Summary of Changes

Modified the featured feed view to respect the Show Intro Text article parameter when Include in Feed = Full Text is selected.

File changed: components/com_content/views/featured/FeedView.php (line 82)

Before:

$description .= ($params->get('feed_summary', 0) ? $row->introtext . $row->fulltext : $row->introtext);

After:

 $description .= $row->params->get('show_intro', 1) ? $row->introtext : '';
 $description .= $params->get('feed_summary', 0) ? $row->fulltext : '';

Previously, the featured feed ignored the Show Intro Text = Hide setting and always included intro text when Full Text was selected. Now the feed checks the article's show_intro parameter and only includes intro text when it is set to Show.

Testing Instructions

Prerequisites:

• Joomla 6.2 (same issue in older versions)
• Featured Articles menu item created
• RSS feeds enabled

Step 1: Configure Article Options

1. Log in to Joomla Administrator
2. Navigate to Content → Articles → Options
3. Click the Articles tab
4. Set Show Intro Text to Hide
5. Click the Integration tab
6. Set Include in Feed to Full Text
7. Click Save & Close

Step 2: Create featured articles with Read More

1. Navigate to Content → Articles
2. Create at least two articles:
   • Title: "Featured Article 1"
   • In the content area:
     • Type "AA1" (intro text)
     • Click the Read More toggle (CMS Content → Read More)
     • After the read more break, type "BB1" (full text)
   • Click Save & Close
3. Create a second article:
   • Title: "Featured Article 2"
   • Content: "AA2" then Read More, then "BB2"
   • Click Save & Close
4. Mark both articles as Featured:
   • In the Articles list, click the star icon in the Featured column for each article

Step 3: Create a Featured Articles menu item

1. Navigate to Menus → Main Menu
2. Click New
3. Menu Title: "Featured Feed Test"
4. Menu Item Type: Click Select → under Articles → Featured Articles
5. Click Save & Close

Step 4: Access the RSS feed

Use the URL of your featured articles menu item with feed parameters:

http://localhost/featured-feed-test?format=feed&type=rss

Or use the direct route:

http://localhost/index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&format=feed&type=rss

Step 5: Observe the feed output

Look at the <description> tag of your featured articles in the feed.

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

<description><![CDATA[<div class="feed-description"><p>AA1</p>

<p>BB1</p></div>]]></description>

Both intro text (AA1) and full text (BB1) appear, even though Show Intro Text = Hide is selected.

Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request

<description><![CDATA[<div class="feed-description"><p>BB1</p></div>]]></description>

Only the full text (BB1) appears. The intro text (AA1) is correctly hidden.

Additional Notes

• The HTML view for Featured Articles already respects the Show Intro Text setting (only BB appears)
• This PR brings the Featured RSS feed behavior in line with the HTML view
• The same fix was applied to the Category Feed in PR #47788
