Gallery2Flickr

Are you using the newest version of the module? Currently there is no option to resume an operation if it broke down. I should probably add something like that. But so far I had no troubles myself even with large sets of over hundred pictures. I would suggest splitting the set if somehow possible or selecting the remaining images manually - though that is probably painful

looking forward to the fix. much appreciated. i'm getting the same errors as a few on here.

According to Valiant, you "need to change the module / core API requirement" because your "usage of GalleryCoreApi::error calls is not backwards compatible with g2.1.2".

@Jean-Marc: Thanks. I'll try to fix that for the next version.

@fortyfoxes: Tags from flickr are supported. They directly match keywords in Gallery. They will be exported and imported. Author and licenses are not supported (yet). There are no default fields like that in Gallery and I did not think about a solution to that yet. How could that be done?

Having some problems getting the info about extra fields from the Remote API. As an example for a call to "fetch-album-images" (http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery_Remote:Protocol#fetch-album-images), on a test album with one image - I send:

Now I should get back a response which includes this information:

But I get nothing back about "extrafield" and the "image.caption.ref-num" is contains the "title" as shown in the web GUI and the "image.title.ref-num" contians the (file)Name as shown in the GUI. Can find "description" and "keywords" nowhere in the response.

Here is the full response:

Thanks for the module, I tested it by exporting one of my albums, but I noticed on Flickr it didn't keep the watermark that has been set on each photo/album.

Is there anyway of maintaining the watermark that's set in Gallery when exporting to Flickr?

On another note I keep getting this error when exporting the photos to Flickr:

Database Error

An error has occurred while interacting with the database.

Back to the Gallery

But all the images in the Gallery appear on my Flickr account, so its nothing major as it still works.

Everytime I try to import a whole set I get

Database Error

An error has occurred while interacting with the database.

Back to the Gallery

Granted it's got 710 photos in it and it might exceed a php limit on my site..

But when i try to import individual images from flickr i get a fill-in image put into my gallery saying "This image is currently unavailable"

Any ideas?

Also, I apply the fix upthread for the security violation... and still can't login to my site after logging out...

hi,

i'm fairly new to gallery, but have got a small problem with this module as it causes two problems:

- i get security violation if i try to log/login
- i get a blank white screen when i click on the "generate link" button

much appreciated if can anyone shed any light on these as i'm mad keen to get it working!?

cheers, will.

OK, here's a patch against 0.2.9 for being able to download the biggest image available to a Free (non-Pro) user:

http://users.puzzling.org/users/mary/src/Gallery2Flickr-fix-sizes-for-free-users.diff

It uses getSizes in the crucial place, because getSizes returns URLs for all available sizes of a photo, whereas http://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.urls.html describes no way to calculate the static URL for a Large image for a Free user. Possibly getSizes should be used everywhere, since it seems much less fragile than trying to follow http://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.urls.html

As for the rotation problem, the problem is that if a user uploaded an image to Flickr and it wasn't rotated already and the user rotated it later, the Large (for Free) and Original (for Pro) images never have the rotation applied. This seems like a problem (or feature) of Flickr, not of this plugin.

I have Gallery 2.1.2 and just installed G2Flickr 0.2.9. The module has been activated, but I don't see anything that allows me to authenticate the user. Where do I find this?? Is this compatible with v.2.1.2??

Thanks!

Allan

You'll find the Flickr authentication part in your user account management. Each user can register seperately at Flickr if necessary.

The module should tell you if it is compatible with 2.1.2 during installation.

Cheers, Gunnar

I had to upgrade to the newer phpFlickr library in the 0.9.0 release. So you patch did not match anymore. Would it be possible to recreate it against the newer phpFlickr lib? Sorry for the inconvience.

Cheers,

Gunnar

I'm having the same issue, and I'm using the latest version. My photos show up when I click Import from Flickr, but if I choose either a photo or a whole set, I get a window that says "This photo is currently unavailable." Any fixes for this problem?

I was not aware of this but it might be the case. Maybe Flickr does not allow to download original sized photos for non-pro users? There was somebody that provided a patch to download the pictures in the largest available format but I couldn't include it for 0.9.0 since it did not match the upgraded phpFlickr library.

Hi, just successfully installed and configured this module in a scratch Gallery2 installation to test it out. I was just having a look around, wondering if anyone lese has asked these question, but can't see any posts....

- is it possible to cron or somehow schedule an automatic import or export, rather than having it run manually?

- can you import images from a group rather than a user or a set or based on a search?

Thanks, James

I've installed the bridge but it's not showing on the sidebar. using G2 2.2.2. any clue?

david

David,
I'm having the same issue. I've installed the module, but can't find it in Gallery2.
Anybody have advice?

-Andrew

I also can't find any button to upload. Please help!

(for future reference: go to the first page of the topic and click "subscribe post" below the opening message in the topic.. yup, it's kinda hidden when the topic is long)

(1st post, I hope I'm not breaking any rule)

Morktron: indeed Flickr doesn't let free users download original-sized pictures.
In my case, I found out that I could download all the way to 1024x768, which suits me.

Here is what I did:
1. I opened classes/Gallery2Flickr.class.php
2. I looked for:
$photo_url = $this->flickr->buildPhotoURL($photo, 'original');
3. I replaced with:
$photo_url = $this->flickr->buildPhotoURL($photo, 'large'); // CFR

Cheers,

I am looking to pay someone to import my Gallery photos into Flickr. Please email me at

if you're able to do this.

Thanks!

I submitted a bug report on this. But I also wanted to post here in the forum and see if I could possibly get some help? Here is a link to my bug report:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1788126&group_id=199596&atid=970126

I have a couple issues with my gallery2flickr module not working correctly on my website.

I just recently installed gallery2flickr on my gallery2 site. It currently
times out in several places when trying to run the module.

1) When i'm in an gallery album and I try and click on import from flickr
(in the options on the left) the page will time out. Eventually it puts me
to a page cannot be displayed error and redirects me to my
\gallery\main.php page. At which point I have to go back to the main page of the site to get back to my gallery albums.

2) When I do manage to successfully get the import option to work, and it
brings up the screen to select what images to import from my flickr
account. The "import set" function might transfer one or two files and then
time out on the rest.

3) If I try and manually import using the "import image from set" option.
It will let me select one or two individual files and that is about it,
then the page will time out again. I have managed to work it up to 3 images
sometimes before this happens.

let me know if there is any additional information/files you need to help you
determine the issue.

here is the debug output from gallery when try to import the photos from a set. Since I turned on debug output, I don't seem to have the problem with loading the import tool at least. But it still times out in retrieving the photos from Flickr and importing them into Gallery.

http://pastebin.com/m5e596806

OK, well apparently even deleting the old album in G1 before sending the G2 album to Flickr doesn't help - I still get duplicates of every image, which slows down the import process HUGELY, making it far less effective. Now I have to wait twice as long for the upload to complete, then go in and delete all the duplicate images and manually create a set (since Gallery2Flickr doesn't seem to automatically include the exported images in a Flickr set corresponding with the G2 album of origin).

Any help on this? I will pay money at this point... $50, at least, for a resolution to this. I know it's not much as we all have f/t jobs, but this is frustrating.

Hello,

Sounds like a great module but I have the same problem as willprotein :

- i get a blank white screen when i click on the "generate link" button, I am running on mac and have this pb with Safari as well as Firefox.

anyone has an idea ? Thanx in advance for your answer.
