In a recent new website seminar it was suggested we get used to using JSON feeds rather than RSS and try the 'json content importer' plugin.
The Ramblers help document on feeds suggests the format
• Basic syntax –
www.ramblers.org.uk/api/lbs/walks?groups=DE02
(for a list of all walks by this group)
• Full syntax –
www.ramblers.org.uk/api/lbs/walks?groups...Saturday,Sunday&dist
ance=4-10&limit=5&dow=1
i.e. it looks ver simialr to the RSS feed format
However the syntax for JSON content importer is for example
[jsoncontentimporter url=”https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/json-content-importer.json”]Version: {version}, {downloaded} Downloads, {num_ratings} Ratings: {rating}%[/jsoncontentimporter]
I've tried with their example
[jsoncontentimporter url=http://www.ramblers.org.uk/api/lbs/walks?groups=GR01]test[/jsoncontentimporter]
and this produces the word test about 8 times - probably the same as the number of matches for GR01
How to merge the to syntaxes to produce something useful?
