RSS Feed with CoolIris question

[Montec]

Has anyone been able to use a SmugMug RSS feed to work on a page with an embedded CoolIris wall?

I am using a gallery feed to a specific gallery in SM.

I have followed the instructions to the letter from the CoolIris site and cannot get my feed to display on the wall.
I get a page that displays a feed from Flickr?... of photos I do not have any link to.

My test page is here (http://www.salmo.net/cool.html)

The code used to embed the CoolIris wall is below. Can anyone tell me if the feeds look correct for 'recent photos' from my site?

I've asked for help, stay tuned. Might be a day or two, the engineer responsible is finishing up a holiday :)

[Montec]

I think what needs to happen is that there needs to be a crossdomain.xml
file in the root directory where the RSS feed is generated. Does SM have this file?

I have it in the root of the website where this page is hosted.

Thanks,
Monte

Dev is just back from his holiday. I'll email him again for ya, Monte.

MC,

If you add &Sandboxed=1 to the feed url, you should be fine...

eg..

http://api.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=gallery&Data=7561415_V7VXZ&format=rss&Sandboxed=1

Cheers,

David

[Montec]

Thanks for the reply. From what I understand the ampersands (&) act as delimiters for the flashvars attribute in the code so only one parameter can be passed to the feed.

I need to provide the feed string you gave me below without the '&'. Any way to do this? I tried replacing the & with %26 but still no go.

yeah, it seems that cooliris is doing something silly there, so if you encode the entire url like below, you should be cool...

Thanks for your trouble...still not working.

Don't bother with this unless you have spare time, it is not important.

As you guys found, the Cooliris plug-in's embed code wants the Flashvars to be delimited with %26 instead of ampersands. The problem is that SmugMug's editor for gallery descriptions and bios converts that %26 into an ampersand and then Cooliris doesn't read the variables.

Sucks.

Cooliris works fine with SmugMug feeds as long as it's not on a SmugMug page that munges the symbols. Check out my Cooldate hack:

http://www.rudebadmood.com/cooldate/?nickname=dgrin&startdate=2009-01-01&stopdate=2009-04-05&sort=asc&dateby=DateTaken&submit=Submit

So uh, yeah, it'd be nice if you could fix that, guys.

(Hrm, it'd be interesting to see if the API can set a caption that contains %26. I seem to recall that with keywords quotation marks got munged when they finally made it back out to the site.)

[Montec]

Well...good to know so I can stop trying to get this to work :(

I checked your cooldate hack and can load all my SM images into CoolIris on your site...wish I could do it on mine.

Have you tried editing a gallery description from the customize gallery screen which works slightly differently than editing it inline? Or editing the Bio from the control panel? I don't know that they will preserve %26, but it might be worth a try.

There's also probably a javascript solution where the URL is inserted at run-time with javascript rather than put through Smugmug gallery descriptions or the bio.

Hey, that works! Cool! Using the "Customize Gallery" screen I embedded Montec's code into my test page here:

http://gladlee.smugmug.com/gallery/6741949_a2iRP

Nice workaround, John!

Unfortunately I didn't have any luck getting it to work with the Bio control panel (https://secure.smugmug.com/homepage/settings.mg?settings=bio)

Double urlencoding the url works for the bio box.

Hi Dev -- aren't you supposed to be on vacation? :-}

Code please, since that page only shows the correctly rendered result?

You mean whatever the code is for percent and then 26? So like, %2526? That seems like a recipe for failure. But let me try it...

Can anyone tell me in plain english how to replace the slideshow on my site (www.meesoon.smugmug.com) with the wall from cool iris?

Hi Jerry, I tried all the suggestions above and from the tech people at Cool Iris...no luck. Something to do with SM.
Here is a solution. Put the photos you want on the CoolIris Wall on Flickr and follow the instructions on the Cool Iris site...works easy as pie.

I was trying to get a CoolIris wall using a SmugMug gallery on another site. I could not get it working.

[Glory2Jesus4Photography]

? It's working just fine here? http://devbobo.smugmug.com/
Ok I know this is an older thread but instead of starting a new one I hope some one can help here it comes up on the search.
I have been trying to get a cooliris wall into a gallery so I have a recent photos page. Here is a link http://glory2jesus4photography.smugmug.com/gallery/9307125_328NF to the Gallery I have been trying to put it in.
I can not get it to work correctly. I have the code in the gallery description and when save it in the customize gallery the wall does not show any photos. and when I save it by edit in the gallery the photos will show up but only for me. I understand that Devbobo has in running in a bio box and I can not even copy his code and get it to work.
So I must have something messed up somewhere so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Corey

the urls need to be url encoded twice to work.

Okay... So I think I get this. In order to get the correct feed 'syntax' you need to choose the SM RSS feed you desire, change the "nickname" to api and add the &sandboxed1 to the end of it.

Then you need to convert that to syntax that is flash friendly. So here's what I've done to date:

1) Choose Feed RSS:
feed://koolfog.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=popularUserCategory&NickName=koolfog&Data=Residential&format=rss200

2) Change to API and Add the sandbox reference
feed://api.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=popularUserCategory&NickName=koolfog&Data=Residential&format=rss200&Sandboxed=1

3) Go to Wiki (http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Feeds+with+Flash) then to Javascript URL converter (http://www.xs4all.nl/~jlpoutre/BoT/Javascript/Utils/endecode.html)

and converting gives me this:
feed%3A%2F%2Fapi.smugmug.com%2Fhack%2Ffeed.mg%3FTy pe%3DpopularUserCategory%26NickName%3Dkoolfog%26Da ta%3DResidential%26format%3Drss200%26Sandboxed%3D1

But I still get an error asking me to ask SmugMug to throw a filler xml file to the root level of the domain hosting the photos: (by the way can't we just do THAT?)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*.cooliris.com" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>

And wouldn't my web browser still be able to access the feed with the converted link?
(http://feed%3a%2f%2fapi.smugmug.com%2fhack%2ffeed.mg%3fty pe%3dpopularusercategory%26nickname%3dkoolfog%26da ta%3dresidential%26format%3drss200%26sandboxed%3d1/)

But no. It gives me an error. I even tried this tool (http://www.joeworkman.net/products/cooliris/) (see bottom of page) to convert to a "flash friendly" feed URL and got this:

feed%3A%2F%2Fapi.smugmug.com%2Fhack%2Ffeed.mg%3FTy pe%3DpopularUserCategory%26NickName%3Dkoolfog%26Da ta%3DResidential%26format%3Drss200%26Sandboxed%3D1

which looks almost identical to the other except with some upper and lower case action going on... but even it doesn't work.

Shouldn't this be easier?

Am I doing something wrong here???

[worldrider]

Update:

Using converted URL code that Dev guy here posted on Page 1:
http%3A%2F%2Fapi.smugmug.com%2Fhack%2Ffeed.mg%3FTy pe%3Dgallery%26Data%3D7561415_V7VXZ%26format%3Drss %26Sandboxed%3D1

However, if you look close at the converted code you'll notice there is NO NICKNAME...

But that code worked in my quick test...

Can we figure this out? Does it relate to the "NICKNAME"

thanks

It also will not work if I try and save from customize gallery.
If you notice that I had to remove Photo and 200 from the code to get to work this much if I leave either Photo or the 200 at the end of the rss it gives me some code I am supposed to put some were that I am not familiar with.
Any and all help would be apriciated I really do need some help.

Corey - For a test, tell me if you put Kootenay's code into your test if it works:

I have found that this snippet of code works in my RapidWeaver site I'm trying to integrate CoolIris and SM with... but no matter what Feed I try to use and convert from my client's SM galleries, I can't get it to work... yet THAT snipped of code WORKS!!! Go figure...

Yes it does work but only for the first time after the save in description edit. but like I said in post above if I refresh the page it does not work and It can't be seen from any other browser. So I know that the code is close but it has an error somewhere.

[worldrider]

Interesting....

Well, I just created an HTML document on my desktop and took your code and it has no problem refreshing in Safari 4.x on Mac...

But I'm not putting into the SM site...

You mentioned you needed to pull out Photo and 200 from your feed. Can you tell me what the feed you're starting with looks like and where the photo and 200 sit in that feed.

Here's a screen shot of your code after I refreshed a bunch of times:

I start with the resent photo rss feed http://glory2jesus4photography.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nicknameRecentPhotos&Data=Glory2Jesus4Photography&format=rss200
I just take that add the &Sandbox=1 and convert it on the page that Devbobo posted or the cooliris page here http://developer.cooliris.com/?p=embed/display
If it works some where else I am guessing that either there is more that needs to be added some where on SM or That it just does not work in SM.
I noticed that no one has given any solid code when it is asked for in previous posts so there must be more tricks then just the code Cooliris supplies.

Andy Thank you so much for posting the code it works. Devbobo's code is different then what the converters give us.
If you look at Devbobo's and at mine you will see that in between the % and the replacing # he has added a 25 to it so in mine I had things like %3A%2F%2Fapi and his is %253A%252F%252Fapi If that is what he meant by encoded twice I missed it I hope this will help other figure it out easier.

Thanks... I'm wading through this and it's very convoluted.. I got some of this working and thanks for the tip on better images...

more to come...

[worldrider]

I've got this to work:
http%253A%252F%252Fapi.smugmug.com%252Fhack%252Ffe ed.mg%253FType%253Dgallery%2526Data%253D7561415_V7 VXZ%2526format%253Drss%2526Sandboxed%253D1

and I got this to work:

http%3A%2F%2Fapi.smugmug.com%2Fhack%2Ffeed.mg%3FTy pe%3DpopularUserCategory%26NickName%3Dkoolfog%26Da ta%3DResidential%26format%3Drss%26Sandboxed%3D1

And remember, I'm not trying to include a Cooliris wall in my SmugMug account. Rather, I'm simply trying to feed a website with images stored in SmugMug galleries using cooliris as the Feed Reader, so to speak, and giving some additional cooliris functionality to the website as an embedded gallery. That way users don't need to have the cooliris plug-in to get that functionality -- much like embedding in SM here as others are trying to do or have done, as in Peter's example.

That said, after fiddling for hours I noticed the feed://api.smugmug.com/xxxxxxx

just won't work... beyond the other messing around that url must begin with HTTP.... that's nuts, but it's true... :scratch

So I've got the above working fine. Then I tried another feed here from SmugMug on one of my personal galleries:

RSS Feed From Gallery (http://api.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=gallery&Data=5585387_GXafC&format=rss&sandboxed=1) (active RSS link) this using the following code:
http://api.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=gallery&Data=5585387_GXafC&format=rss&sandboxed=1

When I convert this code to a flash/cooliris friendly string:
http%3A%2F%2Fapi.smugmug.com%2Fhack%2Ffeed.mg%3FTy pe%3Dgallery%26Data%3D5585387_GXafC%26format%3Drss %26sandboxed%3D1

I don't get the previous errors, but my images don't show up. :dunno Only silhouetted outlines of where they should be. Rolling over these ghlosted outlines, I noticed that my captions or other EXIF/ITPC data shows up, but the images themselves don't show up.

You can see in this example

So obviously the feed is working to the degree that placeholders for the images appear and the other data is displaying when you rollover or click... but WHY CAN'T MY IMAGES DISPLAY? :ear

[worldrider]

in that case there is no nickname parameter because it's a gallery feed.

yeah... well, it took me a lot of looking and looking but the difference was that feed:// DID NOT WORK...

but http:// DID WORK

subtle...subtle

Suppose....that you get through the encoding game and get the Cooliris flash embeddable wall to display on your website....is it also possible enable "randomize" or "randomStart" the same way you can for the Shizam Flash slideshow? :scratch

I tried added randomize=true to the encoded feed URL string but that didn't really seem to do anything. My Cooliris wall is pulling images from my Smugmug galleries, just always in the EXACT SAME order every time the web page is refreshed, and that gets kind of old....

Can I get someone to provide the code adjustments to have this work on selected galleries on my site. Couldn't make out the gallery ID/Number code to change in the page 4 example code from above. Just looking to copy/paste correct code in the galleries of choice marked for using CoolIris.

Thanks for the help.

Ok...so I tried the double code plus sandbox code and got closer but still no cigar. Any hereo's in the house?

Edit: After further use did this not work as it required the download from a user in advance.

This was another option I stumbled on. I like that it keeps the CoolIris as a user option which they invoke or not. I simply copied my "share" feed link from the gallery of choice and used the TinyUrl converter from the Cooliris site http://cooliris.com/t/

I then added that link to the code below and pasted it in the gallery description where I wanted the option. Here's what the code produces:

Click This Link To Launch Glide Show (http://cooliris.com/t/ybto5fd/)

Here's what the result looks like in your gellery of choice.
