ipeRSS (english version)

Overview

Deutsche Version? ipeRSS

Via ipeRSS it is possible, to view ones pictures (uploaded at ipernity) in a Wordpress powered blog. The only requirement is, that PHP is allowed to access files hosted elsewere in the web.

This plugin only displays pictures – but this it does very customizable. It’s possible to use 74×74 pixels small preview pictures up to 1024 pixels width large “preview” pictures. The display is customizable via CSS, tha class gets provided via the function call.

Of course the plugin allows caching. Per default it caches hourly. But only, if an user acesses the blog. If not, nothing will be done. Only if one hour is over AND an user accesses the blog, there will be created a new cache. The caching interval is customizable, too – Same with the amount of pictures shown.

Of course one can use more tha only one single gallery. I. e. one in the Sidebar that refreshes every 10 minutes and shows the last three pictures uploaded at ipernity by using 75 pixels thumbnails, and one on a special page that refreshes it cache every 10 hours and displays the last 20 pictures. Whatever one want.

Current version: 3.0.0-beta3

Installation

After downloading and extracting the RAR archive, the directory “iperss” needs to be put on the webserver into the Wordpress plugin directory at “wp-content/plugins/iperss”. If it should be another directory, the file “iperss.php” has to be edited: Line 69 needs to be adjusted.

After downloading the archive and uploading the directory , the plugin is at standby and the only thing, that is to do now, is going to the administration backend and activating the plugin.

The function call

There are two ways to display an ipernity gallery. The function call is the same in both ways.

< ?php iperss('userid', count, 'size', 'class', 'target', 'inter', 'cacheid'); ?>

The blank amongst “< ” and “?php” is a bug in the syntax highlighting extension. It has to be “

By the way: It would be nice, if you make a note, that you’re using ipeRSS and linking this note to http://blog.schlunzen.org/iperss but you don‘t have to so.

FAQ

Q: I always get „Could not load feed“ or something like that. Why? And how to wix it?
A: Maybe your hosting provider don’t allows PHP to access files hostet elsewere in the web. If you know a little about PHP and stuff, have a look in the “iperss.php” file for more informations about this. If you don’t know much about PHP, i’m sorry, the plugin don’t works on your blog.

Q: I always get „Could not write cache file“ or something like this, why?
A: The user, that runs the web server needs to have read and write permission to the files “cachedate-[cacheid]” and “cachestore-[cacheid]”. If you want to save some time and work, allow the user to read and write the directory, that contains the plugin. If you don’t want to do this, you always need to create the cache files by yourself and set the permissions manually.

Q: Nothing is displayed?! I only se PHP code?!
A: If nothing is shown, you try to run the function within a page not basing on a page preview or in an article. I both cases you need something like RunPHP, to runn PHP code in articles and pages. For creating the function call you need to switch the Wordpress editor to HTML view.

Q: Aaaaahrg! It’s all destroyed!!oneoneeleven!11!1
A: Aw, that’s bad … :)
