Easy RSS feed

[davieb]

Hi I think this is the first RSS feed I've ever got to work out of the box 

However is it possible to remove the image description from the feed? The idea i have is to use the feed on the front page of our site but some members have a habit of writting REALLY long descriptions which throws the page out of whack.

Cheers

Works as expected for me on http://www.gokufanclub.com/cpg/ :

• Google-Link: http://fusion.google.com/add?source=atgs&feedurl=http%3A//www.gokufanclub.com/phorum-5.2.8/rss.php results in
• My Yahoo Link

However, you should make sure not to use an apostrophe in your description, as that translates to ', which looks pretty ugly imo.

Edit the rss.php and remove the <description> bit.

Nice app, but is there any way of getting the album description in the feed ?

Very useful and...easy plugin, but it needs a fix to work with titles containing HTML entities.

In rss.php, change the line

Code Select Expand

              <title>'.($picture[$titlefield]?$picture[$titlefield]:$lang_plugin_easyrss['no'].$lang_plugin_easyrss['label_'.$titlefield]).'</title>
to

Code Select Expand

              <title>'.($picture[$titlefield] ? html_entity_decode($picture[$titlefield], ENT_NOQUOTES) : $lang_plugin_easyrss['no'].$lang_plugin_easyrss['label_'.$titlefield]).'</title>

Hello,

I have fixed the problem with categories, it should work now. At least, it works for me :-)

In addition, I have added the album name in the feed title in case one wants to subscribe to several feeds in the same gallery.
You can now also choose to use the picture filename as entry name, it is useful if people don't write titles nor captions.

Christophe.

Maybe it's just me.

Unzipped `Easy_RSS-1.2.zip'
Moved `Easy_RSS' from directory `Easy_RSS-1.2' into `plugins'
Selected Easy RSS to be installed from pluginmgr.php, but when selecting the install-button at the Easy RSS settings it won't install anything
I already tried to set the permissions of the root directory of my album to 777, but no results

Any hints?

All I want to do is show the normal images in a RSS-feed so they can be showed at my new digital picture frame

I've had the same problem to install it. But when you set the language of Coppermine to English, then go to the Plug-in Manager. Install the Easy RSS and then it's been installed. Then you can set the language of Coppermine back to Durch and you have your Easy RSS working.

That did the trick.

I think I blew some stuff with my 'own' theme

I had to switch to the default theme and turn the language switch on to be able to change the language.
It didn't work with my own theme

Now reconfiguring the feed so that I get the normal pictures and more than 10.

Thank you for your tip.

Done

I've edited your plugin to a 'new' one which is an image-only feed.
My digital picture frame and http://www.framechannel.com/ only support this kind of feed.

At framechannel.com you can choose multiple feeds to be shown at random, at my frame I can only choose one feed.
I wanted multiple categories, but not all to be shown at my frame.

Basically I just edited your rss.php and renamed it to framechannelrss.php and created a framechannelrss.gif.
The references to them are also edited.

Now I can just go to the desired album, copy the feed-url and paste it at framechannel.com

The installation is the same as it was with Easy RSS feed:

• The directory of the gallery (root) has to be writable for the installation script to put framechannelrss.php in it, or you have to copy it there yourself.
• The language of the gallery have to be English.

Hi all,

Once installed and configured, how can I reconfigure the plugin?
I seem to not be able to do it in the Coppermine.... Any hints?

Thanks, and by the way, an excellent and transparent plugin! Well done!

I found a solution: you have to edit the database:
Table: e107_cpg_config
Entries: plugin_easyrss_*

I can live with this config at the moment.

Randomise RSS?

I've been looking for a way to randomise the created feed.
I wan't to have randomly chosen images in stead of the last X-images.

I guess some of the variables in

Code Select Expand

$data = get_pic_data($album, $thumb_count, $album_name, $lower_limit, $thumb_p
er_page); has to be changed.

Am I correct?
I thought about

Code Select Expand

$thumb_count = 0;?

Is there anyway that this rss feed can be edited to show the last comments?
Thanks

Houston, We have a problem.

I installed the Easy RSS 1.2 plug-in, and all seemed well in the plugin manager, HOWEVER, I notice that everyone else on here has their rss.php in the root of the gallery, and I don't. I have to navigate to /gallery/plugins/Easy_RSS/rss.php to find the file, and when I try to open it, all I get is a page with:

Code Select Expand

Warning: require(plugins/Easy_RSS/lang/english.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/brummie/public_html/gallery/plugins/Easy_RSS/include/init.inc.php on line 21

Warning: require(plugins/Easy_RSS/lang/english.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/brummie/public_html/gallery/plugins/Easy_RSS/include/init.inc.php on line 21

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'plugins/Easy_RSS/lang/english.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/brummie/public_html/gallery/plugins/Easy_RSS/include/init.inc.php on line 21

Looking at the directory in FTP, all the CHMOD settings seem not to be quite right. I'd have thought that they would need to be 755 to be able to execute, but they all seem to be 644

Any idea what may be going wrong? Is there a way to install this manually in case the plugin manger is at fault?

Thanks in advance.

Cut RSS.PHP from your actual directory, and Past this file in the Gallery's root.
Try it.
Enjoy

Any idea how I can clean up all the broken image links though?
