awesome man !! will try it when i get the chance this week 🙂 (need to update my ch systems too first)

thx for the mod

 

[pinit]

thank you, installed on my site, http://p-in.it/rss

 

[Denpa]

You're welcome!
If you have any issues or questions be sure to contact me via this thread.
I'll be glad to help.

And by the way, later today I'll be updating this mod to support not only categories but also per-user feeds.
So each user will have their own feed which will contain only their images.

edit. Done!

Can someone give me some advice... http://mydive.photos/rss <--- shows errors saying can't divide by zero etc, etc.

This only came about after an update to 3.5.5

Oops~
It seems that I've overlooked a change in a way that chevereto handles medium generation.
Chevereto now doesn't generate medium for images smaller than specified medium size(which is quite logical thing to do actually 😛).

I release an update incorporating necessary checks to fix this a little bit.
Until then you can safely delete whole 127 line from rss.php and it'll work again.
Sorry for the troubles.

You can use the image chain prop to tell which sizes are there. 😉

Thank you!
I assume it's this one:

I've seen it taking the value of 5 for images with no medium and 7 for images with medium.
Does it work like some kind of sum(like 1, 2 and 4 in chmod)?

edit.
Nevermind, figured it out myself from class.image.php

// original image medium thumb
$chain_mask = [0, 1, 0, 1];

Thanks for well commented code and fast response 😉

 

[Rodolfo]

There are two chain instances in the image object. You have the plain chain which is stored in the database and that is the representation of the binary image chain and you have the filereource->chain->array which will tell you which sizes and files are available (url for external storage, filepath for local storage).

The image chain table can be found here: https://chevereto.com/src/img/misc/image-chain.png

 

[Denpa]

@mydive
Updated the mod to detect available image sizes.
In case anyone interested I used bitwise AND on chain prop
e. g.
(bool)($image['chain'] & 1) // mask 0001 to detect a thumbnail
(bool)($image['chain'] & 2) // mask 0010 to detect a medium
etc...

Replace your "/app/themes/Peafowl-custom/views/rss.php" with the one from "mrss_chevereto_v05d.zip" above and error should be gone.

 

[Denpa]

If anyone still uses(or struggles to use 😛) versions prior to 0.7.0(released 2014/11/22), please update to the current release(0.7.1).
By this point these versions are considered obsolete and no longer supported.

Thank you.

Nice tool!

 

[Denpa]

upd. 2016/10
Mod suddenly updated for compatibility with latest chevereto versions. Please update your websites to the latest version - 0.7.2.

 

[Saxbald]

Wow, Denpa!

What a fantastic piece of work!

 

[lovedigit]

It should be included in core files. 🙂 Great work @Denpa. Congrats!

It should be included in core files. 🙂 Great work @Denpa. Congrats!

Sadly not before fair bit of cleaning and refactoring 😉
It was long before chevereto has the theme view override support and before I realised that reinventing the wheel is not always viable development strategy.

But I'm working on updating to be at least close to chevereto development standards.
New version will use picoFeed library (https://github.com/fguillot/picoFeed)
support categories feeds (e. g. https://yoursite.com/category/keyboards/rss)
and will be fully configurable from dashboard.
