… just a playground to experiment with blogging

Are you using the great WordPress plugin ‘LifeStream‘  to add a LifeStream feed on your blog and want to include your Mobypicture posts into your feed? Here’s the solution:

Go to the the location of the LifeStream plugin (../wp-content/plugins/lifestream) and locate the file ‘feeds.inc.php’, this is the file that needs to be edited – don’t forget to backup the original; you never know, you might need it

Open ‘ feeds.inc.php’  in your favorite editor and insert the following code (can be right after the ‘<?php’  at the top of the file):

class LifeStream_MobypictureFeed extends LifeStream_PhotoFeed
{
    const ID            = 'mobypicture';
    const NAME          = 'Mobypicture';
    const URL           = 'http://www.mobypicture.com/';    

    function __toString()
    {
        return $this->options['username'];
    }

    function get_options()
    {
        return array(
            'username' => array('Username:', true, '', ''),
        );
    }

    function get_public_url()
    {
        return 'http://www.mobypicture.com/user/'.$this->options['username'];
    }

    function get_url()
    {
        return 'http://www.mobypicture.com/rss/'.$this->options['username'].'/user.rss';
    }

}
register_lifestream_feed('LifeStream_MobypictureFeed');

Secondly you need to add the Mobipicture icon () to the folder ‘.. /wp-content/plugins/lifestream/images/’. Make sure the image is saved as mobypicture.png.

There you go, you can now add Mobypicture in the LifeStream Feed settings! Check out mine…
