Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Hi,
I’m still unable to get the plugin to work. The only thing I see is “Failed to connect to flickr.com!”
- I’ve ran phpinfo, and I have PHP 4.3.X with DOM-XML enabled;
- I’ve gotten my number from flickr;
- There are two spaces before the tag
- I haven’t used a title for the article;
- And the latest version of textpattern
My textpattern does talk about some security issues and says something about register_globals. I’m don’t know much about php, so that doesn’t really do it for me. The site is in a subdirectory. I read about all the photos being in sets. Is this required? I haven’t read the entire thread, I feel a bit lazy. I’ve tried to get the plugin to work for a couple of days now, hoping it was just the server at Flickr, but alais. My code is: txp:vdh_flickr nsid=“42135728@N00” / (maybe someone can get this to work on their site?)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Same here: “Failed to connect to Flickr.com”. Seems to be a recent developement with Flickr API or something, as I had this exact same setup working until recently. This is a major bummer, I can’t use it on a production site if it’s going to be breaking constantly.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
It works for me!
I have several different sites using this plugin and all work fine right now. I have been working on and viewing a couple of these sites several times a day for the last week and I have had zero “failed to connect” errors. (i am using the latest version of the plugin as well)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Yeah, it looks like Larf’s demo galleries are working too. Hmmm, I wonder if this is a host related issue. I am currently with DreamHost, running PHP5. Anyone have any ideas of what this could be? It seems doubtful it’s a Flickr issue, but it still might be. I would love to get this working again, it’s by far my favorite gallery solution for TextPattern.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Do you still have the problem? Perhaps some of the flickr servers were temporarily down?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
I hadn’t used this plugin for a while and when I started using it recently some of my older flickr galleries would display, but the new (as of March 2006) galleries would not. Not sure if this is related somehow…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Since I’m not having these problems, I thought I’d throw out some more info. in case it helps: Bluehost is my server and I am still using PHP 4.4.1 with version vdh_flickr_0.8.7.txt of the plugin.
Here is one of my sites using vdh_flickr – there are 10 flickr galleries featured and they all belong to separate flickr accounts (I am pretty sure that every account was created since the switch to Yahoo).

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Yes!! I found out why I couldn’t get the plugin to work!! I used the tiny wysiwyg editor plugin, and that probably screwed up my code.. It works!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
I’m with everyone else…Dreamhost, PHP5, failed to connect. I’ve been using this fantastic plugin for a long time and it seems to have gone belly up. Help! ;)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
From the sounds of it, it’s a DreamHost issue. Anyone have any luck with this? Maybe a recent upgrade at DH broke it?
