Hey Trent,

Flickr Manager has been working great… up until this release

I installed V1.5, and though no error message comes up (I am on PHP5) all I get in the editor is the bar “Flickr Manger” and under that two (dead) text links “Upload Photo Browse Photos” with the two radio buttons under that. No browser comes up at all.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi, I can’t activate the plugin in my WP 2.3.2, i obtain this message
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/doc/public_html/tobal/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-flickr-manager/FlickrManager.php on line 41

Is it a bug?

Thanks

Hi!
tried to install the plugin but got the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/bryggare/public_html/katjasmat/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-flickr-manager/FlickrManager.php on line 41

Is it just me or???

HEy Trent,

OK, loaded 1.5.1 and no love there.

I then checked the edit page source and did not find tha line. Found where the plugin starts: but no js call in after it, or seemingly anywhere else.

If it helps, my WP runs off a Windows server….

Thank you for your job. Now the plug-in works fine !
Cheers!

Hey Trent,

Yea, I looked in the head first, which is where I thought it would be. Nothing there, so it seems it’s not being called in.

Here’s the image:

I have a suggestion, not sure how feasible it is.

Would it be possible to insert a set into a post or page? When photos are added to the set in Flickr, it would then also add them to the post/page? What about the same concept with tags? Am I making sense?

Keep up the good work.

Hey Trent,

Thanks for that. I just installed 1.5.1 but still the same ish. Urrrg!

Hey Trent,

I tried with 1.4.5 again and it’s all back to normal!

I installed 1.5.1 and it’s functioning poorly. It takes an extremely long time for the images to load.

I would like to go back to 1.4.5. Can you send that version to me please?

thanks

Lane

Hi Trent,

yes, the link is there, but clicking on it results in a ” 404 Not Found”

Lane

The link on your page (to get to the older versions on WP)now works. However, on WP’s site, the link to 1.4.5 goes to a “Page Not Found…” page, so I still can’t access an older version

Thanks for placing a direct link on your site. I loaded 1.4.5 and the problem (very slow page load) persists. Perhaps this problem existed earlier, and I wasn’t aware of it.

My host is using version 4 PHP. Perhaps I need to look for a different flickr plugin until they upgrade to PHP 5….

Hi Trent,
You did really good job. I saw the demo and it is really impressive. I managed to install your plugin. However, I can’t get the lightbox effect working. I follow all the instructions. I put the picture to my post using the browse panel and ticked the check box “insert with lightbox”. When I click on the picture in my posting, the browser redirect me to flick. So there is no lightbox effect. I’m using your latest released plugin (1.5.1) in Worpress 2.3.3.
Thanks.

Hi Trent,
Thank you for such quick reply.I did as what you said. I edited the post, deleted the image and made sure the checkbox is ticked. After that I inserted the image. However, the same thing happened. When I click on the image, it redirected me to the flickr website. The lightbox still not working.
Thanks,
seriey

Hi Trent,

I really find your plugin very useful. I had installed version 1.4.0 it worked fine. I updated to 1.5.1. Everything looks fine but when I use the lightbox effect. When I click on the picture in my posting, the lightbox opens but without my picture in it.

I think I know what the problem is. There seems to be a conflict between the lightbox 2.5. i have installed en your plugin. But I don’t know what to do about it. If i deactivate the lightbox plugin your plugin works fine. But my previous posts which I used the lightbox for don’t work the way they should. Do you have an answer to that? Thanx.

Sorry for the late reply.
This is the link to that post.

Trent.
You are right. When there AJAX comment posting plugin was disable, your plugin works. I got the lightbox effect. However, the pictures didn’t show up except a message saying that This photo is currently unavailable.
Thanks
seriey

Trent,

It is Lightbox 2.5 plugin for Wordpress from http://stimuli.ca/lightbox/

Thanks

Trent,
Thank you very much for your help.
Everything work perfectly.
Thanks

Hi, nice Plugin, i was searching for something like that for month. But i got one (big) Problem:

some flickr-pics (large) are ending with _b and some with _o. as i can see, flickr manager is using the _b-pics. I thought that the _o (original-)pics just were for pro-users. but all Pictures i am uploading are with _o . is there a solution to use both _o and _b oder have i to edit the script to fist just with _o

greetings
Felix

Hey Trent,

I have noticed in the latest version that a class is only added to the the Flickr image if Lightbox is used. In previous versions, I am sure that a class was added to the image regardless if Lightbox was used or not, which was very handy.

Also, are you still looking at incorporating my sets/tags suggestion into the next version?

This plugin is really great – wonderful work.

I have a question – is there any way to get the descriptions to show up from flickr in the Lightbox view?

There is a use for your plugin which is probably not what you expected: to have wordpress synchronize with Flickr. So images would be simultaneously uploaded to the Wordpress server *and* the Flickr website, with tags and description posted to both as well.
What do you think?

Hi Trent, thanks for the reply. I knew it would seem like a weird request. I just want to keep hosting my images on my own site, not having to rely on external servers to serve my content, but I also wanted to start up a Flickr profile. So instead of updating both seperately, I thought I could centralize it in Wordpress. I could look into simply having everything hosted on Flickr, but I hope they don’t go down often.
As for your MySQL database, by syncronized, you do mean from both directions, right?

Hi Trent. It’s quite an impressive looking plugin you’ve created. Unfortunately I’m having a hell of a time getting it to work. I have my WP hosted on GoDaddy and from what I’ve been able to find out they use proxies for any cURL commands. I’m pretty sure this is stopping the plugin from working. I am able to authenticate via Options–>Flickr but then if I try to use it, I just get asked to authenticate again.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the speedy reply Trent.
That looks like the solution,but I can’t find that menu anywhere. I’ve only set up all of this in the last couple of days and I’m no code-monkey, any idea where I would find those settings?

I think I’ve got it sussed. Had to add a couple of lines to FlickrCore.php. Here’s the relevant sections in case anyone else needs them.

…
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_PROXY,”http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128″);
$response = curl_exec($session);
…

…
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY,”http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128″);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 20);
…

hey Trent,

just checking out your plugin but had trouble installing it;
windows/wordpress 2.3.3/flickrmanager v1.5.2

to get the install callback function to work when the plugin is activated I edited the file FlickrManager.php constructor function, removing the add_action(”activate…”) lines and replacing with the following (found on the wordpress plugin dev site);

register_activation_hook( __FILE__, array(&$this, ‘install’) );

without this change, the install function was not getting called when the plugin is activated… therefore no database table is created, etc.

cheers,

// greg

hey again,

reading these comments again, it appears I’m having similar troubles to others now that the plugin is activated. The js isn’t being injected into the pages, so the edit post page doesn’t work for me either. I’ll try the manual method of putting the js in, but I’m assuming that something is busted in the plugin, possibly just for windows, but maybe not…

cheers,

// greg

and (a final) hey again

it might only be a windows problem, with this line in the constructor looking like it could be the cause of the trouble;

$filename = explode(”/”, __FILE__);

obviously, windows paths use ‘\’ so I’m seeing bad paths to the flickrmanager plugin directory all over the place.

cheers,

// greg

just a note, the plugin wouldn’t start till I named flickercore.php to FlickerCore.php. I guess you’re on a windows server
