FoxSaver feature request

[mentalist3d]

Hi All

I've just installed a plug-in for mozilla firefox (FoxSaver: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5276) which automatically displays images when your browser is idle for a length of time. One of the features is to display images from RSS Feeds that you specifiy so I pointed FoxSaver to http://art.concepts.org.uk/rss.php which was an extension to my site I downloaded from this forum (Easy RSS Feed, I think its called), unfortunately FoxSaver doesn't recognise the file (it does work) so I was hoping someone may help me configure the file so FoxSaver can read the images and display them automatically or create another add-on for Coppermine that will allow FoxSaver to recognise and display the images.

Any help or advice as always is totally appreciated.

Thanks - James

PS - I must apologise if this is the wrong board, I know I am asking for support but I was unsure if this would qualify as a feature request since I'm also asking for a feature based on FoxSaver. Apologies to the Dev team and moderators if I've posted in the wrong category :-(

I moved this into the support section, but forgot to post a reply.

The plugin needs the RSS feed in a different format; apparently 'Media RSS'. Shouldn't be too hard to convert the plugin you use to media RSS format.

Hi Nibbler,

Thanks for the reply and link, I'll check it out today and let the board know how I got on :-)

Thanks again - James

Have a look at xfeed. This will do what you want but it only feeds the recent x additions to your gallery to the RSS feed.

Have a look at thishttp://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=22951.0 thread where it is available for download.

Thanks Colin

I did begin writing up the script based on Nibblers suggestion, but I ended up trying xfeed because I'm lazy (why reinvent the wheel) and it works a charm, took seconds to get working and tested with FoxSaver, everything works ok :-)

Thanks again - James
