Re: glz_custom_fields
King Hack here! I cobbled together a short custom script for retrieving a list of Flickr photosets into a custom field. It works, but I want to make sure I haven’t opened some gaping security hole or otherwise done something dumb or inefficient. If someone knowledgeable gets a chance to scan this, let me know if you see something bad. Thanks!
Here ‘tis.
<?php
function list_Flickr_sets($custom_field, $custom_id, $custom_value) {
$sets = array();
$url = 'http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photosets.getList&api_key={your_key}&user_id={your_id}';
$contents=file_get_contents($url);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($contents);
$limit = count($xml->photosets->photoset)-1;
$xml_array = json_decode(json_encode($xml->photosets), true);
for($i=0;$i<=$limit;$i++) {
$sets[$xml_array['photoset'][$i]['@attributes']['id']] = $xml_array['photoset'][$i]['title'];
}
return glz_selectInput($custom_field, $custom_id, $sets, $custom_value, "0");
}EDIT: Okay, so this is not working as I intended. While the custom field “gallery” shows Flickr sets by title, <txp:custom_field name=“gallery” /> outputs the id (I think). I’ll edit this post again if I’m able to resolve this on my own and use it in a Flickr badge.
EDIT 2: Holy #%@ crap! You guys that do this for a living, my hats off. I spent all day to get the above. If you see something more efficient, I’d appreciate the advice.

Re: glz_custom_fields
Hi Gerhard
Could you give us an estimate when you going to release the new plugin version for 4.4.1
At the mo I am building an real estate site with that plugin in 4.4.0

Re: glz_custom_fields
ola
my problem now is, that i can create and edit custom_fields, but when i change it to “textarea” it simply doesnt appear on the write tab, when i change it back to textfield it appears.
using txp 4.4.1
found the issue: i disabled the excerpt field. when i renabled it, the custom_field appeard again..???
guess its been placed behind the excerpt, causing it to not appear, if excerpt is off..

Re: glz_custom_fields
I am slightly behind on this chaps, I started with a few fixes and then got carried away. I will have to curb my enthusiasm because otherwise it will be a few more weeks before I’ll wrap up the refactoring. So, plan is to have the new PATCH version out this weekend.

Re: glz_custom_fields
That bug took me exactly 2 minutes to fix. It’s the other stuff (particularly the JS parts) which dragged me into this massive refactoring (almost rewrite in certain respects).
This is the plan for the weekend
