Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
I get an error with the random attribute…
My tag looks like this:
<code><txp:vdh_flickr_thumbnails nsid=“12345678@N00” random=“3” /></code>
…and the error I get is this:
Fatal error: Call to a member function isValid() on a non-object in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\millstone\textpattern\lib\txplib_misc.php(429) : eval()’d code on line 550

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
You have to specify where to take the random pictures from, like a tag, a set number or latest pics.
Example here:

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
The “tags” part looks great. Unfortunately, I am getting an error that I got before- “Failed to connect to Flickr.com”
What’s wrong?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
EDIT: I just released 0.8.2.
Your problem most probably occurs because of php4 not being able to get the flickr xml file. In 0.8.1 I implemented only one method of getting the xml file (domxml_open_file) which does not seem to work on every host.
In 0.8.2 I’ve implemented three methods of receiving the xml file (curl, file_get_contents and domxml_open_file), and vdh_flickr automagically checks which one is available.
php5 still only uses simplexml_load_file. Anyone having problems with vdh_flickr and php?
So please try the new version and report back if it works for you. It could help me improve the plugin.

I did and… HEEEELP !
This message appeared on the top of every pages as soon as I updated to 0.8.2 (on a standard 4.0.1 r888 txp)
I had do disable the plugin (and the galeries, then) to get rid of it.

Some informations :
The site is in Live mode
Excepting this huge load of PHP warnings, the galery seems to work normally when the plugin is turned on…
and…
PHP version: 5.0.3
Register globals: 1
Magic quotes: 1/0
MySQL: 4.0.21-standard
Locale: en_GB.UTF-8

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Larf, is it possible to have a 0.7 version again before you can fix the issue ? Thank you by advance ;)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
OK, the old versions are online now.
But I’d like to get your issue resolved in the current version, so I will contact you soon, if you don’t mind.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
@ Niconemo:
I’ve just put 0.8.3 online, which adresses your problem. I hope this one will last longer.
Anyway, the next days are the last chance to utter feature requests. Soon university will take the most of the time of my daily work. Version 0.9 will most probably have pagination for set preview, because of the growing number of sets I have. Anything else that’s cool?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Everything’s fine with 0.8.3 :)
Once the documentation read from top to bottom… no more particular request for the moment. ;)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
First off, this is a great plugin and I have got it set up and working. Really sorry if this is easy but I just can’t seem to get my head around it.
Can somebody tell me if it’s possible to have the preview page output in the following way…
PREVIEW PAGE:
<code><dl>
<dt>Image and Title</dt>
<dd>Description</dd>
<dl></code>
TXP Possibly something like this…
PAGE =
<code><txp:vdh_flickr_set form=“flickr_preview wraptag=“dl” /></code>
FORM =
<code><dt><txp:vdh_flickr_set_link><txp:vdh_flickr_set_title /></txp:vdh_flickr_set_link></dt>
<dd><txp:vdh_flickr_set_description /></dd></code>
Cheers

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
If I got your right, try this:
In the article or page template:
<txp:vdh_flickr nsid="123456N00” set_form=“flickr_preview” />@
And then create the form “flickr_preview” exactly as you described above.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] vdh_flickr
Thanks for your time Larf.
I used the tag as you suggested and added wraptag=“dl” but the dl didn’t show up in the code suggesting that wraptag doesn’t work here. I put a dl tag into the page (around the txp:vdh_flickr tag) but that just made it show up on the thumbnails and image pages too. Of course if I put the dl into the form it will just become part of the loop. I just need to get the wraptag to work without effecting the subsequent pages.
Earlier on I tried the vdh_flickr_if_preview tag but this produced no results (or maybe I used it wrongly), but could this be an option?
Again… thanks for you help!
