Title: FoxSaver feature request
Post by: mentalist3d on February 20, 2008, 06:33:38 pm

Hi All

I've just installed a plug-in for mozilla firefox (FoxSaver: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5276 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5276)) which automatically displays images when your browser is idle for a length of time. One of the features is to display images from RSS Feeds that you specifiy so I pointed FoxSaver to http://art.concepts.org.uk/rss.php (http://art.concepts.org.uk/rss.php) which was an extension to my site I downloaded from this forum (Easy RSS Feed, I think its called), unfortunately FoxSaver doesn't recognise the file (it does work) so I was hoping someone may help me configure the file so FoxSaver can read the images and display them automatically or create another add-on for Coppermine that will allow FoxSaver to recognise and display the images.

Any help or advice as always is totally appreciated.

Thanks - James

PS - I must apologise if this is the wrong board, I know I am asking for support but I was unsure if this would qualify as a feature request since I'm also asking for a feature based on FoxSaver. Apologies to the Dev team and moderators if I've posted in the wrong category :-(

I moved this into the support section, but forgot to post a reply.

The plugin needs the RSS feed in a different format; apparently 'Media RSS'. Shouldn't be too hard to convert the plugin you use to media RSS format.

Have a look at xfeed. This will do what you want but it only feeds the recent x additions to your gallery to the RSS feed.

Have a look at thishttp://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=22951.0 (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=22951.0) thread where it is available for download.

Thanks Colin

I did begin writing up the script based on Nibblers suggestion, but I ended up trying xfeed because I'm lazy (why reinvent the wheel) and it works a charm, took seconds to get working and tested with FoxSaver, everything works ok :-)

Thanks again - James
