eeFlickr : Flickr photo gallery

I’ll just chime in: If in doubt, delete the eeFlickr_cache directory

–Ok— I have the first part working, now trying to get the layout code for the individual image view page.

Thanks! Tim

Hello,

Thank you for spending your time on the eeeFlickr application.

I get an error on my site:

“Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 0 of 22 bytes in /home/hawaiip/public_html/web/modules/eeflickr/mod.eeflickr.php on line 156”

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks so much! Tim

Hi Everyone,

I have code working to list photo thumbnails.

http://www.hawaiiplantationpalace.com/index.php/bigisland/hawaii_photos/

But now I simply want to make a new template that will take you from the thumbnail view to the full picture view. I am just confused how to code up the template with the photo info and how to pull in the photo URL. Anyone have any sample code out there?

Thanks so much! Tim

I just tried using the {datetaken} in the {photos_search_loop}: this and some of the other documented variables appear not to work (they only show the tag name in the rendered template).

I think that you need to include the extras parameter: A comma-delimited list of extra information to fetch for each returned record. Currently supported fields are: license, date_upload, date_taken, owner_name, icon_server, original_format, last_update, geo, tags, machine_tags (taken from the userguide).

{exp:eeflickr:photos_search per_page="10" user_id="12345678@N00" extras="owner_name"}

Then you can use the {datetaken} or {ownername} etc. in your code:

{eeflickr:photos_search_loop}  
<img src="http://farm{farm}.static.flickr.com/{server}/{id}_{secret}_s.jpg" alt=""  />

{ownername}
{/eeflickr:photos_search_loop}

Under the photos_search tag, it’s well worth using the refresh=”1” parameter. (Where 1 = minutes). This way, any changes won’t get “stuck” in the cache.

Does anyone have code for a single image eeFlickr Display Page?

I do not understand the URL segments and how to set up the code correctly to use “URL Segments” as the EE instructions seem a bit vague…????

So I need to go from here, to a page that shows the single Flickr image in an EE Template…

Tim, use the photos_getInfo tag on the single entry page

Your link from your photos_search tag would look something like this:

<a href="http://{path=site_index}{segment_1}/detail/{segment_3}/{id}">Go to biggerer version of this photo</a>

And your display page would look something like this (note segment_4 from the link):

{exp:eeflickr:photos_getInfo photo_id="{segment_4}" refresh="1"}
<img src="http://farm{farm}.static.flickr.com/{server}/{id}_{secret}.jpg" alt=""  />
   <div class="image_details">
        <h2>{title}</h2>
        {description}
    </div>
{/exp:eeflickr:photos_getInfo}

Flickr Video Example and some updates

I just posted a small update mainly fixed some stuff in the back end also added if no_results

also in the documentation for exp:eeflickr:photos_search there are a few new extras and a new param for media which lets you pull only video or photos

i added an example of how to embed video from exp:eeflickr:photos_search

Richard Flynn about the photo sets and the Random Photos. I am making it a point to stick with pretty much what flickr’s API provides as features

the flickr.photosets.getList does not have pagination and the flickr.photos.search does not have random it only allows date-posted-asc, date-posted-desc, date-taken-asc, date-taken-desc, interestingness-desc, interestingness-asc, and relevance.

why do it that way? when flickr releases new features or output for a given API method it will automatically just work, you wont have to wait on the software to be updated

Hi Lumis -

I’m having trouble with getting authorization set up. I’ve added my API key and Secret to the modules preferences and set up an auth template with the following code:

{exp:eeflickr:auth perms="read"}

Each time I try to authorize, I’m getting an “Invalid Frob” error back, and consequently never getting my API Signature. Can you shed a little more light on how to set this Authorization successfully? For instance, when I set up my Flickr API key, what should the callback URL be? Does it matter? Am I just missing something?

Thanks, Michael

kimili do you have version 0.6.7 ? with 0.6.7 you should not have a call back URL set

Brilliant!!!

Yes, 0.67 it is. I removed the callback URL and all is well! Thanks for the speedy response and the sweet plugin.
