BuddyPress.org

Ok i understand what the plugin should do, that’s not much difficult to do,

this week i’ve lot of thing to do, so i’m not sure i’ll make this plugin,

if someone is interested to make this plugin asap could contact me to donate to bpdev

I already have a working External Blogs plugin. Requires SimplePie. It adds a new settings menu to set up an external blog and saves it to the user meta table. It’s displayed under Blogs > My Ext. Blogs and provides template tags for display in the front end.

The settings page has the following fields:

– Blog URL

– Check feed button (after entering the blog URL, the check feed button checks the blog for discoverable RSS feeds and reads the result into the following fields)

– Feed URL

– Blog Title

– Blog Description

Finally, the plugin also implements a user selectable blog avatar. Users can select from a number of pre defined thumbnails. This part could be taken out.)

All data is stored as one option in the user meta table.

As it is now, the plugin has specific wording and naming for our site requirements but that can be edited easily and modified to create a generic plugin. I can provide the plugin code to you if you want to use it as a base for a generic community plugin.

Looks like we’ve got a solution in the pipeline, so I’m marking this one as resolved.

I’m going to leave this topic open for discussion about the topic until the official plugin becomes available, in case there are feature requests, etc…

So, is this still happening?

Excellent, thanks Nicola!

Easter holidays stopped developments

The code is almost done, need to make it working with latest bp

I’m eagerly awaiting this plugin as well.

I have something similar at my current home-baked site; members can add an RSS feed to their profile, showing their blog on their profile page and the latest posts of all members on the members homepage.

My version uses SimplePie as well, but there’s a lot wrong with the code. It doesn’t properly check if the submitted URL is really an RSS feed for example.

And I would have no clue how to transport it to BuddyPress, with the complicated way profile data is stored over several tables.

Go Nicola Greco!

I had to study a lot these weeks, so i stopped development, i hope it will be released when the final will come

Anyone?

the code is almost completed, i have to remove dependencies to some flokka stuff, too much busy these weeks

@nicolagreco, good to hear that this extremely useful plugin is almost ready, please let us know when it is fully cooked

Im awaiting this plugin too..any updates Nicola?
