WP-SmugMug Plugin for WordPress

[atow]

December 20th, 2008: UPDATE BY ANDY: NEW Version here!


Everyone:

I just released WP-SmugMug, a plugin for WordPress and SmugMug today. Specify the RSS feed url for a SmugMug album in your post, and the plugin will display thumbnails and links at the end of the post content. The HTML and CSS is customizable in WordPress's admin section.

You can see examples of the plugin in action here:

Hi :)

Yeah, I know, I removed it for now. Haven't had time to go back and play with it more!

Is there any way that a plugin similar to Flickr's RSS sidebar module?

I'd like to have what I currently here: http://www.peterfilias.com but using SmugMug.

Just thought I'd share that I found a problem with this plugin (actually it turns out to be with MagpieRSS) when a large gallery is linked (>300 or so). I tracked it down to an OLD version of MagpieRSS being used by default in all of the Wordpress installs. However, it's very straightforward to update...just dump the latest release of MagpieRSS anywhere on your server and update wp-smugmug.php to include the new file. I upgraded to MagpieRSS 0.72, and it's working like a champ. Get the latest version here...http://magpierss.sf.net

I actually have this on my site... its working for the Recent Galleries RSS Feed, and I'd like to add one for the Recent Photos. But for some reason, MagpieRSS reads the Recent Galleries feed fine but its not returning anything for the Recent Photos (thus, its not displaying on the page). I thought initially it was my code - but I installed wp-smugmug and it had the same behavior. When I added the recent gallery feed, it displayed images, it didn't display anything for my recent photos.

I think this is an issue with WP's built-in magpierss - but I can't prove it. I've downloaded the latest version and put it in the site, but its conflicting with the built-in version if i include it. Any help on this end would be appreciated. I'm thinking of making this a plugin.

I did this in ASP using a custom built RSS reader, and it works fine - so it can't be the feed itself.

My smugmug album is http://mnmdl.smugmug.com


ETA: I've completed the plug-in... yay! (except for the Recent Photos error/bug mentioned here). Check it out in action!

The link to your plugin page does not work for me. Is there a new location for it?

Bump:

Is there a way to combine this plugin with a “light-box” effect, such as offered using this plugin: http://www.laptoptips.ca/projects/wp-shutter-reloaded/

I’d rather have the pictures pulled into the post by wp-smugmug open up “light-box”-like instead of redirecting the viewer directly to the album.

Is that workable?
thanks!

OK... dumb question here... how do I find the RSS Feed URL?

right at the bottom of your smugmug page click on -> "available feeds" -> available fees appear, copy the link, that's it

[rkalla]

Adam great addition to WordPress, thanks!

[Dramatapix®]

Thank you for pointing me to the link for the RSS code, however I have created code to remove that link from the bottom of my pages, so I can't get it from there. Is there a generic format for the feed that just includes different gallery numbers?

Secondly, I have installed this mod three times, and can't get it to work. Is there something I am doing wrong?

I have loaded the appropriate file into the plugin folder, then activated the mod in the admin panel. When I create a post, I use wp-smugmug for the field type, and then added the RSS URL (which someone gave me from another post) to the added field.

Nothing appears though when I do this. Is anyone else having this issue? Am I missing something?
