General Support: RSS: Last added picture

Hi, I love the plogger gallery and have it up and running for some weeks now. However, I want to put the title of the last added picture on my homepage of my website. Something like : ´Last added picture : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - (date)´

For this to use it would be nice if i could use the rss system.

How can I get the last image title out of the (or adjusted) rss creator ?

thx, Aad

I will wait for Beta 3 ! When is it due for release ?

cheers, Aad

Ok, got it working with an other available (dutch) PHP script:

<?php
/*
======================================================================
lastRSS usage DEMO 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This example shows, how to
- create lastRSS object
- set transparent cache
- get RSS file from URL
- access and show fields of the result
======================================================================
*/

// include lastRSS
include "./lastRSS.php";

// Create lastRSS object
$rss = new lastRSS;

// Set cache dir and cache time limit (1200 seconds)
// (don't forget to chmod cahce dir to 777 to allow writing)
$rss->cache_dir = './temp';
$rss->cache_time = 1200;

// Try to load and parse RSS file
if ($rs = $rss->get('http://foto.aadvanboven.nl/plog-rss.php?level=&id=0')) {
// Show website logo (if presented)
if ($rs[image_url] != '') {
echo "<a href="$rs[image_link]"><img src="$rs[image_url]" alt="$rs[image_title]" vspace="1" border="0" /></a><br />n";
}

// Show last published articles (title, link, description)

foreach($rs['items'] as $item) {
$datum = substr($item['pubDate'],5,11);
echo "t<a href="$item[link]">".$item['title']."</a> - <font size="1"> (".$datum.")</font> ";
}

}
else {
echo "...helaas niet beschikbaar. n";
}
?>



however...

The Plogger RSS-feed generator is very slow... It can take op to 20 seconds for the server to generate the xml-code. And the server is not a small one...

Any way to speed things up ?

thx, Aad

Found the solution ! :

Find this line of code in plog-rss.php:

$thumbpath = generate_thumb($row['path'],$row['id'],'rss');

Put two slashes in front of it (making it a remark):

// $thumbpath = generate_thumb($row['path'],$row['id'],'rss');


Thumbnail generation for the RSS feed is now disabled !

cheers, Aad

Hi Mike, unfortunately, that is not the case. With every RSS request the thumbnails are generated again. I have checked and see a the creation time of the thumbnails being the last request time of the RSS-feed.

probably a bug...

cheers, Aad
