On your own risk you can of course use the workaround and publish the RSS feed for public tags.

Then I have to forget vdh_flickr to do it… Thanks, merz1

This is a very elegant plugin and it has worked a treat to the limited extent I have used it so far.

But now I’m trying to figure out the most elegant way to use this for a group of photographers who upload pictures around a given theme into a dedicated flickr pool. For the front page of the site, I’d like to be able to draw a random image from the pool. On reload a different image from the pool would appear. It seems though that the plugin is really organized around the nsid. merz’s answer makes me think that, for legal reasons, the plugin is intentionally limited to individual user ids. But boy would it be helpful if we could all just upload our images to the pool and then have the plugin draw images from that. Very clunky and labor-intensive in this context to organize it around individual users.

Possible to show the latest say 21 images from a set when using the vdh_flickr_thumbnails tag?

something like <txp:vdh_flickr_thumbnails set="123456789" latest="21" ...

jstubbs · 2008-11-20 20:47:09

I second Nardo’s question – is it possible to add this simple feature to this incredible plugin? :-)

jstubbs · 2008-11-21 20:37:03

To add to my post above, I am looking for help with the txp:vdh_flickr_thumbnails tag. What I would like to do is have something like this:

<txp:vdh_flickr_thumbnails limit="20"  />

The tag currently does not have the capacity to limit the number of thumbnails. A second thing I need is to have a page 2 feature for any images after the first 20, in case there are more than 20 images.

If the user clicks on next page, then the next 20 thumbnails from the Flickr set are displayed.

Can anyone help with this?

Hi, everyone.

I am new to Textpattern and to fdh_flickr

Brilliant idea, though. I am determined to make it work.

Right now, when I follow the “Quickstart” steps, I get:

Tag error: <txp:vdh_flickr mode=“none” except=“72157609861417252” /> -> Textpattern Warning: tag does not exist on line 1104

any help would be much appreciated

Is the plugin activated in the plugins list ? (not just installed)

Generally the “tag does not exist” alert means either there is a typo error in the tag or the plugin defining that tag insn’t installed and activated.

Eligraphy · 2009-01-09 18:46:16

that was it. the plugin wasn’t activated.

alas, now that it’s activated, i’m getting
“failed to connect to flickr.com”

:/

Niconemo · 2009-01-10 06:17:15

<txp:vdh_flickr mode="none" except="72157609861417252" />

The “nsid” attribute is missig. It’s the mandatory attribute to tell the plugin where is your flickr account.

Eligraphy · 2009-01-11 13:02:54

I had the nsid attribute defined globally directly in the plugin.
But I tried it again with nsid in the tag, and still got the same error…

You may need to edit your php configuration file to: allow_url_fopen = On.

Eligraphy · 2009-01-11 16:24:29

I added this allow_url_fopen = On to my php.ini file which is located in the root folder (where index.php is located), is this not the correct thing to do?

Tried varients: allow_url_fopen On , allow_url_fopen = On On , allow_url_fopen = True…. etc.

no change.
looks like I need to be the admin to make changes like that?
so if my host doesn’t have allow_url_fopen, I can’t use the vdh_flickr?

jstubbs · 2009-01-11 16:32:21

Do you mean the .htaccess file? php.ini is never in the root folder…

Yes, my understanding is that allow_url_open = On is required for vdh_flickr.

Eligraphy · 2009-01-11 21:04:29

thanks for your continuous responses, jstubbs.

as a non-admin user, i didn’t really have anywhere else to put php.ini

.htaccess i created as per Diagnostics recommendation. that seems fine.

looks like i won’t be able to use vdh_flickr
bummer…

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I’m having a slight issue with this plugin. Currently if I try to pull photos from a user of flickr (such as myself) things seem to work alright, but I can’t seem to pull photos from a group using the id. Have any of you run into this issue before? And if so, what did you do about it.

Thanks!
