[plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr

You can use the plugin though and have thumbnails for all your sets display, then link to each image on flickr like I think you mean. Just add the attribute open="flickr" to your vdh_flickr tag.

If you want to use the plugin for more control than a flickr badge gives, you can adjust the link=”“ attribute. See the documentation for more info. You may need to setup your own forms instead of using the default to get things working exactly as you want…

I’ve had trouble, but nothing that extreme. I would:

make sure you have php 5 (Admin > Diagnostics)

delete and reinstall the plugin

check the tag trace in debugging mode to see where things break down

make sure you have straight quotes not “curly quotes”

then I wrote:

Well the first issue may be the problem! After much consternation and an eventual “DOH!” I discovered that my server has php 4.3.1, Now the question becomes, can I move it to php5? I seem to recall doing something like this a while ago, but it was on my computer, not at Pair. When I do such things I always like to talk to someone who knows what they are doing, least bad things happen. So, thats in the works. The strange thing about it is the error it caused. Why would it blank out everything?

Well, it turned out that my server was due for an upgrade, and has now been upgraded without me having to do anything :) now I have to deal with “Failed to connect to Flickr!” :( I’ve actually tried to get it to work on a couple of sites with no joy.

Hey guys, new to Textpattern and vdh_flickr. I was just wondering if it were possible to link a set to flickr rather than show the images on my site?

you don’t need a plugin for that. just use a regular flickr badge generated from your flickr account

Thanks guys, badge worked indeed!

Failed to connect to flickr.com!

Is all I get.

My domain host is Pair.com. (which is a Movable Type partner, oh well.)
Php 5.2.3 was just installed on my servers (during an upgrade by them, so I didn’t mess up)
Textpattern 4.0.4 and 4.0.5 same result.

I’m digging around, trying to figure out if I missed something. Any hints or suggestions for the stupid are appreciated. I really want to make this work.

My flickr account is: Operadad There are only three pictures up these so far — for testing purposes.

Two examples of not working
Paolino Painting gallery
Dave’s new woodworking gallery

Having trouble getting this plugin to show my private photos. Does that only work on vdh_flickr or can I also use email and password on thumbnails.

I’m wanting to show private pics from a specific set.

<txp:vhd_flickr_thumbnails email=“email” password=“pwd” nsid=“54337625@N00” open=“flickr” set=“72157602102544908” thumbnail_size=“s” form=“flickr_thumbnails” />

photonomad · 2007-09-21 21:47:23

rayne, showing private pics isn’t currently possible with this plugin:

Hi all together, I still have the error message: Failed to connect to flickr.com!

Is there any kind of solution for this problem?

Thanks and bye!

in the vdh_flickr_thumbnails, open= attributes are self, window, flickr and also lightbox, which is awesome.

now in the function thumbnails_link($img_url), where the lightbox option is defined, i’m trying to add captions which is done in lightbox via the title attribute in the a tag.

just beneath
$html .= '" rel="lightbox['.$set.']"';

i added

$html .= '" title="<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=' . $this->photo['id'] . '&amp;size=o" target="_blank">View Full Size</a>""';

which puts in a link to the original size image in flickr. now, can i get the image description in there as well? or is it not accessible inside this function? i thought maybe $this->photo['description'], but no.

any ideas?

ralph was planning to add this feature, not sure but I don’t think he’s had time to do anything for a while

dazonic · 2007-12-15 01:33:39

oh well. anyway, here’s an extra function i made for highslide js. pretty funky little script.

if($this->open == 'highslide') {
$html = '<a href="';
$html .= $this->getPhotoUrl($this->photo, $this->img_size);
$set = $this->set;
$set = trim($set);
$html .= '" onclick="return hs.expand(this, {captionId:\'caption'.$set.'_'.$this->photo['id'].' \'})">';
$html .= $img_url;
$html .= '</a>
<div class="highslide-caption" id="caption'.$set.'_'.$this->photo['id'].'">
<span class="caption_title">'.$this->photo['title'].'</span>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=' . $this->photo['id'] . '&size=o" target="_blank">View Full Size in <span class="caption_flickr">flick<span>r</span></span></a>
</div>';
}

highslide looks awesome! Do you have a demo page where you have Flickr images used with your script above?
