Import image from RSS to website

[Mathias]

Hi!

I've got a little problem using Pixelpost with Wordpress.

I want to show a thumbnail of my last Pixelpost picture in the sidebar of my Wordpress blog. I have a RSS widget in my sidebar, and with the widget I can format my RSS-feeds like this:

<li><a href='^link$' title='^description$'>^title$</a></li>

Can anybody what I have to do, to show my thumnail here? I've tried:
<img src='^enclosure=>url$' />

but it didn't work.

Thanks in advance!

Try using image instead of enclosure.

The code to show the thumbnail is around line 122 in includes/functions_feeds.php. The whole line of code is:

$output .= "\t\t&lt;img src=&quot;".$image."&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;\n";

The code for the enclosure just produces a link to the full-size image, not the thumbnail.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, it works! Just one little problem; $image gives the link to the full size picture, is it possible to get a link to the thumbnail, or do I have to resize it with the width-attribute? I hope it's possible to link to the thumbnail because a full size picture is slow!

Thanks a lot!

OR, you said you were using an RSS widget.

So you must have Pixelpost's RSS options to show the full-sized image. You will have to alter your Pixelpost RSS settings to show thumbnails or hack your RSS widget so it adds the necessary thumb_ prefix.

If you want, I can send you my own custom widget. A user requested I re-write this plugin, http://weblog.raminia.com/wp-hacks/ , to support multiple pixelpost blogs and I finished doing that only a day or two ago. I can send you my plugin or widget as you call it.

But $image gives the complete path to the image... So I get: www.mydomain.com/pixelpost/thumbnails/thumb_http:/www.mydomein...

Or is it my doing something wrong?

[Mathias]

The widget you wrote is written for wordpress? In that case it would be very kind of you to send it to me! You'll find my email in the board administration?

[Dkozikowski]

Yes, the widget is for Wordpress.

Download: Latest Pixelpost Photo (for WP) v1.05 (http://public.dwilkinsjr.com/pixelpost/myaddons/LPP105.zip)

And some crude documentation: http://www.dwilkinsjr.com/public/pixelpost/docs/wp_latestphoto.html

If you cannot figure out the relative path, give me the link to your Wordpress blog and Pixelpost blog and i'll be able to map it out for you.

Any suggestion where to place the <?php show_latest_pixelpost_thumbnail(’../photoblog folder/’) ?>?

[Dkozikowski]

You can place <?php show_latest_pixelpost_thumbnail('../photoblog folder/') ?> where the feed code used to be or above / below it


<?php show_latest_pixelpost_thumbnail('../photoblog folder/') ?>

<?php /* if ((function_exists('feedlist')) and is_home() and !(is_paged()) ) { ?>
<div class="sb-feedlist"><h4><?php _e('Feedlist','k2_domain'); ?></h4>
<ul>
<?php feedList(array("rss_feed_url"=>"",
"num_items"=>10,
"show_description"=>false,
"random"=>true,
"sort"=>"asc","new_window"=>true));
?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php } */ ?>


As for the relative path, i cannot tell you with the links you provided. I'll need to know the actual path and not a subdomain.

E.G. http://www.example.com/photoblog/ NOT http://photoblog.example.com


Anyway:

Say this is true for you:

http://www.example.com/photoblog/

AND

www.example.com/wordpress/

<?php show_latest_pixelpost_thumbnail('../photoblog/') ?>

I'm sorry, but the subdomains are my blogs, they are not in the www folder...

You can try the Pixelpost Promote Addon - you install the addon, then just add a line of javascript to your wordpress template.
