsToFeedItem(syndicationItem, article);
syndicationItems.Add(syndicationItem);
feed.Items = syndicationItems;
var output = new StringBuilder();
using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(output, new XmlWriterSettings {Indent = true}))
{
feed.SaveAsRss20(writer);
writer.Flush();
writer.Close();
return output.ToString();
}
private SyndicationItem AddAuthorsToFeedItem(SyndicationItem syndicationItem, Article article)
{
foreach (var author in article.Authors)
{
var authorName = author.First_Name + " " + author.Last_Name;
var person = new SyndicationPerson(author.Email_Address, authorName, string.Empty);
syndicationItem.Authors.Add(person);
}
return syndicationItem;
}
