Joe,

I’ve just tested this with the latest version using your feed URL (https://feeds.feedburner.com/yankodesign) using php5_curl and fopen and I have been entirely unable to reproduce your issue in Chrome, Safari or Firefox.

If I am to troubleshoot this further, I will need to see the plugin malfunctioning on your blog so I can attempt to diagnose the cause.

Hi Joe,

The version repository is here on www.ads-software.com; here is a link:
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/anyfeed-slideshow/download/

I wonder if the issue is related to fopen? Who do you host with? If you can, could you add (or ask for) mod curl for PHP to be installed? I will do more testing on my end to see if I can determine a cause for this issue.

Thanks for sticking with it!

Hi Joe,

What version of WordPress are you using? I just pasted that link into the plugin on my blog; it immediately started displaying images.

[jquery.form] terminating; zero elements found by selector
jQuery("a[rel^='example4']").colorbox is not a function
[Break On This Error] maxHeight: "90%",

Found in “mycolor.js.” If you disable the plugin calling that javascript file, does the Anyfeed Slideshow work?

Hi Joe,

That sounds like it could be a different Javascript Error elsewhere on your site. Could you provide me a link to check it out?

Thanks!

Hi Iandiwolf,

Your first feed worked flawlessly on 1.0.12, stock settings; images showed up without issue or provocation.

The second feed, upon closer inspection, does not have any thumbnails included. The XML looks like this:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

There are two full size photo links but no thumbnail links in that feed; without available thumbnail links, the plugin obviously cannot display thumbnails. ??

Iandiwolf – I will check into this today. Thanks!

Hi Pterophyta,

As you’ve made a second post about your feed placement and the NameNode issue has been corrected in the latest version, I am marking this “resolved.”

Thanks! ??

Hi BeautifullyInvisible,

The Anyfeed Slideshow does not at this time resize images automatically, as I could not find a method that looked good for all circumstances. For Flickr and Picasa feeds, the thumbnails could easily be set to display with 240px as a max size without any major overhead, which is why those feeds appear to “Resize” their images.

A solution for resizing images is planned in future development.

As for why your feed looks identical using both Content and Thumbnail options; the RSS feed you’re using is not a Media type feed; it has HTML content which includes images, which is where it is pulling them from. There are no Thumbnail type images to pull from in the feed; as a result, they do not function.

I will add to my list of future development a method of determining the type of feed, and provide only customization options relevant to that feed. Thanks for the idea! ??

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help!

Hi rvdbend,

Make sure in the settings for the widget, in the “Feed Options” menu, you have “Thumbnail” selected for Feed Media Type. I have some regex in the feed proxy that increases thumbnails to their medium size (something like 240 max width/height). As mentioned above, I’m using a Flickr feed on my blog and that feature is working just fine. ??

Let me know if it gives you any more trouble.

Thanks!

Hi iandiwolf,

I use a Flickr stream on my personal blog and it’s working just fine; perhaps it’s not reading your settings?

Try this: Edit the Widget and save the settings (you shouldn’t need to change anything). Let me know if that works for you. If not, try deleting and re-installing the plugin and re-adding the widget; that should work 100% of the time.

If that doesn’t fix your problem, could you please provide the feed URL you’re using in the plugin?

Thanks!

Thank you, Jfreake, for lending a helping hand in my absence! I have added this fix to the latest version.

Hello everyone!

I’m so sorry for the extreme delay in fixing this! Life has a funny way of piling everything on you at once. jfreake, Thank you so much for sharing your solution with everyone here, I seriously appreciate it. <3

jfreake’s fix to this issue will be included in next version with appropriate attribution.

Hi Pterophyta,

There is not currently a way to set the position of the feed relative to it’s container; by default it displays images from the top of the container. What configuration are you trying for?

Thanks!

Hi Craig,

Could you give me the RSS feed URL you’re having trouble with? It looks as though the feed is returning empty after being parsed.

Thanks!
