With the use of CGFeedMaker 1.0 and Album 0.9.3 I was able to put something together. It was fairly simple. I set mine up to display the last 15 uploaded images using the "recently_updated" action in Album. The feed template below calls for specific Albums but I would suppose you could call images by categories as well. I am sure any combination of parameters that you can specify for Album can be used.
Look for the smarty comments to walk you through the template. ex: {* comment *}
Code: Select all
{* Display photos from the Album Module in a RSS Feed *}
{* This template displays the most recently added photos *}
{* Specific albums can be specified *}

Some RSS Aggregators don't like displaying the actual photo and it displays a link to the photo instead. If you view it with Konqueror, FireFox or Internet Explorer photos should be displayed.
