RSS Viewer Web Part is not displaying images
Does anybody have an idea why the RSS Web Part replaces the URL’s to images with the local host URL? In my web app “A” I use a RSS Viewer Web Part with the feed from web app “B”. The images displayed in the feed have following links, when the feed is viewed on App “B” e.g. http://B-App/image1.png When I view the feed with the RSS Web Part the URL is changed to http://A-App/Image1.png which does not exist, resulting in broken link. Many thanks for your help!

Hi, please check RSS Feed URL of that RSS viewer web part Did you make any changes using XSL editor ? Warm Regards, Pratik Vyas | SharePoint Consultant | http://sharepointpratik.blogspot.com/

Hi, when I view the feed with 3rd party FeedReader it displays it correctly I use the same feed URL for the web part. The URL is correct. I did not make any changes to the XSL.

If anybody is interested, just a quick update on this issue. A custom RSS viewer was developed to resolve this issue. What we did is: if any of the URL's came in as relative we attached the host name of the feed to it. As only the URL's coming from the host were relative.
