When I first wrote this I asked the developer to include these additions, but he just ignored me. It’d be much easier now if it were. Ah, c’est la vie. Let me know how your ‘hunt’ goes.

Yeah, that's what I feared... The new feeds.inc.php doesn't include most of that data, so I can start the scavenger hunt for all the bits and pieces >.<

Your walkthrough mostly worked though, so thanks :)

Yes, it goes into the pages folder inside the plugin folder. This one is just supposed to replace the one that comes with the plugin. One note, though: this one was built for an older version of the plugin. You should make the changes to the latest release instead of using this one.

Hi. Great walkthrough, really helpful (I’m making a Wakoopa one myself). Just one question – where does the feeds.inc.php go? Into pages?

Daniel,

Did that solution work for you?

Hi, Daniel.

I looked through the RSS feed you posted and it seems to be very similar to how Flickr rolls their RSS feeds. I would take the code from the Flickr in feeds.inc.php and change it to Ipernity's feed URL structure per my instructions above. That should do the trick! Let me know if this doesn't work.

Hi Logan! Greetings from Brazil!

Nice article you wrote… it’s been keeping me busy for the last 2 days, as I’m struggling to find a way to display my Ipernity RSS feed thumbnails in my own lifestream. Ipernity is a service similar to Flickr, in which you can share pictures, videos and music. My RSS feed link is http://www.ipernity.com/feed/doc?user_id=danielsantos&format=rss.

I’m not exactly very well skilled with PHP, so I wonder if you could help me finding out if is there any PHP magic you know of, that could make me display any of the two thumbnails included for every item in the feed? They are enclosed like this:

No matter what I do, I’m not being able to succeed. You’re my best hope…

Thanks in advance for any help or clue you might give me. Oh, my lifestream is at http://danielsantos.org/lifestream

Best regards! Daniel
