rss feed not working for blogger feedbased slideshow - mikkelbreum - 2008-07-17
Hi, I would like to know how to point the feed based slideshow-widget of my blogger/blogspot blog to my zenphoto feed and actually have it show the pictures.
If I point it to my flickr feed it works, but my zenphoto feed does not.
Here are the feeds as run through feedvalidator:
the working flickr feed:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.flickr.com%2Fservices%2Ffeeds%2Fphotos_public.gne%3Fid%3D13943416%40N00%26lang%3Den-us%26format%3Drss_200
the non-working zenphoto feed:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fziggylundgren.net%2Ffotoalbum%2Frss.php%3Falbumnr%3D9%26albumname%3Dzuhause
For some reson the last feed: http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fziggylundgren.net%2Ffotoalbum%2Frss.php%3Falbumnr%3D9%26albumname%3Dzuhause does not carry image data in a way that works for the glogspot widget..
can anyone suggest a solution?

You need a special RSS variant called "media rss", the zenphoto rss is a standard RSS feed. There is a 3rd party solution here: http://www.zenphoto.org/2008/01/hacks/#mediarss
Note: This has been done for an older zp version.

Why would you need a 'special RSS variant' to be a 'standard RSS feed' - shouldn't the RSS be 'standard' out-of-the-box, or am I missing something here?
Edit:
That might have sounded a bit harsh (sorry) - the reason I'm asking is that I have a ZP feed read by a standards complient RSS aggregator. It all works fine, except that the feed entries in the aggregator refreshes every time it parses the fee - I wonder if this has something to do with the particular timestamps on the feed items? I.e. 'pubDate' and 'lastBuildDate' change with every refresh of the feed - not of the gallery itself, causing some issues. Seems like most other frameworks don't update their RSS timestamp unless there has been a change in the content (i.e. creating a new album/uploading a new photo) - any ideas?
PS - great work on ZP, it definitely beats other OS gallery frameworks out there. Don't let that 'feature creep' get you though

Don't ask me and before another user asked half a year or so ago I never heard of it, too. The media rss feed is a creation by Yahoo and others and is an extension of the "normal" feed.
Because it is easy here the Wikipedia entries:
