Flickr Feeder Updated


New ReleaseIf you’re using Flickr Feeder, I’d suggest you go and grab the updated archive for your site, since it has a number of fixes and additions that make using it quite a bit easier.  As always, this release features:

  • WordPress Widgets support.
  • Creative borders and overlays for thumbnails.
  • The ability to display the feed in a post - just use the %flickr_feeder% magic word.
  • Optional thumbnail resizing.
  • RSS feed caching.

Here’s a quick list of changes:

  • Fixed a problem with overlays not correctly being applied due to bad filenames.
  • Made image dimension settings optional. If an overlay is used, the overlay’s dimensions will be used to resize the original image. This makes selecting different overlays and testing them much easier.
  • Changed the name of the plugin to avoid conflicts with other plugins.

We hope you enjoy this release, and remember - post support questions to the support forums.

Christopher, do you have problems with the flickr feeder not “rotating” images… as in getting the same block of images time after time again in the feeder? I’m having a devil of a time figuring out how to fix this and am not sure if it is a Flickr related issue or if it’s because of the Feedr you provide. Please advise.

Hi Chris. I have installed Cleaker 2.1 theme. It has installed your plugin by default but i haven’t been able to run it.

The only thing I achieved is to display the photo titles after a loooong time loading my site.

Is it possible it is due to 2.3.1 version of Wordpress?

No - it’s probably your host. Flickr Feeder SHOULD tell you whether or not your host supports downloading remote files to the server or not, but I’ve noticed it’s not consistent. What seems to be happening is you’re able to download the XML feed for your stream, but not able to download, cache and process the images. Sometimes this has to do with file permissions, but more often than not it’s the host. Talk to your host and make sure they provide GD support for PHP and that they allow you to download files via scripts through the web server. Good luck!

As long as i can understand there’s no mention of that GD support for PHP. I’ll go the way of the permissions but don’t know what folder modify its attributes. Maybe the flickr feedr folder itself?
