Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
HELPFUL TIP: THE EASIEST WAY TO DETERMINE YOUR FLICKR NSID
In your http://www.rvdh.net/vdh_flickr/Documentation/?c=Plug+n+Play+Mode documentation, it is stated:
“Create a new article with only the following text in it:
< txp:vdh_flickr nsid=“12345678@N00” />
Of course you have to replace the nsid value by your own data from flickr.com”
I had a really hard time trying to determine my Flickr nsid, but here is the EASIEST WAY:
To get your NSID from Flickr, go to your photos page, view source, find global_nsid, and note the value. That’s it
Updating the documentation would probably help a lot of frustrated people!
Cheers on a great job!

…and the documentation says this:
“If you have difficulties finding out your nsid, you can use this code to determine it:
<code><txp:vdh_flickr_show_nsid email=“test@test.de” /></code>”
This tag will print your nsid on your webpage. Then you can copy and paste it into <code><txp:vdh_flickr nsid=“12345678@N00” /></code>

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Just wanted to say a huge huge thank you to the author of this plugin – it is absolutely brilliant! Your time and effort is very much appreciated.
I look forward to it evolving futher, especially the accessing of private photos.
Many Thanks

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Quick question. I am trying to create something relatively similar to the “demo 3” whereby I have a page of thumbnails for a set with a text list of all sets in the sidebar of my site so the user can quickly jump to another set without having to go back to the list of sets.
So I have the following…
*** in main part of page ***
txp:vdh_flickr set_form=“photo_set_preview” thumbnails_form=“photo_thumbnails” img_form=“photo_image” set_preview_size=‘s’ thumbnail_size=‘s’ img_size=‘n’
*** in sidebar of page ***
txp:vdh_flickr set_form=“photo_set_list” thumbnails_form=“photo_thumbnails” img_form=“photo_image” set_preview_size=‘s’ thumbnail_size=‘s’ img_size=‘n’ /
The problem is that the output in the sidebar is a duplicate of that in the main part of the page – i.e. it does not use the specified different set_form.
Any ideas on a solution?
PS I am running the latest version of vdh_flickr on RC3.
Best Regards
Martin

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
If I get you right, the main part of your gallery works fine, and the problem is the sidebar which should always show a set list.
That’s easy. Simply put this into your sidebar:
<txp:vdh_flickr_set_list nsid="12345678N00” />@
You can even use wraptag and break to make a correct list. I know this should be in the documentation somewhere, but I’m just too busy. I will pick up work on this by mid-August, as you can see on the vdh_flickr page.
If I got you wrong, simply ask again. I didn’t sleep much in the last days, plus my main form of nutrition is coffee.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
I chose this plugin because I didn’t wanna hack my textpattern and it seems great (plus I like Flickr too!)
I am having a slight problem getting my images to generate.
I checked my server using phpinfo() and this is what I have…
PHP Version 4.3.11 (Guessin this is ok)
domxml
DOM/XML enabled
DOM/XML API Version 20020815
libxml Version 20609
HTML Support enabled
XPath Support enabled
XPointer Support enabled
I should be ok right? I think I have done something dumb along the way…I have tried things out here… www.carltondickson.co.uk/dev/photos/
In my article page I used…
and used no title for the article, any ideas where I have gone wrong?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Would it make any difference if I have just set up my account because my photos won’t appear to the public until my account has been approved apparently

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
First find out your nsid by using this tag (with your email adress):
<txp:vdh_flickr_show_nsid email="testtest.de” />@
The nsid should appear where you placed that tag. If that does indeed happen, your photos must be organized in SETS. Make sure this is the case, and report back if you have any further problems.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
My bad, documentation on your website does say things have to be organised into sets…works fine although I think I will have to play about with the stylesheet to get things lookin nang.
Thanks for a great plugin, and the help of course ;-)
I’ll add a link to your plugin in my signature to spread the word

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
OK, I’ve got php 5 and SimpleXML enabled on my server, found out my nsid, but I get the “Failed to connect to flickr.com!” message output from the tag. No one else seems to have come up against this though. Any ideas where I’m going wrong?
Cheers,
