I Need Help with Instadub's RSS photo posting feature

Post by tifforr »

Hi there,

I'm trying to send this RSS feed to my Instagram account using Instadub (http://feeds.feedburner.com/AllGoldEverythingZ). I searched the forum and found a tutorial on how to setup the template for posting, but I really don't understand it.

Can someone tell me what I should use as my template for the RSS function, so I can automatically share the photos from the above feed to my account?

That is not an RSS feed, it is:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/AllGoldEver ... format=xml

Then you need to decide what image it is you want. The small sample imageon the feed, the linked larger image, or an image off the linked web page

Martin,

Thank you for your assistance. Now that I've decided which image I want to use what do I need to do as far as templating goes?

hmm, my posts seems to have disappear. :S

Was sure I posted here..... Well it isn't here so here we go again:


So the Item element is:
<item>


If you look at the feed, you will see the bit you want is:

Code: Select all

<media:content url="https://rlv.zcache.com/rose_gold_tissue_paper-rf48eca27cb2e4004994ddea8d1af4231_z6ltx_500.jpg?rlvnet=1" />
so in the bot you need the element
<media:content>

and the xpath to the url attribute
@url

which would be

<media:content[@url]>


But you will need to update:

as there was a bug fix for pulling attributes from the XML element
