BrainFeeder RSS plugin

[halnat]

Hey, so I did as instructed uprgade:
http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#upgrade
to cpg1.4.21.
But the plugin still does not work :-(
http://www.svetfotek.net/rss.php?fid=4
and there arose the problem :-(
Everywhere where we had some Smail shows something else.
Example:
http://www.svetfotek.net/displayimage-11748.html

This: http://svetfotek.net/smaily/xchat/72.gif is shown as http://www.svetfotek.net/images/thumbnails.gif
   
Where there may be a problem?
Tahnk you

Hi Goman,
I'm sorry you are experiencing problems with the plugin.

When I click on your rss.php link above, the browser returns a blank page, however by viewing the source of that page, I see some HTML code that cannot have been generated by the rss.php file included with BrainFeeder. Is there any possibility that you are using a rss.php file from somewhere else?

Hya Natvik,

Are you planning on having a random-function in your feed?
Like random X-number of pictures of the complete album on creation of the feed.

Hi the randomizer function has now been implemented in version 0.6
Please download from the first article in the thread.

just a little bug i've found. i have some some .mov files (VRs) in my gallery.
the feed is fine as long as the "Enclose picture" option is set to no.
but when it set to normal or original, it takes forever for the feed to load...
i guess it's because it's uploading the whole thing to the rss feed, but i dont see a reason for it. cant it just put the link in the rss body?
i noticed that this feature is important for site like facebook that unless you add this option, the picture does not show in the body of the message.
keep up the good work

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't tested it on .mov files, so I'm not completely sure how it will work. Brainfeeder locates the file by adding the prefix you have designated in the configuration screen of Coppermine and then uses an algorithm to estimate the filesize. This only happens when you include the picture, and is one possible reason for the long processing time.

If you set "enclose picture" to yes, it is only a link that is included in the feed - a RSS file can only contain text, so including the .mov file itself is not possible - use the "view source" function in your reader to see how it is. The aggregator or client program decides how the link is processed. Some aggregators will download it, some don't and some have options that let you decide. If your client is set to download included files, that is another possible reason for the long processing time.

One way to find out, is to set the feed up as a batch feed and then run rss.php without any parameters (will only output a blank screen). If this finishes rapidly and the xml file is generated, then the reason for the long processing time is that your client or aggregator is actually downloading the file.

Let me know how it works out for you and thanks for providing input. I will improve processing of other filetypes than pictures in the next release.

Functionality for better handling of other media that pictures has now been added to version 0.7
Now you can also set a parameter for the feed to decide whether movies etc. should be included in the feed or not.

I installed and configured today this plugin. But I see not a file http://www.ameland.net/coppermine/rss.php?fid=1

[Nibbler]

Read the instructions. You need to copy the file there manually.

You need to give your feed a logo image. Do this by giving a picture a special keyword and then type this keyword into the field "Keyword for logo picture" - more here: http://www.natvik.com/bfdoc/brainfeeder_doc.html#logo_keyw

Hi, there's a problem with attaching the normal picture size. Use one of the other options. I will post an update soon that will fix this problem.

If you are familiar with editing php script files, you can edit the rss.php file and delete or comment out line 350. This will fix the problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks, now it's works for this part.

Hi,

I have published a new version that makes it easy to create a caption with the pictures in the feeds. The caption is built by using both free text and "anchors", which are specific tags that retrieves data from coppermine or from the exif metadata in the pictures. This way your feed can include information such as date of the original picture, camera settings, name of the album and category etc. You can of course also include the caption or description from coppermine and the picture story from miniCMS. This way, it is now easy to generate content rich feeds that includes both dynamic content and meta data about the picture.

This plugin is now complete with all planned features - hopefully many of you will find it useful.

Version 1.2 posted as an attachment to the first posting in this topic.

The version available in the list of plugins on sourceforge is really old - I hope the project can update there as well

[Joachim Müller]

This is not a valid plugin, as it requires files to be copied around, hence my reluctance to look into it frequently. There's a naming convention that the attachment doesn't correlate to. I'll update asap.
