How to pull images from Followgram RSS Feed

Permalink
Hi,

Firstly thank you to the community for all the great information contained across this site. I have been pleasantly surprised by concrete coming to it from Drupal.

I am trying to display a small grid of images from Instagram on my site.

Currently they don't offer a way to do this so I am using:http://followgram.me to generate the following RSS feed.

feed://followgram.me/_ianw/rss

<?xml version="1.0"?>
                <rss version="2.0"
                        xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
                        xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
                        xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
                        xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
                        xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
                        xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/">
            <channel>
            <title>_ianw's instagram vanity url - Followgram.me</title>
            <link>http://followgram.me/_ianw</link>
            <description>Feed instagram of _ianw</description>

            <language>en-us</language>
            <item>
Viewing 15 lines of 23 lines. View entire code block.


The feed shows the last twenty items.

I foundhttp://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/developers/how-to-di...

I was hoping that this would give me the answer but sadly it didn't work for me.

I'm using Concrete 5.4.2.2 with the WordPress for Concrete5 1.4.8 plugin. Working on the default theme and attempting to add the RSS display block to the sidebar.

Without modification it displays the titles as links to the images on followgram's site. After adding the modified view.php file as per the article I lost the Main Content area completely.

Unfortunately my knowledge of PHP is limited so I'm a little lost. Can anyone point the way? Ideally all I want are the images preferably in a way that they link to the larger image on followgram's site.

I ran across your post as I was attempting the same thing today. I know this is over a year old, but I'm curious to know your solution, and I'll post what I did here to see if anyone has a better idea.

I usedhttp://www.jqueryrain.com/?RmC3FveW...
It is a script that works with jQuery and allowed me to pull a RSS feed straight from instagram usinghttp://instagr.am/tags/[hashtag... name]/feed/recent.rss
I think this only works with hashtags from Instagram, but if you use another service like webstagram it can output an RSS feed of a user.

Have you tried the 'Performance C5 Instant Gallery' by Tallacman?

"Display your instagram feed on your site with this easy to use block. Simply input your Instagram ID available at Embedagram, choose the number of images you want displayed and the size you want them at and Insta Image does the rest."
