Easy RSS feed

[superdave]

great plugin ... i installed and am using it with no errors.

thanks for your hard work.

as a suggestion for future versions, perhaps creating an admin module to adjust features without having to uninstall/reinstall the mod.

cheers

Hi there!

I did some minor modifications to the package. The changes are as the following:
- Changed Feed-Charset from iso-8859 to UTF-8 (like recent Coppermine versions are, too)
- Added a radio button to choose "Title, if not available: Caption" + implementation for the feed
- Adjusted the english lang file according to above changes
- Added german lang file

I'll attach all the changed files. If you want to add these to your main package, just go ahead

P.S.: Argh, 3 attachments max. Gotta make a second post for the german lang file ^^
P.P.S.: Heh, php extensions not allowed for upload. I'll rename them to .php.txt. Just remove the .txt.

And the german lang file...

//edit: If there is a bug anywhere or a mistake in the translations... Please bear with me. I did this at 6-7am and I really need to get some sleep now

Hello, I have got a problem with this hack.
XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: "Junk" nach Dokument-Element
Adresse: http://www.bollybilder.de/rss.php
Zeile Nr. 12, Spalte 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-7"?>

This you will see, if you visit the Link "http://www.bollybilder.de/rss.php".
How can I fix it?

That's because javascript code is getting injected right before the xml code. Did you add that somewhere?

Hi there,

thanks for the plugin, just installed it and it works so far, but I've got some question and/or suggestions which features might be useful to add. I know the plugin is called "easy" RSS feed, but anyway...

-> Is there a way to display the album's name as the title of each feed item? Right now my feed items have no titles/captions in the feed reader because I don't give them titles or captions (and I'm not planning to do so because of the number of images which are added everyday).
-> Is there a way to display a full album per feed item? I often batch 30-60 images per album and having each image delivered as a separate feed item isn't really ideal; it makes the feed look kinda spammy and overwhelming if you got like 300 new feed items in your feed reader ;-)

If I got you right, this plugin doesn't work for categories right now. I really encourage you to implement this feature if you can. My image gallery is celebrity related (where celebrity = category) and the main reason I wanted a RSS feed plugin for coppermine, is because I want my visitors who are fans of a certain celebrity be able to subscribe via RSS to a certain celebrity, so he/she will always be notified if new images of his favorite celebrities are published.

OK, that's it for right now. Thanks for the plugin again!

Bye,
Celebrienne

Hi All, I'm having problems with this plugin.

After doing a few modifications as per TranzNDance's suggested in a previous thread (javascript getting injected before the plugin) I thought the rss was working but still not working and gives me an xml error instead...

Surprisingly it only works with Safari browser, not FF nor IE7...

Can you please check this out for me...Thanks so much in advance! I really need this plugin working in my site

Hi, forgive me for asking what may seem an obvious question, but I'm still rather confused yet excited about this plugin. The best way for me to resolve those would be to see a live demo of what a feed will look like I guess. If anyone would care to share that, I would greatly appreciate it! 

My main concern is if images themselves are being shared via the feed, and - if so - which ones. The thumbnails? Larger sizes? I've already taken steps to better protect the content stored on my site (visible watermarks), and code to block those trying to pass my work off as their own. But, if I'm blasting copies of those files out via a feed that shoots down some of those protection strategies!

Another fear is that removing this plug-in could prove to be a major challenge if tested on a live site. I'm having to rebuild mine (again!) from scratch as my hosting company cross-linked some of my databases during a server move. (Using only ONE database now so that can't happen again!) Needless to say, I don't want to have to toss everything out and start over yet again!

Thanks for comments!

[rubenix]

me again!!

have to say that for some unknown reason today is not working with safari neither!

here the error I get from feedvalidator.org:

line 42, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:42:0: xml declaration not at start of external entity [help]

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

How can I solve this??

Which feed gives that error?

sorry Gau-Gau for being quite impatience, i Know this is a support board and I really apreciate everybody's work to solve problems.

Sorry again and hope to get an answer for my problem whenever somebody has the time to look after it...

[ComputerLady]

Took the plunge on this one and am very happy with it. Feed uses only thumbnail images, for anyone interested, so minimal risks in so far as theft. Again, nice job on this and much appreciated!
