Embed Tumblr posts into website

 / Published in: PHP
 

URL: http://stocklamp.tumblr.com/post/274675902/putting-your-tumblr-posts-on-your-websites-the-easy-way

Embed Tumblr posts the easy way. Import the xml, split by post-type and seperate the different types of content. I had a hard time finding an easy way to do this and ended up mixing and matching info from 2 very helpful places (check the url\'s in the src) and a co-worker who\'s better versed in PHP than me.

Just what I was looking for, great stuff! Thank you for sharing

Thank you for sharing this little hidden gem. Why doesn't the photos or videos appear when they are being uploaded to Tumblr's server? It seems like photos or videos (eg. Youtube video) only appear... not the embedded ones. Any ideas?

Again, thank you for sharing!!!

I can confirm that Tumblr photo URLs are not resolving properly, but I can't figure out why. One slightly messy solution that does work however, is to change

Meant to say changing the photo-url-500 to simply photo-url and putting it as an iframe src. It works, if not very elegantly.

Photo-url-500 can't seem to resolve the media link that Tumblr uses.

Maybe Rembrand can shed some like on this, but if I find a fix, I'll post back.
