eeFlickr : Flickr photo gallery

just installed eeflickr, can’t get it to return anything. all calls come back empty, including several i found in this thread as examples of working code.

so i modified mod.eeflickr.php, adding the following code to line 167 before the return:

echo “

";
var_dump ($this->fdata);
echo "

”; return “FAIL ON LINE 167”;

when run, it shows that $this->fdata is bool(false). meaning i suppose that flickr is returning false, rather than any error code?

anyway ive got curl on my server, and a valid flickr api key, and ee (v1.6.8) is otherwise fine, so i can’t imagine it’s a problem with my install.

my code is below; it’s just a simple version of the sample code provided with the module:

{exp:eeflickr:photos_search  user_id="7948216@N05" page="page1" per_page="4" }
    {eeflickr:photos_search_loop}
        {id}
        {owner}
        {secret}
        {server}
        {farm}
        {title}
        {originalsecret}
        {originalformat}
        {count}
{if no_results}
No results
{/if}
    {/eeflickr:photos_search_loop}
{/exp:eeflickr:photos_search}

have also tried exp:eeflickr:favorites_getList, same problem (returns nothing other than my debugging output confirming fdata is FALSE).

any suggestions?

I’m trying to pull the title from flickr, but the title tag being the same as the title tag for the post seems to be creating a problem and pulling the post title instead of the photo title. At least as near as I can tell. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

i’m having the same issue right now. will post if i get a work-around. 😉

I’ve discovered that using the {title_amp} tag instead of the {title} tag gets you the actual flickr photo title.

Is it possible to use this module to search flickr for creative commons images and only to display those?

Is it possible to use this module to search flickr for creative commons images and only to display those?

No. It’s tied to whatever Flickr ID you enter, so it should only be used for displaying your own photos.

I too am trying to just get eeFlickr to return something–but all I get is blank data, even when using just copy-and-pasted sample code. Running the latest version of EE (1.6.8?) on EngineHosting. Any ideas?

Still banging my head against the wall trying to get eeFlickr to return some data for me. Here’s my code:

{exp:eeflickr:photosets_getList refresh="1" user_id="22068811@N00"} ID: {id} Primary: {primary} Secret: {secret} Server: {server} Farm: {farm} Photos: {photos} Title: {title} Description: {description} Description_alt: {description_alt} Description_clean: {description_clean} Description_br: {description_br} {/exp:eeflickr:photosets_getList}

I’ve tried different userID from other accounts (the one above is mine) and I’ve tried using other sample code from the eeFlickr docs…still no go. Any great ideas?

Look super carefully at your quotation marks. They have to be straight, not curly. Change them to regular plain-text straight quote marks, and I suspect you’ll get the results you want!

Any chance that this will be updated for EE 2.0? Or does anyone know of an alternative?

Has anyone gotten eeFlickr to work on EE 2.0?

I can’t seem to install it, keep getting the error:

An Error Was Encountered Unable to locate the files needed to install this module

The Module when listed also has a problem, shows up with eeflickr_module_name, eeflickr_module_description instead of appropriate values in either columns.

It hasn’t been updated to work with 2.0. I read through the documentation for updating modules, and it seems like it wouldn’t be terribly difficult to update. I’m not familiar enough with php to do it myself though. Hopefully Lumis or someone else will update it as more people move to 2.0.

Just subscribed to this thread. I would be interested to use it for EE 2.0 as well. Where did David Rench go?
