Feeds Image Grabber

Submitted by admin on Mon, 08/17/2009 - 05:32

Feeds Image Grabber (FIG) is the successor project for FeedAPI ImageGrabber to support the Feeds module. FIG parses the Item URL of each feed-item, downloads the appropriate image from the post and maps it to an image field in the node created by Feeds module for that feed-item.

[Google Reader (with thumbnails) can be imitated on a Drupal site by using Feeds, Feeds Image Grabber, FileField, ImageField, ImageCache, ImageAPI and Views module].

How it works
A classic method of mimicking the behavior of Feeds Image Grabber would be to do the same thing manually. Let us go through the procedure if you were to do it manually:

  1. Refresh the feed to create nodes for feed items (using FeedsNodeProcessor).
  2. For each feed-item, go to their respective webpage and save the image to display.
  3. Upload the image to CCK image field for each feed item.

Feeds Image Grabber automates the last 2 steps of the three step process described. Imagecache module can be used to create thumbnail of the image retrieved which can be attached to the node.

Note: Feature and Support requests should be made through the Feeds Image Grabber Forum. I may not be able to answer them here.

Bryson Bryant, Son of NeNe Leakes, Arrested on Marijuana Charge

Submitted by admin on Thu, 03/11/2010 - 04:28


For once, drama involving someone on The Real Housewives of Atlanta is NOT being scripted.
Bryson Bryant, the oldest son of NeNe Leakes, was arrested on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge on March 7.
Bryant is well known to any long-time Bravo viewer. During the first season of the show, Leakes looked at colleges with him.

“Like any parent, I am disappointed with the actions and arrest of my son, Bryson,” NeNe said in the statement. “Certainly, my husband and I will deal with this family issue in a private manner. My son is not the first young adult to experiment with marijuana, and he certainly won’t be the last.
"Still, as parents, this is a chance for us to have an open dialogue with him about the dangers of any substance abuse. I realize as a parent that my job is never done. And as I’ve tweeted, tough love was in order. Still, I ask that you respect our privacy during this trying time.”
We'll be glad to, but will NeNe do the same? The Real Housewives of Atlanta was picked up for a third season today, after all.

Benji Madden and Holly Madison: Future Roommates?

Submitted by admin on Thu, 03/11/2010 - 04:20


You wouldn't have expected them to be an under-the-radar couple, but Benji Madden and Holly Madison are still together.
The pair started dating in December and things have only grown more intense from there.
In fact, reports In Touch Weekly, Madden and Madison will soon be roommates.
“Benji cares very much for Holly. They have been talking about living together,” a source said, adding that Holly will soon leave Las Vegas to reside in Los Angeles with Benji.

 
Last week, the two were spotted making out at an IT BOYS! music video shoot.
“Benji kept telling her how amazing she looked. They couldn’t keep their eyes off each other,” said a witness.
That might have something to do with Holly's breasts, of course. They take up an entire room.

Jamie Jungers Wins Tiger Woods Mistress Pageant!

Submitted by admin on Thu, 03/11/2010 - 04:00


Radio magnate Howard Stern held his long-awaited beauty pageant for Tiger Woods' mistresses Wednesday, with Jaime Jungers taking home the dubious honors.
To the victor goes a $75,000 cash prize. And that to the hush money he likely paid to keep her from blabbing to the press or Elin Woods, and she did pretty well!
Jamie Jungers' win came after she answered most of the leering questions the radio legend threw her way, including those about Woods' anatomical endowments.
She's a classy chick, no doubt.
Also competing in the contest, which is simultaneously sad, absurd and hilarious, were Loredana Jolie and Jaimee Grubbs, who pocketed $15,000 as runners-up.

Jamie Jungers takes home the prestigious honor.
It was no surprise to see Grubbs taking part in the pageant, given that she shamelessly sold Tiger Woods' voicemail and has given umpteen interviews about him.
Loredana Jolie? No surprise there either. We would have loved to see a higher turnout, though. What else do you have going on, Cori Rist? Or you, Theresa Rogers?
Rachel Uchitel was barred from competing, due to her settlement with Tiger, which might have altered the results. Did the right woman win? Vote in our poll below!
Did Jamie deserve to win this prestigious honor, or should it have gone to another cocktail waitress? Which Tiger Woods mistress is the hottest?
