Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
It is most probably something about your server, like DNS not behaving properly. Can you somehow reproduce the error?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
That’s what I figured, but I’m not sure how to tackle that problem. I can’t make it come and go as I please, all I do is visit the gallery page and notice it won’t load most of the time.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Sorry, currently I have no idea what the problem is. But the gallery does actually work from time to time?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Does anyone have the plugin working with php 4?
I’m working on a website whose host says php 5 will conflict with their control panel and that it won’t be upgraded for a couple of months. So we’re stuck with php 4.4.4 and I can’t get things to work. Are there any workarounds?
Is there a way to setup php 5 as a secondary option on the server and have this plugin use it?
thanks for any and all suggestions.

Yes, like right now it doesn’t connect.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Ralph,
When I upgraded to 4.05, the (now defunct) sgb_url_handler plugin was causing all my file_download links to give 404 errors, see here. It seems that plugin has been surplanted by gbp_permanent_links. Is there a way to get clean urls using that plugin instead? And do I just keep the .htaccess file the same as in the instructions on your site? Thanks a lot.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Will look into this soon! Seems like this is possible.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Also, and I’m not sure when this crept in, the txp:vdh_flickr_tag_list_all tag doesn’t seem to listen to the wraptag attribute, and the list doesn’t pay attention to the width for the div I have it in, spreading left to right and creating a horizontal scroll bar in the browser window just to see all of them see here .

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Sorry for that, will look into this one, too. May take a week or two, though.

Ralph,
Nevermind on the wraptag thing, I think it is working fine actually, not sure what the heck was going on!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
I’m temporarily using dirty urls with vdh_flickr, but some of the links generated by tags like <txp:vdh_flickr_img_next> and <txp:vdh_flickr_img_tags /> continue to be “clean”, and I can’t get them to be dirty. I tried uncommenting the part in the code that says
global $clean_urls;
$clean_urls = 0;…but it doesn’t seem to work. I have clean_urls=“0” set in the main vdh_flickr tag as well, so not sure why those links are staying “clean” when I want them dirty. Any thoughts?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
ralph, you might be interested to see phpflickr.com. drawing from their code, you might be able to focus more on txp and less on the connection between the flickr api and php.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Yes, I already tried rewriting this plugin from scratch using phpflickr. It was never completed, though. The latest version is vdh_flickr_alpha_03.zip.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Hmm, it seems the time to retrieve images from flickr to display in my site was quite slow.
Is there any workaround to make it faster? Or, is it cause by the loading time between my webhost and flickr?
Actually, this is not a problem if the plugin is used only for displaying in the site; problem appears when I try to retrieve RSS feed with feedburner, it seems the long load time had become “Server Time out” error for feedburner/feedvalidator..

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Sometimes Flickr’s servers are slower than others. I wish it was faster too sometimes, especially as I like to have 4 random photos displayed on every page on my site, and this adds a couple seconds to the load time.
