I've looked without success for a YouTube.com RSS parser. I would prefer one for use with WordPress if it's available. My goal is to set it up on a site for a specific category/keyword such as say, "mountain biking": http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/videos?q=mountain biking&client=ytapi-youtube-search&alt=rss&v=2 . Then have all the videos from this rss feed displayed and updated on my site automatically. Is this even possible? Any suggestions you can provide would be appreciated, thanks!
I just used your RSS Feed URL with SimplePie 4 WP and using the blog style full template, it comes through without a hitch.
When you use it with WordPress, will it continue to add posts/videos all one just 1 page or can WP create multiple pages? Can you limit how many rss posts/videos are shown on every page via WP admin or elsewhere? The reason I ask is I'd like to set this all up and let the site build itself on autopilot and not just 1 huge page of videos but rather many pages. Is this possible in your opinion?
Basically I'm to this point: Wordpress can do just about anything you would want. Keyword: CAN. So yes it can do exactly what you are asking. Will it cost a lot of time or money ? Yup. I probably have most of the pieces and parts needed to do what you want. It won't be feasible out of the box though.
Forgive my ignorance, but why would it take a lot of time and money? What needs to be done to do what I looking for? Does WP not accept RSS feeds into posts for example? Please explain if you don't mind, thank you
Takes time: > you don't know how to make it accept posts from an RSS feed. So you have to ask people and learn how to do it. Takes money: > you don't want to learn, don't have time etc. Then you have to either buy a solution or hire someone to create it. Wordpress does not accept RSS feeds as posts. It's a blog >? You're supposed to type stuff into it and it publishes it. Plugins exist which will automate the posting part. I don't know of a plugin to take an RSS feed, break the feed down into individual entries then post those. And right there you have to be careful. What happens if you call the feed and it has 8 items from the previous feed? GIGO (garbage in, garbage out). That's just getting started. Your fast solution is to go look for the commercial auto blogging plugins for WP. And that's about all I have time for, back to work.
