When I tried to post a photo earlier today over at my little photo blog flickpress gave me a notice saying my API key was no good. I think Flickr does expire keys from time to time, so I checked my key. It looked correct so I did some further testing. I finally figured out [...]
Bugfix! @flash just let me know about a bug preventing new Flickr users from getting added. I think I’ve fixed the bug – version 1.6.1 should be available for upgrade shortly.
This release fixes a bunch of cosmetic things and adds some navigation links. I find the Older/Newer links for recent photos especially useful when I [...]
Bug fix! Tarique and Falko noticed that having more than one phpFlickr-based plugin enabled at once can result in conflicts. Rather than figure out how to check for the library (and version – conflicts there too) I’ve opted to rename some things in the version of phpFlickr included with flickpress. This should avoid any conflicts, [...]
Jonathan asked if I could add descriptions and EXIF data to the captions so I decided to give it a go. After some wrestling with JavaScript escaping issues I think I’ve got it working correctly. Please let me know if not!
If you’re curious about escaping data to pass from PHP to JavaScript, I used rawurlencode [...]
Too soon, I know, but this update actually adds a useful feature. Here’s what’s new:
Added an option to set the class for the caption div. It defaults to “alignnone” as before if you don’t set it to anything.
Updated phpFlickr to the latest version. Nothing new from that so far, but this may allow me to [...]
This update doesn’t change much, so as usual you should only upgrade if you see something in the changes that sounds interesting. Straight out of the changelog in the readme:
Switched to using wp-load.php in the popup tool.
Turned captions on by default.
Moved things around on the photo insert page to work better on netbook screens.
Tested with [...]
This update just adds some options to the widget, so if you don’t use the widget there’s no need to update. @susansoaps asked how to display images horizontally with the widget, which wasn’t easy to do because the widget was wrapping images in <p> tags. So, the widget now offers options to specify exactly what [...]
This update adds a bunch of error checks and notices to make sure that you enter a working Flickr API key and a working capability in the settings. I set “edit_posts” as the default capability to use the plugin since choosing that was a little nebulous. I also fixed a bug where only the first [...]
This update to flickpress expands the search feature I added to the previous version, adding search for user photos too. I also added a list of the Creative Commons and other licenses so you can choose which you’d like to search – maybe useful if you want to find a photo photo you don’t need [...]
Inspired a bit by Svein’s comment, I added a feature to search Flickr for Creative Commons and public domain photos. It’s probably still a little rough, but seems to work pretty well so far. Since most licenses require attribution, I’ve turned on the caption by default – and it now includes a link to the [...]
