UPD: Flickr Image Gallery Module Released (version 1.3.)

[kweitzel]

If you have a look at the source code of the rendered page, you can see the complete URL.

Example:

Code:

</div><div class="flickr_set">
  <div class="flickr_set_image">
    <a href="/cms/pages/bilder.php?setid=72157594321624760">
      <img alt="2005-12-05 - Biketour Wildspitz" src="http://photos94.flickr.com/266091474_4f219cd9f8_s.jpg">
    </a>
  </div>
  <div class="flickr_set_text">

    <h2>2005-12-05 - Biketour Wildspitz (81 photos)</h2>
    <p></p>
  </div>

If you call the URL directly you'll get the error "Server not found" ... I don't know, how the module works, but it does redirects. The missing pictures are not "redirected" because of the "Server not found error". Why you get this error, I don't know.

cheers

OK,

after a few hours of work i'm proud to release Flickr Image Gallery RC1.

Changelog:
- Fixed: Error when try rebuilding the cache in WB 2.6.4
- Fixed: Replaced all variables wich are taken from the info.php with hardcoded directory names
- Fixed: Install script now supports MySql5 strict mode
- Added: Language Support and german language File
- Added: More Language variable fields to modify, rebuildcache and view.php
- Changed: Minor layout tweaks in Modify Window
- Changed: All Copyright notices

HowToUpdate:
Only overwrite all files or install the newer version over the older one. As there are a lot of file changes on this way there remains a few old not longer needed files in the modules folder. To have a clean installation, uninstall the old version and install the new one.

Please test it and if there are no issues we release it as version 1.4.

Have fun

Matthias

Hi guys!

Thank you a lot for your effort. Unfortunately, the problem stays the same.
I uninstalled the module and reinstalled it. Afterwards i updated the cache - but the problem still exists.

Here the module details for a prove:
Details zum Modul
Name: Flickr Gallery Module
Art: Seite
Autor: Woudloper, Matthias Gallas
Version: 1.4RC1
Entworfen für: WebsiteBaker 2.6.x
Beschreibung: This module is more or less a view to you Flickr photoalbum.

Please check my site again, to see that the pictures are still missing - and still in the same sets. Is there something wrong with flickr? I also tried to change the set picture of one of those sets - still no change. Is probably the set corrupted?

Regards and thank you again!
Patrick

[bikerider]

Just one thing more: I remarked that those are the sets I uploaded with the Flickr Uploadr... Hm... Is there a problem with this tool? I will try i again...

Cheers,
Patrick

@bikerider

sorry to say, but didn't fix your special problem. As it only occurs on some specified gallerys it seems to be a flickr problem. You say all gallerys where you used the upload tool from Flickr didn't work with the WB Flickr Modul. So this seems to be the problem. Don't know what is different on this sets.

Matthias

[bikerider]

I guess I can give you a hint tomorrow. I will try again tonight.

The rest is working fine, thank you!!

[bikerider]

Hi again,
I had an idea: All pictures, which are not showing up, are pictures taken with a 8 Mpix Cam. All others, which show up are smaller ones.
Well, I tested this and it seems to be true: I put an smaller photo into a set and put it as a the set pix - and it's working fine. So I guess there has to be some kind of a file size limit....??

Patrick

[kweitzel]

so ... why don't you try to resize them to test it. I don't know, if it has anything to do with it, but in PHP you can set a max-filesize for upload.

Though, thinking about it, it should not be the issue ... anyway, check this route out as well.

cheers

Klaus

[bikerider]

Sorry, I guess I'm wrong. I change the picture size an uploaded it again -> it's not showing up. Also I uploaded it via the webpage. So it also can't be a problem with the flickr uploading tool. 
 
Hm, I have no further idea. Anyone else who has the same problems??

Patrick

[kweitzel]

chekc the picture size against the upload limit defined in PHP ...

cheers

Klaus

[bikerider]

I think, this can't be the problem. Reason:
- Go to this site: http://www.dihr.ch/cms/pages/bilder.php
- Then klick on one of the missing picutes which will lead you to the detail page.

Within this detail page you can see all pictures including the one which is missing on the overview page. And it is exactly the same picture which is shown. Or is there a different maximum size in those different pages? I don't think so.

Thank you anyway,
Patrick

[kweitzel]

und trotzdem hat er noch dasselbe problem, er findet den Server nicht, auf dem das Bild liegt. Es handelt sich je um Server mit einer Höheren Nummer.

And still the same issue. It doesn't find the server. All the pics not shown are on servers with a high number ... it might be the module (if it has this kind of limitation).

Are the pictures now the same size like the ones successfully displayed?

cheers

Klaus

[bikerider]

Damit auch ich das verstehe, hier mal auf deutsch - Sorry, ich bin glaub' ich schwer von Begriff.

Ich habe also die Set-Übersicht aus dem Flickr. Hier werden nur einige Bilder angezeigt. Welche, das ist noch unklar, wahrscheinlich aber alle, welche eine gewisse Grösse nicht überschreiten...? (Nicht ganz korrekt, siehe unten)

Weshalb nun werden dieselben Bilder, welche in der Übersicht nicht angezeigt werden, in der Set-Ansicht angezeigt? Und weshalb werden die Bilder - auch wenn ich sie verkleinere und neu uploade - nicht angezeigt?

Fehlen irgendwelche Metadaten? Ich stehe vor einem Rätsel.

Zudem: Ich habe Deinen Input ehrlich gesagt nicht ganz verstanden. Wo stelle ich die max. Grösse im PHP ein? Ist das serverseitig? Dann kann ich leider nicht viel ändern. Ist's im Bakery-Modul? Das wäre schon vielversprechender, aber da habe ich nichts gefunden...

Any ideas?

Auf jeden Fall schon mal vielen Dank für die bis jetzt geleistete (super!) Hilfe. Ich habe Opensourcebakery schon mehrfach weiterempfohlen - Ich finde das CMS super! Endlich eines, welches ich auch einem Publisher in die Hand drücken kann, ohne dass ich ihn noch tagelang schulen muss...

Hallo Patrick,

leider stehe ich auch vor einem Rätsel. Habe mir den produzierten sourcecode auf deiner Seite angeschaut und da passt alles. Die Links zu Flickr sind bei allen Bildern gleich, bei denen die angezeigt werden und bei denen, die aus irgendwelchen Gründen nicht angezeigt werden. Folgende Vermutungen die ich hatte können denke ich auch ausgeschlossen werden:

Bildgröße: Wie du richtig schreibst dürften sie ja dann nirgends zu sehen sein, wenn man das Set aber auswählt sind die angeblich zu großen Bilder ja zu sehen.

Umlaute in Setnamen: Es gab zwar mal Probleme mit dem Modul und Umlauten, auf deiner Seite werden aber Sets angezeigt die Umlaute enthalten.

Hohe Set id Ziffern: Was Klaus gemeint hat, dass nur die Sets mit hohen ids nicht angezeigt werden kann ich auch nicht nachvollziehen, laut sourcecode haben auch angezeigte Sets diesselben hohen ID Nummern.

Letztendlich auch für mich ein Rätsel, warum die einen angezeigt werden, die anderen nicht.

And here a short english summary
We don't know why some preview picture sets are not displayed in the set overwiew but displayed when you choose this set.

Matthias

[kweitzel]

Also, Ihr habt mich da ganz missverstanden ... ich meine nirgendwo die Set ID Nummern, sondern die Server.

Schut Euch den gerenderten Code doch mal an. Die angezeigten Dateien werden vom einem Server mit kleiner Nummer geliefert, die, die nicht angezeigt werden, kommen von einem Server mit hoher Nummer. Versucht Ihr die Bilder direkt zu bekommen, heisst es "Server nicht erreichbar".

Wenn es an PHP und der Uploadgröße liegen sollte, kann das in der php(.)ini eingestellt werden.

Gruß

Klaus

[ruebenwurzel]

Hallo Klaus,

aaah jetzt weiß ich was du meinst. Alle Server, die eine 3 stellige Ziffer haben werden nicht angezeigt. Das könnte der richtige Ansatzpunkt sein. Schau mir mal den Code an, vielleicht find ich was.

Hi,
Does this updated module use the new flickr php class?

http://www.phpflickr.com/

With the old version I can't view photos that are not in a set and only get the thumbs for one of my three sets.

STu...

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello Stu,

no this updated version only includes updates wich are relevant for websitebaker. The flickr class is untouched. I tried to add the new class, but after that the modul didn't work anymore, so i go back to the class from the old modul. As i didn't make the integration i don't know (and i hadn't the time to search) wich adaptions are necessary for the modul to get it working with the latest flickrclass.

Matthias

I have installed this module to use with my Flickr account.  I receive the following error:

Notice: Undefined variable: cachetime in E:\www\prod\WB_1995potter\modules\flickrgallery\view.php on line 99

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in E:\www\prod\WB_1995potter\modules\flickrgallery\view.php on line 149

Warning: The photosetname provided does not exist for this username. Please correct the groupname.

i have attached a screen shot of my Flickr "set" setup.  It's a .pdf.  Please change the extension from .zip to .pdf to open it.

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

did you read the entries in the thread here? The modul uses an older version of the flickr class wicvh seems to have problems with some newer photosets. Unfortunately the developper of this modul seems to habe nomore time for to update this modul. I hope someone other of the php gurus could do this.

As far as i can see the way of uploading the pictures and the servernumber where the pictures in flickr are stored causes problems with the old class.

Matthias

[TechnoFrood]

I think I have managed to get the module working with the new class, it was just a case of adding a line to both view.php and rebuildcache.php, Following Neil's suggestion I have also altered the Set thumbnail line in view.php so that it should work with the new flickr server naming system.

New version with version 2 of phpFlickr class:
http://www.gethyper.co.uk/dl/flickrgallery_v1.4RC1FIX.zip

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

thanks for this addition. Tested it and the new flickr class seems to work without problems. So i updated the modul at the addons repository with the 1.4RC2 (wich is the same as your RC1FIX)

Matthias

[spawnferkel]

Hmm,
I've installed the RC2 but the flickr modul is still doesn't working?
It's the same problem, that appear in RC1.
What lines does RC1 seperate from RC2?

Has somebody else also had the problem yet?


Greetings from Germany

Alexander

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

RC1 and RC2 are from the functionality exact the same, only minor code cleaning is the different.

What is your problem exact?

Matthias

[spawnferkel]

Hi,
please have a look at http://www.malteser-hagen-atw.de/preview/pages/service/galerie.php, there you can see the error. It is exactly the same message that other people had describt in this post. And although I managed a photoset, the flickr-module coudn't read it out, it couldn't read out any photoset.

Have you any idea?

Alexander

UPDATE:
But now I've find out that I can type anything what I want in the box "api-key" and "flickr username" and it's always the same errormessage? Is that alright?
But I'm really sure that I've type evrything alright.

UPDATE2:
Ahh I must fill in my screenname not my accountname. Ok the problem is solved.

Alexander
