Hi,
Not sure how to do it best.
I would like to display, either on a sidebar, or on a page, the Nasa picture of the day (but not on a post, I'd like it to be always visible on top of things). The latter would be automatically updated each day.
I can't find (yet) a dedicated plugin for that. Is there a way that do not require much coding to do that ?
The Nasa picture of the day can be seen there :
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/iotd.html
My blog is there (it's in french):
http://www.lyrimages.fr
Thanks
i noticed a possibility to make a wordpress post from their site, but this is not what i'm looking for. I don't want just a link, but the actual picture.
Just to clarify.
Thanks
Grab the feed and extract the image from the feed.
http://www.nasa.gov/rss/image_of_the_day.rss
Assuming you can manage adding code ok, plonk this in whichever template file of your theme you want it to show up in.
<?php
$rss = fetch_feed( 'http://www.nasa.gov/rss/image_of_the_day.rss' );
if( !is_wp_error( $rss ) ) {
$rss = $rss->get_image_url();
echo '<img src="' . esc_url( $rss ) . '" />';
}
?>
That should get you started... ;)
