Looks like a very interesting plugin but unfortunately I can’t get it to work :-/ I either get “No sets were found on Flickr. Did you setup your API key and NSID correctly?” in the glovebox, or a “fatal error”… There’s obviously something I’m missing… but what…? ;-P

Hello!
I would like to use your plugin, but it doesn’t work on my wordpress.
I’m just a beginner so maybe i made something wrong?
I added may api key and my nsid, then i uploaded all to plugins, acivated the plugin and in writing a post the tag appeared but showed me this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /web/stadtgefluester.de/www.stadtgefluester.de/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/flickr.php on line 35
Can you help me?

I get the same error as mentioned by benp

No sets were found on Flickr. Did you setup your API key and NSID correctly?

the tags-usage doesn’t show anything eigther.
hope there is help by the author.

dilasso

Hello,

I’ve changed something inside the plugin to detect whether libcurl is installed, and if not, use file_get_contents(). The error you are getting is because your ISP doesn’t have libcurl installed. Download the new version–it may or may not work for you the way I’ve fixed it, but if not, I’ve tried all the options PHP provides. You’ll have to talk to your ISP then…

Sorry about that–I should have made the prerequisites more clear.

I have installed this wonderful plugin but I see in the css that the images are suposed to be resized to 75×75, but mine aren’t. They are smaller than the original, but not the set size. I was also wondering if there was a way to have the title of the image show on hover?

Becca,

There is probably some CSS overriding the CSS set by the plugin, probably in your custom theme. A tool like Firebug for Firefox can show you the CSS inheritance tree, so you can see where each CSS “rule” is coming from.

As for the title, yes, you could easily modify the plugin to do that. There’s a line in the plugin’s source that sets “title=…” in the IMG tag–you’d need to change that to a member of the $image array. The PHP function var_dump() is your friend here…

flickr plugin…

I’ve installed the flickr tag plugin and am testing it.
eta: yes, well, that went well, eventually. Only took minor rewriting of the plugin to make it work. (It apparently was written for PHP5 and this server has 4.4.7.) Still, it is pretty cool…

Jaded,

Yes, I think you are right about the PHP versions. I do have 5.0. If you don’t mind doing so, please contribute your changes back to the community!

I tried out your plugin and some parts work phenomenally, others not at all!

My first test post here:
http://www.laurakishimoto.ca/blog/2007/10/06/my-arrival-in-pictures/

The tag works great and the hover captions show, but not with the style or immediacy of yours. Ideas?

Laura,

Thank you. Glad it works well for you.

It looks like the CSS/javascript from the plugin isn’t being included for some reason. Maybe you’re using an older version of WordPress? You can fix this by pasting the following in between the “head” tags in your template header:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/js/yahoo.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/js/dom.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/js/event.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/js/container.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/js/utilities.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/js/autoTooltips.js”></script>
<link href=”/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/css/autoTooltips.css” type=”text/css” rel=”stylesheet”/>
<link href=”/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/css/flickr-tag.css” type=”text/css” rel=”stylesheet”/>

I’m getting the following error when trying to use sets in wp 2.3

Warning: Wrong parameter count for array_slice() in /home/sites/adrianthompson.net/public_html/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/flickr-tag.php on line 180

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/sites/adrianthompson.net/public_html/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/flickr-tag.php on line 184

Any ideas whats wrong?

Adrian

Adrian,

I perhaps inadvertently used a feature of array_slice() that is only available in PHP >= 5.0.2. Try the new version of flickr-tag. I’ve removed the reference to that feature.

I can’t get this to work. I put the API key and API SS in the file flickr-tag-common.php, but I can’t find the place to put my NSID. When I try to go to Options>Flickr Tag, it gives the error: “Error! Our authentication token is either not set or was rejected by Flickr.” I assume this is because it doesn’t have my NSID, but I don’t know how to fix that. Help?

Clayton,

You no longer have to add your NSID to the plugin. You should see a link that allows you to authenticate with Flickr, right below that error message…

There is text that says “Flickr Authentication”, but no link. Is it a link that you could give me? Thanks for your help…

I’m running WP 2.1.2, so it seems i need to upgrade. sorry for the trouble.

I’ve got flickr-tag version 1.3.8 and WP version 2.3.1

Is there a time delay with the Flickr authentication? I clicked the link, and I Allowed access through my Flickr admin, but the plugin still says “Error! Our authentication token is either not set or was rejected by Flickr.”

Oops!

Looks like my server still uses PHP 4.4.7
Has anyone heard back from Jaded about his/her modifications?

Do I have to apply for a api key?
I have already authenticated and it is showing that I am “logged in” in my options page. But I seems that I don’t have any flickr tab in my glovebox.

Sorry, I hadn’t seen the reply to my ping before. I answered the question about what I changed on my own blog. I’m not sure if it will still help anyone, but it’s there if you need it.

To all who are having problems with the plugin:

Make sure you are using the latest version of WordPress and the plugin. The version of PHP shouldn’t matter; I’ve tried it with both 4 and 5. If you still experience problems, try to give me as much information about the error as you can: log files of PHP errors are a HUGE help here. I’ll do what I can to help, but can’t promise anything–I work on this in my free time.

Hi,

I have found a bug with the latest version of your plugin (as available on Wordpress.org). In your flickr-tag-common.php, within flickr_load_config() You set some default sizes as _s (and should be s without underscore), if the user installs you plugin and accepts the defaults given on the options admin page (without clicking save), these defaults are used and the images end up with __s.jpg on the end as you add an additional _ in your render function.

Hope that helps…

Jon

Thanks, Jon. I’ll fix that…

Flickr Tag Error: Error converting frob into token

Error state follows:

* stat: fail
* code: 108
* message: Invalid frob

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/visualvo/public_html/situation364/wp-admin/admin-header.php:16) in /home/visualvo/public_html/situation364/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/FlickrTagAdmin.php on line 189

Some positive feedback!

Love the plugin — works WONDERFULLY!

A couple of suggestions, if you’re interested:

1) Could we have the ability to grab tags within a set? (Instead of getting the whole set, just in case we need a, well, sub-set.)

2) How about the ability to exclude? A “not”. So if I want “ireland+2006-dublin”, it’ll show me all the pictures tagged with “ireland” and “2006″, but not the “dublin” ones.

Otherwise, totally awesome.

[...] flickr plugin’s called flickr-tag in case anyone was [...]

i have installed FT 2.0.0, and I’m using WP 2.3.2 and PHP 4.4.6. I can’t seem to get to the authentication process. I click on Options->Flickr Tag, and it has the big “Flickr Tag Plugin” header, and below it is “Authentication” with a thin border line underneath. Thats the whole page. I’m not getting to the “current user” section of FlickrTagAdmin.php. I’m not getting any error messages on the web page, and I’m not getting any PHP errors. Any ideas? I tried Jade’s PHP 4 workaround, but it didn’t change anything.
Thanks!

Clayton,

Make sure you have either libcurl or URL fopen wrappers available on your host. On my install, I still get a relevant error message telling me about their absence (when I tested that, anyway), but I can’t test every release of PHP, and perhaps that error isn’t appearing for you. FWIW, I use PHP 5, and I tested both the plugin and the error handling with PHP 4.4.7…

Hi there,
I wanna just say thank you for this great plugin! Works like a charm form me, and is exactly what I was looking for. One question though. I would prefer to have the pictures that shows up in the lighbox to be the Large version of my flickr-photos, and not the medium size. How do I achieve this?
Best wishes / Fredrik

Fredrik,

Thanks for your kind words.

To do that, edit FlickrTagEngine.php, and on line 243, add “_b” right before “.jpg”. So the end of the line will look like:

[stuff...] . “_b.jpg”;

Hi. I’d love to use this plugin instead of Joe Tan’s Flickr plugin. But when I try to activate your plugin, I get a fail on WordPress’ part, and the message that it could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

I deactivated all my plugins and tried again, and even as the only plugin I’m trying to activate, it triggers a fatal error.

Any ideas?

Danny,

Can you give me any PHP error logs, messages, etc.? I’ll help as much as I can…

Can’t even activate the plugin:

arse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’, expecting T_FUNCTION in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/FlickrTagEngine.php on line 274

Gary,

Which version of PHP are you using? I can’t reproduce this one with 4 or 5…

I would like to be able to change the size of the photo to something custom that would fit my layout better. Also I’d like to have the photo centred if possible. How do I accomplish these items? Also down the road if I want to wrap my blog entry around the photo is that possible?
Thanks.

kasper,

Anything you add to the flickr tag will be added to each “img” tag. So to accomplish all that you mention, you might do something like:

I haven’t tested any of that, but you get the idea…

Great! This lets newbies upload to Flickr sets, and have their own pages on the website get updated automatically. They don’t have to mess with complicated Wordpress uploading or image tags.

The only thing mildly frustrating is the delay due to caching. Is it possible (or advisable) to set the flush interval to be more often than daily? Better yet, is it possible to allow non-administrators (editors, authors, and/or contributors) to flush the cache on their own?

Thanks a lot.

Michael,

Flickr has a limit to the number of queries it allows per day. It is not advisable to set the caching period less than one day–the generation of each set of images takes quite a few queries… which would add up quickly.

Hi,

This is a great plugin. It was working fine for me for months and this evening I started getting this error…

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/FlickrTagEngine.php on line 67

Could that be caused by the flickr query limit? And would it be possible to have the plugin fail more gracefully when it happens?

Thanks,
Matt

Matt,

This may be caused by trying to display too many photos on one page, where the number of queries required to display them may be taking too long to execute. Try displaying fewer photos on a page, or increasing your cache lifetime (or both). You can also edit your php.ini file to give scripts more time to execute… see php.net’s documentation on this.

So I installed Wordpress on the same site (different directory) that I am running Joomla. The Joomla lightbox works great, but this script won’t activate the lightbox. I can pull the Flickr pics in with no prob, and when I click them, they just open up a new browser window and display as a normal browser pic would. Any idea how I could trouble shoot this?

I did get the following error when clicking to authorize Flickr, but the error no longer shows up.
Any thoughts? Thx!

Error:

I tried reauthorizing.. a couple times. I get the same error every time:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/jeff/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-header.php:16) in /home/jeff/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/FlickrTagAdmin.php on line 189

Is it just trying to update these files? If so, can you tell me what it’s trying to write, so I can just do it manually?

Thanks.

Jeff,

No, this doesn’t have anything to do with trying to update files. The plugin uses a call to header() to send a redirect to the client after successful authorization. This is the call that is failing. Check to be sure your templates don’t have any extra returns after the PHP blocks–sometimes the things that are “already sent” are just empty lines…

Figured out a workaround. I just used your script to load up all the flickr pics and then I went and installed the Lightbox 2.5 plugin (http://stimuli.ca/lightbox/). After activating that, the flickr pics all displayed perfectly! It actually adds a bit to your display as well… different themes you can use.
Thx!

Is there a way to call public photos I’ve tagged as “Favorites” in my account into the Flickr Tag plugin? What changes would I need to make to the code or syntax?

hi, got 2 questions (again -

- is there a way to “combine” lose single images in a post so they appear with the “next / perv” image? so e.g. I just add 2 images like [flickr]photo:2309148826[/flickr][flickr]photo:2309148952[/flickr] and would like them to appear as a set without relly putting them in a set on flickr?
- I remember you had a kind of hover-effect for the images’ titles on your page, but I cannot find it anymore?

thank you for your answers in advance!

michael

hm, I just hacked around the problem and inserted a lightbox set tag in every single image, since I just use the inline image option. thx anyway!

I’ve been changing the code around and trying different things but I can’t get my “Favorites” into the plugin. I think the call would be made with flickr.favorites.getList, but just replacing the photosets code with this call doesn’t work. I think it is because the photosets is also looking for an ID to accompany it. I just want to import all of my favorites, up to the limit defined in the syntax. Any help? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I am trying to get flickr-tag working but I am running into a strange problem. I get no error messages, but when I scroll down to the glove box and click the Flickr-Tag tab, the glovebox loads the Manage/Uploads page. so it is a nested page within a page.

I also cannot log out from the flickr account. It gives me a 404 page when I click log out on Options/Flickr Tag. it is trying to load the following page:

http://josephmoney.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=FlickrTagAdmin.php&flickr_tag_logout=true

I do not get any PHP errors, but I cannot find anything in the readme file that I have skipped.

I appreciate your help and hope to get this plug-in working because it appears to be a very simple elegant solution.

Cheers,

Joe$

Joe$,

It looks like you’re using Windows? I can’t say I’ve tested it on Windows… make sure your admin stuff is at /wp-admin. It looks like it may not be…

LOVE your plugin. I have it running well on smclouisville.org. However, when I tried setting it up on a blog for my son, I’m getting some issues.

1. WordPress 2.5 (just upgrated)
2. Flickr Tag 2.1.1
3. MySQL 5.0

In the WP write view, I see thumbnails of my images. I inserted an image manually and saw it for a few minutes, now get an “image not available” and white Flickr box instead. I have inserted two sets in the post, separated by a line of text. Neither gallery shows up at all. I have tried it with just one gallery.

I presently have all my Flickr pictures set to public view, but I understand the plugin pulls private pictures as well. Please correct me if I’m wrong on this count.

Thanks, in advance, for the help.

Jason

I am using a windows hosting account. Long story, but I do have all the admin files in the right place. Maybe it is a better idea to install this on a LAMP host and go from there. My client will most likely not be on a windows hosting plan anyway.

Thanks for the heads up.

Joe$

Hey Jeff,

I love this plugin! Except for one thing… Something really freaky happens when using lightbox. Everytime I close the slideshow, I see a blank page. Only my website’s background picture is there. Is this a known issue?

10 minutes later: I decided to install the lightbox 2 plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lightbox-2/) to see if that changes things. It does. However, I now have double lightbox files loading. Is there any way to prevent this?

Are you by any chance using slimbox instead of lightbox for this plugin? When I use slimbox the problem remains.

Kind regards,

Walter

In addition, my hosting service confirmed that “fopen and cURL are both supported on our shared hosting accounts by default.”

As you can tell, I’m at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really want to use the plugin for my son’s site!

Tried re-setting everything and got this error message upon activation:

Flickr Tag Error: Error converting frob into token

Error state follows:

* stat: fail
* code: 108
* message: Invalid frob

Jason,

Do me a favor and run the following against the MySQL database that hosts your son’s blog:

delete from wp_options where option_name like ‘flickr%’;

This clears out any (potentially stale) flickr tag options from the database. See if that does anything…

WordPress Plugin: Flickr Tag…

So, I wanted to put together a page containing thumbnails of all my Halo 3 screenshots from my Halo 3 tag at Flickr. I came across the Flickr Tag WordPress plugin while browsing the WordPress plugin directory.
Flickr Tag is exactly what I was looking …

This is a really nice plugin, that’s made adding images to my site a complete breeze. Thanks

I do have a question about the lightbox functionality though. At the moment the lightbox displays the medium size version of the image from flickr. Is it possible to have the lightbox display flickrs large image size instead?

If the large version of the image can be displayed, is it possible to resize the lightbox if the browser window cannot accomadate the larger image?

Simon,

See Fredrik’s question and my reply.

Thanks for that. I’d managed to read through most the comments and miss the one thing i was looking for.

Hello,
I’m having the same problem as Jason and running the MySQL syntax you gave above didn’t help. When I run it, it gives me the error “#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘%’’ at line 1″

I also get the error ”
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/otakugir/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php:26) in /home/otakugir/public_html/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/FlickrTagAdmin.php on line 163″ on the plugin’s options page

Hi can some help me with this plugin
I get this error when trying to activate it
Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_shortcode() in /home/julie1/public_html/testing/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/FlickrTagEngine.php on line 24

I installed the plugin and ran the Flickr auth. Problem is I don’t see anything on the Write page to add my Flickr photos. Where should I see it?

I’m running WP 2.5.

Hi again. Different danny than the one commenting just before me. I tried activating flickr-tag, and WP stopped me. This happened with 2.3, and now happens with 2.5, only 2.5 gives me an actual error message. It is this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_FUNCTION in /users/home/rdnovo/domains/dannynovo.com/web/public/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/FlickrTagEngine.php on line 256

Does this help any?

Danny.

The plugin don’t works for me… in the post only appear the tag (ex: [flickr]set:72157604299556210[/flickr]), no photos or nothing more…

http://img.godlike.cl/images/flickrtag.png

I’m running WP 2.5…

Any idea?

danny and fire!,

Try upgrading to the latest version of the plugin. I’ve fixed some issues with 2.5…

Danny,

Are you running PHP 4 or 5?

I have versión 2.2

Hi. I’m running PHP 5, though my host has both installed in my domain. My understanding is that 5 is the one that takes precedence.

fire!,

You’re sure the plugin is activated?

Danny,

Hmm…. maybe try deleting the files and redownloading? Maybe something got corrupt somehow? I’m at a loss here…

yes, very sure…

another data: my host is Dreamhost…

thanks fot your help!

fire!,

Hmm… my host is also DreamHost. I even redownloaded my own plugin to be sure the ZIP’d code worked–it did.

Perhaps a theme you’re using is affecting it? Can you switch to the default theme temporarily and see if that does anything? I’m at a loss here… not sure what’s going on.

admin…

I try, but nothing happen… but i download a fresh copy of plugin and reupload everything and now is working!

Really tanks for your help and for this great plugin!

Admin could you please address the problems Jason & I are having too? Thanks

Nice to see WP 2.5 support. I installed a fresh copy of the plugin and it worked fine.

The only thing i´d like to point out, is that when you insert a set, the “pop up” doesn´t close. Perhaps this is intentional.

I also got this error on the plugin settings page:

Flickr Tag Error: Error converting frob into token

Error state follows:

* stat: fail
* code: 108
* message: Invalid frob

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.aristotle/plataformo/elitechile.cl/wp-admin/menu-header.php:95) in /home/.aristotle/plataformo/elitechile.cl/wp-content/plugins/flickr-tag/FlickrTagAdmin.php on line 164

Desiree,

I don’t know what to tell you. Without seeing your environment, I can’t say what the problem is. I support this plugin for free on a best effort basis. That’s the best I can do. Did you authenticate to Flickr after you clicked the link in step 1? PC or Mac? Firefox or IE?

Good news and bad news! I re-downloaded Flickr Tag, and got the 2.5 aware 2.2.1 version. WordPress allowed me to activate it without triggering a fatal error!

Yay.

Now the bad news. I went to edit the settings as the first thing after installing. I made some changes (the settings page came up with all the radio buttons deselected, the input fields empty, and the selects on the first item). When I saved changes, I got the same invalid frob message as tricky, above. I did not get the php error, just the token error.

Without doing anything else, I tried a new post, and noted that the flickr icon for the media tab was broken (it points to dannynovo.com/wp-content… instead of dannynovo.com/wordpress/wp-content… which is where I keep my stuff. Easy fix, instead of bloginfo(’url’) use bloginfo(’wpurl’) as noted here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/bloginfo

No matter, I clicked, got the lightboxy tabbed window with all my pics in it, clicked on one, and the page behind looked like it updated, but nothing showed in the post body box. I closed out, wrote a few words in the box, made sure the cursor was in the box, clicked the flickr icon again, clicked on a photo to add it, and again, the page blinked, but nothing was added.

So I went back to the settings page, and this time all the fields were filled in (and not with what I had chosen that gave me the frob error). 50 pics, different sizes, 1 week default to the cache, etc. I made some changes, saved, and no frob error!

Tried another new post, and still, can’t seem to insert a photo into a post. Same behavior as described earlier in this (long) comment.

Anything I can do to help.

Danny,

Looks like maybe there are some hardcoded paths that shouldn’t be hardcoded. I’ll look into that one…

Danny,

Okay–try now!

It all works like a dream. Now for the wishlist! With questions, to boot!

1. I’d love to be able to choose, at image insertion time, different sizes. Sometimes a picture looks good at medium, sometimes at small. I guess I could do that by modifying the tags (as outlined in the third tab), right? (I just tried it, and yes, I can.)

2. Do the shorttags get saved to the db when the post is published, or is it a hardcoded “img src” link to Flickr? If I deactivate flickr-tag, will all the images in my posts stop showing? If so, would you consider adding hardcoded links as an option?

3. I’d love to use flickr-tag outside of a post. Is there some php I can insert that calls the routines, then I can just write in the shorttags format between them? Do you get what I’m asking for?

Thanks so much for a delightful plugin.

Danny,

1) Yes, see the syntax.
2) No, you need to keep it activated. This way it updates if you change Flickr.
3) Not easily. You could require() FlickrTag.php, and then call certain methods on the defined object–renderTag() for instance. But it’d be messy…

This is the best yet simple Flickr plugin as of yet!

I’ve made one adjustment that might be interesting to include in next versions. I wanted to be able to browse in the lightbox through all images from the current post. I did this with this addition and change of the lightbox rel line (line 230 of the FlickrTagEngine.php):

global $wp_query;
$post = $wp_query->post;
$post_title = urlencode($post->post_title);
$rel = “lightbox” . (($mode == “tag” || $mode == “set”) ? “[" . $lightbox_uid . "]” : “[" . $post_title . "]“);

Works like a charm!

Cheers, Eerko

Eerko,

Thanks for your feedback–glad it works well for you!

WOW! Thank you for this fantastic plugin. It works great, thank you especially for the lightbox functionality. It is all very simple, but so flexible. THANK YOU!

I ended up loading the actual lightbox plugin b/c the close, next, and previous buttons were not showing up without it. How can I get these to show up without having to run an additional plugin?

Again, thank you very much! Have you thought about building in functionality to use piclens as an additional viewer?

THANKS!

Emily,

Thanks for your feedback. I inadvertently left some hardcoded paths in the CSS and JavaScript, which I have now removed. That was probably why your lightbox didn’t work. Try re-downloading the plugin. (I didn’t increment the version number for this small change, however).

I haven’t, but I’ll take a look at piclens…

I noticed a small glitch on WP 2.5. When i enable lightbox use, it opens the window but doesnt display any pictures.

Looking at the image link, i noticed some weird behavior that could be causing this:

title=” <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9395396@N04/2398971002/in/set-72157604439541948/">view&nbsp;on&nbsp;flickr&raquo;</a>”

if i copy the link, but i remove that title it works fine.

tricky,

Can you send me the entire “img” tag with that behavior? I haven’t heard about this potential bug before, so that’ll help me track down anything that might exist…

[...] Visit [...]

Hi,

I’ve just upgraded to the latest version of flickr-tag and have noticed that the “close” text is now missing from the lightbox.

The actual close button still works, however the text is no longer displayed. You can see it not working so to speak here: http://www.ojko.com/2d-sketchbook/

I’ve just managed to fix the missing “Close” image, by changing line 69 of lightbox.css to:

#imageData #bottomNavClose{ width: 66px; height: 22px; float: right; padding-bottom: 0.7em; background: url(../images/closelabel.gif) right 15% no-repeat; }

I’m guessing this was the correct location to add the fix. Essentially I just added the height & background properties.

hi!

Fickr Tab is really the plugin i was looking for. really simple.

got one question: is there any param to pass to the tag on wich i can dicede the photo’s order?

thank you very much!

vladimir,

It is set by the order in Flickr–change the order in Flickr, and it will change on your page (after you empty the Flickr Tag cache).

Does anybody know any way of removing the ‘view on flikr’ link from the lightbox images, my wesite is going to be my main photography site and I’m just using Flickr as an easy and convenient web store and access point for my photos, so I’d like to keep any visitors inside my main website if possible.

Also I had the same problem as some people with the close button not displaying in lightbox mode, i used the fix suggested by Simon a couple of posts above and that works great for firefox but in IE I get that icon that normally indicates an image can’t be loaded overlaying the close button, any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

I really like this plugin but i have couple of issues and wondering if there’s an easy solution that i’m missing:

I’m using the lightbox option…

- when the lightbox window is displayed, there is no “close window” link on the lightbox popup. Not a big deal but might confuse non savvy users? Is it easy to add a “close window” button/link?

- I would like to display the largest version of the flickr image when the user clicks the thumbnail. I have read the solution above (in reply to “Fredrik”) but this doesn’t work for me. The images I want to display don’t have a “large” version only an “original” version and the plugin doesn’t seem to cater for “original” - any ideas on how to modify the plugin to achieve this?

Many thanks,

Mike.

@admin:

your suggestion didn’t work.

after some reading i ordered photos changing line 133 of flicktagengine.php, from:

'sort' => 'relevance'

to

'sort' => 'date-posted-desc'

it was strange to me that ‘relevance’ was the order, since ‘date-posted-desc’ is the default from flick’s api.

source: http://flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photos.search.html

the code i was using was:

it would be nice that on the same tag i could decide others flickr api’s options.

thanks anyway.

Hi there,
hope you can help me, I think your plug in is just what I am looking for, but I can’t quite get it running.

I think I am almost there - I can choose of my flickr images - but when I publish this post my entire WP crashes and it only displays the headline of the latest post (the one I just created).

I am currently running:
WP 2.5
Akismet 2.1.4
Flash Video Player 2.0
Flickr Tag 2.2.2
Lightbox 2 2.5.0
NextGEN Gallery 0.94
NextGEN Gallery Widget 1.22

(I tried deactivating all but the Flickr Tag and Lightbox plugins)

I think the flickr authentication stuff is fine. The pop up during the post shows all my photo.
Clicking on one some code is being put into the edit field [flickr]photo:2427727174[/flickr] - but when I hit publish - almost my entire site but the the headline of this last post disapears.
No images or text are displayed in this new post.

Any ideas? Looking forward to hearing from you…

Greetings Stephan
Thanks a lot
sorry for my poor English

ah - the default theme doesn’t work either…

Works like a charm for me in WP 2.5! Is there any way to use Shadowbox instead of Lightbox to display the pics? (i.e In effect, using rel=”shadowbox” instead of rel=”lightbox”). Please help!

Hi there,
just to let you know, I just updated to WP 2.5.1 and now it works like a charm… Amazing plugin… thanks a million

Ok - there is one more thing I am struggling with…
I can not get the Previous / Next buttons in lightbox to show up when using individual photos.

If i use a set - they show up fine.. Can someone plase help? I am not sure how to code the fix Eerko suggested… PLEASE help

Stephan

Hi, I hope you can help. The flickrtag works beautifully on my local installation. When transferred to the server it activates without complaint but its nowhere to be found.

I’m using wordpress2.5.1 with flickrtag 2.2. the server is running php5 with the curl extension enabled. Cache file writeable. No other plugins enabled.

Any ideas?
Ill cry if I cant get it to work, awesome plug-in. Many thanks

Having a hard time figuring out what I did. I updated wp to 2.5.1 then uploaded the latest flickr tag to overwrite the old one and now I get this error message in the plug-in configuration authentication page:

Flickr Tag Error: Error getting frob

Error state follows:

* type: 2048
* message: is_a(): Deprecated. Please use the instanceof operator
* file: /hsphere/local/home/josephmoney/josephmoney.com/wp-includes/script-loader.php
* line: 416

Also some single thumbnails that sat next to one another in a row are now coming in as stacked vertically. any thoughts?

Cheers

Joe,

That looks like a PHP error, not a flickr-tag error. The file referenced isn’t one for flickr-tag. Perhaps try editing your php.ini file and disabling warnings for syntax?

[...] Flickr Tag 2.2.4 by Jeff Maki [...]

We run a WP blog on our own (http://grind.tactics.com) and love using Flickr Tag on it, but recently replicated our blog on another site, that runs a customized version of Wordpress 2.3.3. The one plugin I can’t get to work, that I’d like to work, is Flickr Tag. The new version of the plugin wouldn’t work, so I had them install 2.1.1. I can access the admin interface with that version, but the posts will not display anything from the Flickr Tag code down, when it is activated. I know this is a messed up configuration, but I can’t force them to upgrade. My alternative option for all my photos is to just to a search-and-replace on the XML file from our site, and hardcode our Flickr photo links in wherever there is a Flickr Tag code. I’m about to do that, but I figured I’d check here first and see if anyone might have some tips for me to try to get this working. Potential conflicts with other plugins, any idea you may have would be great, as it would save me a little headache.
Thanks! Adam

Correction, none of the body of any post with Flickr Tag code will display.

Hey there! I upgraded from wordpress 2.5 to 2.5.1 and the plugin seemed to break a bit. Not all of the flickr post tags are parsing as images, and it’s also grabbing random images that are not my own.

Hi,

The “_b” solution (in order to have bigger pictures) works well. But it seems that the FlickR API offers nothing between the medium (”nothing”) and the large (”b”) sizes. Would be possible to have a percentage of the large size with CSS or JS ?

Thank you for this eficient plugin,
Sorry for my poor english,

Cyril.

Feedback and question:

First thanx heaps for the plugin, it’s the easiest way to show pics on a site and still host them on flickr. Awesome !

I installed the plugin and it seems that having a Lightbox plugin activated as well as the FlickrTag plugin activated at the same time was a problem, it caused my lightbox window stuff to open itself on my home page for no reason…

so i desactivated the Lightbox plugin (i have the peppe agentino one) i had and only left the FlickrTag activated. It now seems to work like a charm because the Flickrtag takes care of the rel=”lightbox” even inside my posts and pages…

So my question is: we dont need a Lightbox plugin anymore do we ? and is FlickrTag including the latest version of Lightbox ?

Regards,
TC

I get this error sometimes once my page has loaded:

Flickr Tag Error: Call to get metadata for photo ‘2573265274′ failed.

I dont know why ? Everything seems fine and i have this error with both a 15 photos set or a 100 photos set… so i guess it doesnt come from the number of little square images in my set…

Any advice ?

Thx !

First off I have been looking for a plugin just like this one for a while. All the other plugins seemed a little over the top or was missing functionality that i was looking for.

Now my question was asked before, but it dosent look like it was answered. Can the plugin be setup to pull from private photos much like the public ones?

Thanks again for a great plugin

Great plugin! Only problem, when this plugin is activated and I go to the Widgets page, the sidebar drops to the bottom half of the page. Will there there be a fix anytime soon?

I have the same problem as from tricky above.. why didnt you help out? is it because of the curl issue?
