[WP-SmugMug] RSS feed more than 100 pictures

TheBubbleBoy

I use the WP-SmugMug plugin (great plugin :thumb) for WordPress to make a picture gallery.

However, I can't have more than 100 pictures in a SM gallery because the RSS only shows the first 100 pictures in a gallery and not picture 101, 102, ...

Since WP-SmugMug uses the RSS, I cannot show e.g. photos 75-115 on my WordPress blog. Is there anyway to increase the number of picture-links in the RSS gallery, get just a subset or maybe another solution (without splitting up the SM gallery)?

Thanks!

You can add &ImageCount=x to the url to increase the number of images returned.

Our feeds also support paging, where adding &PageCount=y, will return "y" images per page until "x" images.

Hope this helps.

Paging doesn't appear to work on a nicknameRecentPhotos feed.

Also, adding &ImageCount appears to modify the order of the photos received. For example, compare the first photo of this feed

http://preview.tinyurl.com/asrkrz

with the first photo of this feed

http://preview.tinyurl.com/c8ycyw

- they're different, but the only difference in the URLs is that the first one has &ImageCount=1 added.

For my app, which relies on the nicknameRecentPhotos feed to check for updates, and adds ImageCount=1 (as it only needs to check the most recent photo for an update), this is causing it to check the feed twice (again without ImageCount)... which is annoying...

Fingers crossed for a fix!

Thanks DevBobo

Just rewrote the RecentPhoto feed code, it seems lots betterer now...it will go live with our next push.

Thanks David

I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks again

ok, the new code is live

I think you broke it:

Compare
http://api.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nicknameRecentPhotos&Data=frb&format=rss200&ImageCount=1

with

http://api.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nicknameRecentPhotos&Data=frb&format=rss200

The first doesnt show any photos

There was some issues with limiting the PhotoCount, when videos were the most recently uploaded items on your account...a fix for that is live now.

Thank you for the thread op,

I have a problem with the Plugin and I was wondering if it's on my end?

I have the Collapsible pages installed & this plugin installed as a combo, For the life of me I don't know what's going on my galleries seem to be running into each other, I don't know if I should give them a page break? Or what do I need to do Please help me?

Here's the demo

Thanks for revealing the 'secret' ImageCount parameter...

I'm running in another problem, the caption field in the RSS feed is being cut of. It ends prematuraly with ' ...'

Is there anyway to increase the maximum number of caption characters (I tried &CaptionLength=xxx, but that doesn't seem to be the secret )


Also:

Is there anyway to turn off the automatic stripping of HTML tags? Right now, I have to write really unreadable captions such as <b>Title:</b> Bubblying<br> <b>When:</b> Yesterday... to get the proper HTML tags in the RSS feed. But typing <b>Title:</b> Bubblying<br/><b>When:</b> Yesterday would be way nicer and efficient....

Question might be a bit off topic, so I've made my question as a seperate thread, here.

ImageCount Limits
Hello,
Is there a limit on ImageCount or PageCount? I have tried a few times, it appears that Imagecount does not work and PageCount is limited at 200?

Thanks

devbobo

Feed paging is on by default now.

With feed paging, ImageCount sets the total number of images to be retrieved and then PageCount determines how many of those to display per page.

If you don't want feed paging, set &Paging=0 and use ImageCount to return as many images as you want.

Hope this helps,

David

Dev: This doesn't work for comments, which seems stuck with a limit of 10 per page, and without any next/prev links.

RSS feed broken
Hey David,

Support sent me to this thread, but I'm not sure if the recent changes you've been making is the cause of my Recent Photos feed not being populated.

Here's the link (the ATOM feed also doesn't work):

http://bruincub.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nicknameRecentPhotos&Data=BruinCub&format=rss200

However, recent galleries does:

http://bruincub.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nickname&Data=BruinCub&format=rss200

Weird. But I hope you're able to shed some light on the problem. Thanks!

Hi David,

A quick question - is there any way to get a feed for recent photos from a particular gallery? At the moment I'm using Yahoo pipes to filter the recent photos feed, but it would be nice to get a feed for each gallery directly.

Just having a "sort" parameter on the gallery feed would be great. Something like:

..../feed.mg?Type=gallery&Data=5193612_nTRNH&format=rss200&sortorder=recentfirst

Thanks,

Ben

Hey Ben,

We don't at the moment, you could get the result you wanted by sorting your album in that manner. eg. DateTaken or DateUploaded and order by descending...that way the feed will return the most recent first without having to use pipes.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

David

Where do I get code and where do I put code
OK, this looks like a great thing to add to my blog (www.journeyamerica.wordpress.com) ... but I'm confused.

EXACTLY where do I get the code to add it to my blog and EXACTLY where do I add the code in wordpress?

Thanks a bunch!

I'm totally lost, I can't seem to make this work at all. I put in the RSS feed URL, I have two galleries setup and it looks like it wants to display the image but I get those nice little boxes that aren't quite Red X's but basically the same.

I suppose I should have added the RSS feed huh?

The ImageCount for recent galleries feed has stopped working in FF3.5.
Only get three galleries.
Remove the count var and get 100's.

....&format=rss200&ImageCount=40

Feed Changes
Is it possible the recent changes to the feed code made (temporarily) all versions of images in the feeds available via links and that now that change has been undone?

I was going to submit a request about how to control the size/type of image(s) in the feeds but when trying to replicate what I saw I can't seem to...

If this IS controllable I'd still like to know how.

Thanks,
Trevor

DOn't know if this is still of actuality, I had the problem with a maximum of 100 rss feed item on a album for my Wordpress website with this plugin (valid for anything else).

Found that that putting ImageCount=-1 shows all photos in the album!
woohoo!

Add to cart/purchase link?
Hello Everyone!

So I've been playing around with my blog (http://blog.jarekn.com) which currently uses the lightbox gallery for displaying images as I find that the auto sizing of images is great for all resolutions...

Just recently I found this plugin which also works with the lightbox which is great - however before I jump and start re-uploading all images to smugmug I wonder if it be possible to include Add to Cart or Purchase link to each of the images displayed?

I think this would be a GREAT addition to the component

One more time THANX to the author of this plugin

I've been able to get up to 300 images to display through WP-Smugmug. However I can't get past that limit.

In my RSS reader I can pull down over 300 images, but when I paste the same modifed RSS URL into the WP-Smugmug it defaults to the "View at Smugmug" text. This implies the limitation is within the WP-Smugmug plugin. Is this correct?
