Fetch image from description in XML (RSS Feed) - ios

Question

I am having a hard time fetching the image from my RSS feed to Xcode. I have been able to get the date, title, even the category. The image is however in the first line of the description, as seen in the RSS feed below:
<item>
<title>Stevie Wonder Tribute</title>
<link>http://celebirious.com/bey/?p=6925</link>

The XCode looks like this.
#interface APPMasterViewController () {
NSXMLParser *parser;
NSMutableArray *feeds;
NSMutableDictionary *item;
NSMutableString *title;
NSMutableString *pubDate;
NSMutableString *category;
NSMutableString *link;
NSMutableString *description;
NSString *element;
}
Then I'm using SDWEBImage to try and outsource the image:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
carecell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.thetitle.text = [[feeds objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey: #"title"];
NSString * imageURL = [[feeds objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey: #"description"];
[cell.theimage sd_setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:imageURL]
placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"candid-02.jpg"]];
return cell;
}
Lastly:
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict {
element = elementName;
if ([element isEqualToString:#"item"]) {
item = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
title = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
link = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
pubDate = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
category = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
description = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName {
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"item"]) {
[item setObject:title forKey:#"title"];
[item setObject:link forKey:#"link"];
[item setObject:pubDate forKey:#"pubDate"];
[item setObject:category forKey:#"category"];
[item setObject:description forKey:#"description"];
[feeds addObject:[item copy]];
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string {
if ([element isEqualToString:#"title"]) {
[title appendString:string];
}
if ([element isEqualToString:#"pubDate"]) {
[pubDate appendString:string];
}
if ([element isEqualToString:#"category"]) {
[category appendString:string];
}
if ([element isEqualToString:#"description"]) {
[description appendString:string];
}
else if ([element isEqualToString:#"link"]) {
[link appendString:string];
}
}
I feel like there is something missing, can someone please help?

I inserted an enclosure tag instead so I was about to get it working with this: Xcode Get image url from rss feed
