Chris,

I did that.
I inserted the code just above in the template-html. That is correct,right?
Or should it be somewhere else

I’m unable to make thr plugin works. Install mambot/plugin “bot_flickr4j_lib”. Give the right username-APkey-Cache like official website says. It test it using “bot_flickr4j_photo” in right way but it doesn’t show any image and not says any error but:

Hi!

I have a problem, and hope that you could help me.

Where must I add the code lines? I don’t know the file that I must modify. Could you tell me the filename, please?

Thanks.

Hi… again!

I just add the lines on my template index.php file, but I don’t know how to use the bot, because when i go to the configuration menu (components/flickr4j menu) i just see the name of the bot, and nothing else.

However, if i put the code {flickr4j_photo id=’xxx’ size=’0|1|2|3′} the photos appear on my site, but don’t enlarge when i clic on them. I use Firefox, and the only change when i clic mi photos is a grey color on my background, and apparently, the photo enlarged behind my site. When i use IExplore i just clic and a new page with my photo appear.

How can i solve that? Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Left by Xtian! on October 10th, 2007

Chris,

I think that is because I used the head-tag in one of the mails to explain my problem.
I posted three messages but they all were missing the tag.

My apologies.

Xtian,
If you go to the template-manager, you can access the html-file from there. You can also access the css-file from there.
Good luck!

Your tutorial was so helpful and the installation was an apparent success. I am having one issue–the next and previous labels are not showing up when viewing the photos in the lightbox. You can click where the label should be, and the next or previous photo comes up.

The nextlabel.gif and prevlabel.gif are in this directory: mambots/flickr4j/lightbox/images

Does anything come to mind?

Hi Chris,

First of all thanks for the tutorial! I have the same problem as Nicolas. Problems with the sets on line 43 and 49 in the flickr4j.html.php file.

It has to do with this code:

Can you help me with that, I did install the library bot first.

Thank you in advance,

Hello,

After installation the configuration screen for the component is empty. I expected some fields here, correct?
Also the tags to show either a set or a photo do not work. Rhew username is correct (it showed an error before when the name was not correct).

Left by Pedro on January 3rd, 2008

I GIVE UP!
All elements installed in prescribed way. Stil many issues.

Cloud works fine, Pics fine - i.e. clicking on the thumb photos brings the lightbox presentation of the image - but no Prev - Next functionality.

All other elements i.e. _set and _photo display the thumbs but hang browsers (IE7 an FF) in attemept to display lightbox.

Sadly I must stop trying - poor documentation and visible lack of support by developer drives me to the competition. Pity as it looked like a promising Extension

Left by Voytec on January 5th, 2008

I downloaded the bots, component and modules. I installed the bots first,
published the lib first then the others, then installed and published the components and modules.

I generated and input the API key into the relevant areas in the
flickr4j_lib bot and into the modules. There were no options available for the component.

I then went to my website and I see that the pics module is displaying
only a row of small rectangles. When I click one of them a small white
square pops up in the centre of the screen with a spinning pinwheel.
I have to refresh the page to get rid of this.

The cloud module displays this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/thenewbr
/public_html/modules/mod_flickr4j_cloud.php on line 107
Warning: Wrong parameter count for max() in /home/thenewbr/
public_html/modules/mod_flickr4j_cloud.php on line 115
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/thenewbr/
public_html/modules/mod_flickr4j_cloud.php on line 154

I have 2 groups and 3 sets set to be open to the public on Flickr.

What did I do wrong and how can I fix this? I am working on very limited time
and will have to uninstall this and use something else if I can’t get it to work ASAP.

ADDITIONAL:

I did also add the following lines of code to my template head code, just before the tag:

/mambots/flickr4j/lightbox/js/lightbox.js”>

Ilya:

Don’t write set name but set ID: it’s the number
from the link to the specific set on your photos page ex:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/xxxxxxxx@xxx/
sets/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/

The big X’s is the ID of the set.

Left by Marek on January 24th, 2008

To get the set ID:
1. Go to Flickr and click on your set
2. Look at the address in the URL.
The string of numbers at the end after “/sets/” is the set number. e.g.

http://www.flickr.com/photos
/11011376@N05/sets/1234567890/
The 1234567890 is the set id.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the clear information in the tutorial.

But I have still problems. I have followed the instructions, installed it for several times ,but still no photo’s to see on the website. I get no errormessage, so I think it’s the connection to Flickr.

The component is installed, but I see only the title of the component, no links or menu.

I tried all suggestions posted in the blog, but still no result. Probably a small problem i overlooked.
Any Suggestions ?

Left by Chris Lane on February 21st, 2008

I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION! SEE:
http://altendorf.enemy.org/en/newsflashes/newsflash
/flickr4j—fixes-and-modifications.html

You need to upgrade your installation of phpFlickr
in Flickr4J to the latest version.

Uninstall the component part of the flickr4j, and replace the
phpflickr folder in the installation foler with the newer version.
Then before you reinstall, edit the flickr4j.php file in
the component and change line 69-70 as follows:
It should be this to begin with:

// get the nsid of the specified username
$nsid = $f->people_findByUsername($username);

Paste over it with this:
// get the nsid of the specified username
//$nsid = $f->people_findByUsername($username);
$nsidarray = $f->people_findByUsername($username);
$nsid = $nsidarray[’id’];

AND IT WORKS!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!

I’m having the same problem as Hillary and Jellocat… Everything works fine except lightbox. The white box pops up, but the background doesn’t dim, nor does anything show up… Then the page has to be refreshed to make the white box go away.

Any idea as to why lightbox isn’t working properly?

(Yes, I did add the code provided to the template above the closing head tag.)

Left by Ana on March 20th, 2008

Ok, so, in response to my own last comment, somehow I managed to stumble upon a fix to my problem at least (I think).

I replaced the effects.js and scriptaculous.js files that came with the flickr4j bot with the ones from the lightbox download (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2) and suddenly things started working.

Left by Ana on March 20th, 2008

Hi Chris, I tried your solutions but had no luck. Altendorf.enemy.org appears to be down right now,
but I worked through your instructions. I downloaded the latest version of PHPflickr from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=139987

I then extracted the flickr4j_lib bot and replaced the phpflickr files in the archive and rezipped them.
I then edited flickr4j.php as you said. I uninstalled all the component and mambot, and then reinstalled everything.
I’m continuing to get the “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\home\__StagingSites\teal.2gen.net\website\docs\
components\com_flickr4j\flickr4j.html.php on line 43″ errors.

Does anyone know what’s going on? Flick4j was working perfectly earlier this week and appears to have died with no reason.

You MUST have TWO photos assigned to a SET in Flickr!!! If you are only testing with one photo in Flickr, you will get this error, as soon as you post another photo, it will work! It would seem there needs to be some kind of error checking so it will not require two photos!

Left by Tom on April 23rd, 2008

I have two questions:

1) Is there a way to have sets always display no matter what? I changed up the code so it displays sets then when you click on a set the sets disappear and the set’s photos appear. I placed the lightbox functionality on these images. Problem is I don’t want the sets to be removed from the screen I want them to stay there and the photos to populate underneath. Is there a way to do this in the flickr4j.html.php file?

2) Is there a way to display private photos from flickr to Joomla?

Left by Mike on May 14th, 2008

I figured out question #1. Simply under case “sets” in the flickr4j.php file under “else if(!isset)$Photo))” copy the “if(!isset($Set)){” information and paste it above “HTML_flickr4j::displaySet($f, $Set, $Page);”

As for question #2 I am still working on a solution.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. I’ve been playing with the Flickr API settings I just don’t know where to place the arguments for flickr.photos.search

Hi
I am have a problem that is very similar to one of the postings in this thread. If I inset the codelines in my template php file, clicking on an flickr image results in a box opening, but only showing a white space, no picture.

Without the code it works, but in a primitive way. Clicking on an image makes the image open in a new browser window with white background.

I am using a rockttheme template with the “rokzoom” bot enable. Could it be a conflict that makes the code lines result in errors?

I am wondering why the flickr4j does not update sets when edits are made from Flickr. For example, if a person adds or deletes an image, the small thumbnails show the ‘no picture available’ sign. If the images are re-arranged, the old arrangement stays and if titles are changed they do not show up. Any idea why this would be?

Do you have multiple sets defined, if so make sure you have two pictures under each one. You may also want to start from scratch, not sure how much has changed since you experience the problem, but you may have more then just this problem now.

Warning: main(/home/sievingn/public_html/mambots/flickr4j/phpFlick/phpFlickr.php…………….

so swapped ‘mambots’ folder to ‘plugins’ as there’s no mambots folder

now get this

The Flickr API returned error code #100: Invalid API Key (Key not found)

though I’ve put in api key in plugin and then put it in phpFlickr.php on line 46 as it wasn’t there

run out of ideas now!

Hi,

I followed your tutorial and when I test the componenet I get the error of the following kind in this url: http://www.captionpower.com/index.php?option=com_flickr4j&Itemid=27

Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

first of all thanks for a great tutorial and i now have flickr4j running on my site. but i was wondering is there a way of making the lightbox/slimbox display bigger?

Hi Victor,

have you looked in the file /home/makeu11/public_html/captionpower/mambots/flickr4j/phpFlickr/PEAR/HTTP/Request.php

I think there is a wrong path in it.

HOW TO DISPLAY PRIVATE PICTURES TUTORIAL:

1.) Install as normal follow the instructions as Chris outlined; Except replace the API generation step with the steps outline at http://phpflickr.com/tools/auth/

Make sure you follow the instructions step by step its important to set the callback url to: http://phpflickr.com/tools/auth/auth.php

2.) The phpflickr website will give you a few lines of php code after you authorize the API within the actual flickr website.

3.) You will have to edit the php file for the Mambot you will be using in my case flickr4j_set.

The file is
>/mambots/content/flickr4j_set.php OR
>/mambots/content/flickr4j_pic.php

4.) Comment the line
$f = new phpFlickr($flickrapikey); (should be line 68)
by putting a # symbol in front of it. If something goes wrong you can just remove lines you have added and remove the pound symbol. Add the 2 lines from the phpflickr website output just below your commented line.

That should be it, oh and just a tip, I have noticed recently added/moved/updated pictures aren’t available to the API for 5-10 minutes. This includes any you move from public to private, so be patient.

NOTE: phpflickr.com is the API code base for flickr4j so no need to worry about the validity of the site.

I am getting the “The Flickr API returned error code #100: Invalid API Key (Key not found)” error for some reason. I have checked and double checked all of my files and i am using the correct API Key and Secret.

What do you recommend?

Left by Jacob on December 20th, 2008

Hi Chris,
You are very kind to share your knowledge and expertise. I really want to use Flickr to share photos of my little town in Northeastern Pennsylvania but I’m getting an odd error message when I try to edit the flickr4j_lib mambot. I’m a super administrator but when I click either on the name of the file or select it and click edit I get a Restricted Access pop-up and the file then becomes locked. Do you have any idea how I can fix this? I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find what setting I should change. I’m definitely a super administrator with all the permissions but I can’t edit the file.
Thanks in advance

Dear all,

I’m trying to get flickr4j to work on my website. Installed the lib, added the lines in template (index.php) and installed the component.

When i open the fotolink i’m getting this error. Anyone an idea?

Warning: require_once(/home/dyabt01/domains/mysite.nl/public_html/mambots/flickr4j/phpFlickr/phpFlickr.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/dyabt01/domains/mysite.nl/public_html/components/com_flickr4j/flickr4j.php on line 120

To all those having the ‘invalid photo ID error’… I solved this on my site by simply emptying the jos_flickr4jcache table.

If displaying single photos using the flickr4j pics module, when the photo is clicked it displays the correct ‘title’ information. However when you display an entire set and an image is clicked it displays the title as the original name of the file regardless of whether it has been changed in flickr. How can I get the title to display properly when viewing sets enlarged?

I have spent over a week playing with this. I do have php and javascript experience, and it looks as though it should work properly, however it is not.

Thanks for any help!!

Left by Josh on November 15th, 2009

nevermind on my last question. It had to do with caching. I changed the cache time to ‘1′ temporarily on the flickr4j_lib mambot and now it works fine. thanks for posting such helpful information regardless!

Hi,
we also started getting the bug described above:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /public_html/pt/mambots/content/flickr4j_set.php on line 73

We tried upgrading the phpFlickr to the latest version (of the phpFlickr folder in /mambots/flickr4j ).
We tried uninstalling and reinstalling the flickr4j component.

The error persists.

Is there a solution after all for this??

Please help we have loads of pages using this (great until now) plugin.

thanks.
