[plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr

Bripper · 2006-07-13 23:48:30

I’ve just installed the plugin and impressed with it so far.

However I’ve an odd error coming up when I click on a thumbnail image. The larger image appears fine, the following appears at the top of the page:

tag_error <txp:vdh_flickr_img_date_posted/> -> Warning: strftime() expects parameter 2 to be long, object given on line 829

I’m just running the plugin in the basic default mode, as described in the Quickstart section of the documentation.

Any ideas what’s going on here?

I will fix this in the new version. Until then you can go to Admin -> Preferences and change the Production status to “live” to suppress error messages.

Thanks for the quick response (and a great plugin)!

That’s done the trick. Now I can’t start knocking it all into shape for my site :-)

Hello Ralph,

Congratulations for you plugin. I would like to publish my Flickr photos on my website and I think your plugin is my best solution for the moment.

Anyway, have you ever considered using the excellent phpFlickr library as a base for your plugin? I think it would make your life easier.

Yes, using an api would make my life easier. But unfortunately, TextPattern currently does not have a possibility to package several php files into one plugin file, so the installation would be more complex for the users. But the next major version will use an api, either Phlickr or phpFlickr.

Nice decision!

For the more complex installation, I think it would not be too difficult for the users to just drop a library file in /lib. Then a plugin can easily import it:

<code>include_once txpath.’/lib/my_lib.php’;</code>

I think you should go for phpFlickr because it’s a much more active project, it’s used by a lot of php scripts, and it’s compatible with php4.

This is an amazing plugin, for which I have been extremely pleased with as well as my client on whose site I have been using – until it stopped working!

I am having the same problem as several other users have experienced – I am now getting a blank white page instead of my fantastic Flickr gallery. As stated, it was previously working splendidly.
I am using php 4.4.2, and am not able to upgrade to php5 at this time. Does any one have a solid answer as to why this happens? Like other users, when I remove the vdh_flickr tag in the article, the page displays correctly.

Another strange behavior – when I go to edit the plugin, and click ‘save’, I get a 406 acceptable resource not found error – but this does not occur when I edit and save other plugins I have enabled. Bizarre.

My client is freaking out because the gallery is no longer working, and I just had him sign up for a pro Flickr account to handle all his photos. Any help would be appreciated, thanks to anyone in advance.

The plugin works fine in my MAMP-environment with PHP 4.4.2, so I don’t really know what the problem is. I can only offer that you give me access to that host and let me take a look.

seanxian · 2006-07-18 16:53:07

Update: problem solved. There was a problem with my server – my site was moved by my hosting company because of a problem with the original server (which they repaired). The new server must have had different configurations, or the php was configured incorrectly. I had them move everything back to the original, now repaired server, and the gallery is working again. Anyone who wants a look, it’s on a client’s site: <a href=“http://stepupproductions.com/gallery”>stepupproductions.com/gallery</a>

Thanks again, this is a fantastic plugin, my client is supremely stoked!

Good to know.

Hi,

I’ve posted this also under troubleshooting but maybe someone else has run into the same problem and knows a way to solve this:

“I have a problem with the vdh_flickr plugin and am almost sure this has something to do with the PHP version. My webhoster is running PHP5 besides PHP4 to avoid problems with current scripts. In order for me to run PHP5 instead of PHP4 I have 2 options (they claim):

1. all file extensions change to .php5 instead of .php
2. create a .htaccess file with AddHandler php5-script .php in it

I guess option nr. 2 is the easiest way but what do I have to do to get this working? When I add the code to the current .htaccess file I get an internal server error. Do I have to create a seperate .htaccess file and upload that to a specific textpattern folder?”

UPDATE: problem is solved, my hosting company had to adjust the memory size(?). Option 2 works fine for me now.

Maarten

I’m having the same problem as seanxian (I think). I’m using php 4.3.11, and not able to upgrade to php5. I’m getting blank pages again and again. Have been trying different ways to get it working, using tips I gather from this long thread. Doesn’t seemed to help much. I’ve noticed that many people have reported the similar problem of a blank page, what is the REAL problem?

Can someone (or larf) take me through a real dumb-beginner’s walkthrough on the most basic steps again. The documentation has it, but I’ve followed every inch of it. Maybe I’m doing something not right…

Getting real flustered working on it…
Thanks in advance for some help.

Hello and thanks for a wonderful plug-in!

Firstly I don’t know if I’m in the right place to post this but I’m using this plug-in, so i guess it is.

I have a layout problem, maybe it can be solved by css or maybe by editing my <code><txp:vdh…></code>-tag. Basically I want thumbnails to open the ‘big’ image in another place then where the thumbs are. Right now it opens where it ‘should’ be if it where a regular kind of gallery, sadly it destroys my design as it is. A image may describe it better, here you are.

I use this kind of tag<code>
<txp:vdh_flickr_thumbnails nsid=“XXXXXXXX@N00” set=“XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” thumbnails_form=“thumbnails” random=“12” />
</code>

And i figured it might be something with use_articleurl=“1” but I don’t believe so anymore.

I just returned from a holiday today and will be looking into all your issues soon.
