Re: rss helper elem method images cakephp 2.0

Not sure how the elem method works but here's how to add an image:

<?php
    App::uses('Sanitize', 'Utility');
   
    $this->set('channelData', array(
        'title' => 'tet',
        'link' => 'test',
        'url' => 'test',
        'description' => 'test',
        'language' => 'en-us',
        'managing-editor' => 'test',
    ));

    foreach($posts as $post) {
       
        // This is the part where we clean the body text for output as the description
        // of the rss item, this needs to have only text to make sure the feed validates
        $bodyText = preg_replace('=\(.*?\)=is', '', $post['Post']['excerpt']);
        $bodyText = $this->Text->stripLinks($bodyText);
        $bodyText = Sanitize::stripAll($bodyText);
        $bodyText = $this->Text->truncate($bodyText, 400, array(
            'ending' => '...',
            'exact'  => true,
            'html'   => true,
        ));
       
        echo $this->Rss->item(array(), array(
            'title' => $post['Post']['title'],
            'link' => array(
                'controller' => 'streams',
                'action' => 'view', $post['Post']['id']
            ),
            'guid' => array(
                'controller' => 'streams',
                'action' => 'view', $post['Post']['id']
            ),
            'description' => $bodyText,
            'pubDate' => $post['Post']['post_date'],
            'enclosure' => array('url' => $this->Html->url('/app/webroot/'.$post['Post']['image_site_thumb'], true), 'width' => '140', 'height' => '100')
        ));
    }
?>

I'm trying to add images to my rss feed and I'm assuming that it can be done using the elem method of the rss helper but I don't know how to use elem method properly. If images are add a different way then please explain as well. This is my rss.ctp view file:

<?php
    App::uses('Sanitize', 'Utility');
   
    $this->set('channelData', array(
        'title' => 'test',

        'language' => 'en-us',
        'managing-editor' => 'test',
    ));

    foreach($posts as $post) {
       
        // Clean the body text for output as the description of the rss item,
        // this needs to have only text to make sure the feed validates

        $bodyText = $this->Text->truncate($bodyText, 400, array(
            'ending' => '...',
            'exact'  => true,
            'html'   => true,
        ));       
       
        echo $this->Rss->item(array(), array(
            'title' => $post['Post']['title'],
            'link' => array(
                'controller' => 'streams',
                'action' => 'view', $post['Post']['id']
            ),
            'guid' => array(
                'controller' => 'streams',
                'action' => 'view', $post['Post']['id']
            ),
            'description' => $bodyText,
            'pubDate' => $post['Post']['post_date'],
            //'elem' => array('media:thumbnail', array('url' => $this->Html->url('/app/webroot/'.$post['Post']['image_site_thumb'], true), 'width' => '75', 'height' => '75'), NULL, false)
            'enclosure' => 'test'
        ));
    }
?>
