Summary of Changes

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

File changed: components/com_content/views/category/FeedView.php (line 60)

Before:

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

After:

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

Previously, the 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 (the issue exists in older versions)
• Category blog 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 an article with Read More

1. Navigate to Content → Articles
2. Click New
3. Title: "Test RSS Article"
4. In the content area:
   • Type "AA" (intro text)
   • Click the Read More toggle (CMS Content → Read More)
   • After the read more break, type "BB" (full text)
5. Click Save & Close

Step 3: Access the RSS feed

Use the URL of your category blog menu item with feed parameters, for example:

http://localhost/your-category-alias?format=feed&type=rss

Or use the direct route:

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

Step 4: Observe the feed output

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

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

<description><![CDATA[<p>AA</p>

<p>BB</p>]]></description>

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

Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request

<description><![CDATA[<p>BB</p>]]></description>

Only the full text (BB) appears. The intro text (AA) is correctly hidden.

Additional Notes

• The HTML article view already respects the Show Intro Text setting (only BB appears)
• This PR brings the RSS feed behavior in line with the HTML view
• The same issue exists in the Featured Articles feed and will be addressed in a separate PR
