    I have been using Plogger and like it very much. I have been messing with the php code to try to generate an RSS feed of latest albums and can not seem to get it. I would like the feed to contain links/thumbnails to the most recently added albums. Basically this would be a feed of the collections page but sorted by most recent album. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

    Do you want to handle the RSS for the main page differently than for a certain collection? Currently, the RSS for the main page lists all images of the gallery. Did you want it to list just the collections from the main page or list collections and albums from the main page? Or did you want the collections, albums, and images all merged together in 1 RSS feed (so a "collection" RSS feed listing (with name and description) would be listed inline with a new picture uploaded to that collection?). I'm just wondering what format you would like to have in the end? Maybe an example could help?

    ok, exsample, i have plogger set up with 3 category "categoryA", "categoryB", "categoryC", in each category i upload each time 1 or more new gallery, with title and description (about the gallery) and 0 info about images (no caption no description).

    So i want the feed to show NOT the images, BUT the gallery.

    feed title: latest gallery added in categoryA linked to hiw own url (www.sitewithplogger.com/categoryA/title_gallery/)
    feed description: the gallery description.

    feed title: second latest gallery added in categoryC linked to hiw own url (www.sitewithplogger.com/categoryC/title_gallery/)
    feed description: the gallery description.

    And so on...

    I tried to do this with a external script who create feed from mysql databases, BUT is impossible, because in the table "plogger_albums" the "path" NOT include also the category url, only the title url, so the feed created link the gallery without the category path, for exsample "www.sitewithplogger.com/title_gallery/"... :(

    I hope i explained good.

    Best Regards.

    Okay, I have an idea of how to accomplish this, but I need to know just a little bit more.

    Do you only want a list of albums, or would you like a list of collections as well? I'm assuming this layout:
    - collections level => RSS feed of all newest albums
    - single collection level => RSS feed of newest albums within that collection
    - single album level => RSS feed of pictures within that album
    - single picture level => RSS feed of comments on that picture

    Does that sound right?

    ok, thank you for try to help!

    So:

    yes is ok, except i dont need about album and picture level... anyway if you can do like this will help also other people who maybe neet "the whole pachage" so please if you can, do like this.

    I will edit alone to have just the 2 option active and no feed in single album level and single picture level.

    Best Regards.

    I am also interested in this.

    Posted By: sidtheduckOkay, I have an idea of how to accomplish this, but I need to know just a little bit more.

    - collections level => RSS feed of all newest albums

    When I upload a new album with dozens of images at one time, the RSS image feed is overwhelming.

    I haven't had any time recently to look into this. I may have some time in the next couple of weeks, but it's been a busy couple of weeks.

    I would also love this feature...seeing interest in this feature was the reason I considered Plogger as no platforms seem to offer that and that was a requirement for me when changing from Coppermine ;)

    I have this working on my test site -> http://sidtheduck.com/plogger/

    If you would like to take a look and give me some feedback, I can work on making it an option to the core files or I can send a patch file (based on current SVN code) or I can send the modified files (again, based on current SVN code).

    I went to the test site and some of the links in the feed from the collection page gave 404 not found errors

    Yeah, that's fixed now. It had to do with the 'plogger/plogger/' part of the URL. I changed the collection name to 'test' and it's working now.

    it seemed to work for that one, but the link to "another" was still not found in the feed...

    If it is ready for prime time, let me know and I will get it setup on my site for testing...

    It should be working. Have you tried it recently?

    Okay, I've updated the descriptions for the albums so they should be showing up now. I did not have any descriptions entered for the albums on my site before.
