Because the built-in RSS connector/module in Joomla, up to the latest stable version, includes images within the feed description, which prevents proper adaptation to the target framework, and to maintain compatibility with the RSS standard that uses the "enclosure" tag (available as a data type and class in Joomla's core but not used), I would like to recommend improving this important functionality. In my case, with each Joomla update, I am forced to fix the code every time.

I have attached a ZIP file of the Joomla code modifications, which are operational and work correctly in version J.5.4.2 and I believe should also work correctly in version 6.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Modified files involved in the improvement for enclosures and categories of Joomla's native RSS feed

RSS Connector Tags VIEWS (add enclosure class):
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\portal\components\com_tags\src\View\Tags\FeedView.php
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\portal\components\com_tags\src\View\Tag\FeedView.php

RSS connector for VIEW category articles (Only to remove the image from the description):
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\portal\components\com_content\src\View\Category\FeedView.php
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\portal\components\com_content\src\View\Featured\FeedView.php

RSS connector for MVC category articles (Add enclosure class to category view):
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\portal\libraries\src\MVC\View\CategoryFeedView.php

Include parameter for date type
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ayuntamiento-dev\administrator\components\com_content\config.xml

I tried to upload a zip file containing the Joomla files involved, but uploading ZIP files is not allowed. Please let me know how I can submit my proposal.
