Photofeed version 1.1

Photofeed is a small content plugin for #Joomla! 1.5 that allow you to inline a set of images from your favorite online gallery: Smugmug, Flickr, Picasa or any RSS feed in any article.
Ed Henderson (http://www.henderland.net/) has submitted me a patch today that correct and improve Photofeed by a huge margin. It has done such a great job that I deliver this version now. I plan to add in the next version Photofeed 1.2 full support for gallery2 (aka G2), don’t forget to request new features in the Smugmug forum support board
July 7, 2009 – List of fixes and enhancements from Ed Henderson
Bug fixes
- Fixed malformed image URL (had double-quote at the end and not at the start so didn’t display properly in lightbox)
- Fixed problem with "@" and single-quote in captions (this broke the php code)
- Fixed $library not being passed thru to rss_parse function (this caused the image to not be viewed via lightbox)
Enhancements:
- Specify the thumbnail size in pixels
- Specify if square thumbnail or maintain aspect ratio (if not square then thumbnail size just specifies the height)
- Now recognize multiple {rss…} tags in a single article.
- Specify thumbnail size and square thumbnail in {rss… size=90 square=yes|no} tag to override system-wide defaults. Or if tag element left blank i.e. "ulimit=" then defaults to system default.
- Specify thumbnail border width in pixels
- Added special section in the code for Picasa so that viewing largest image (800px) could be possible.
- Added more verbiage to photofeed.xml to help with plugin usage.
Future enhancements to do
- Recognize single and/or double quotes in {rss..} tag
- No order to tag elements – i.e. size=75 could come first in the {rss…} tag
- If tag element missing then just take default – at this time all tag elements must be in the tag to work
- Ability to choose size of image to view – now defaults to largest for Picasa.
Testing: Note that I have tested these changes on Picasa only. I believe it will work with the other photo sites as I made changes to their code for any enhancements I added.
