Thanks so much for everyone's help. I just updated to the most recent version
of pmwiki, so the feeds.php script is back to normal. I added the following
to my config.php script:



$FeedFmt['rss']['item']['author'] = '$LastModifiedBy';

$FeedFmt['rss']['item']['description'] = '$LastModifiedSummary';



However,
I still don't get a <description> element in my RSS feed. Any ideas?



Thanks
again,

Angela
