Fun hacks, WP plugins, photography, and PKI junk. Languishing since 2008.

1. Stephanie September 11, 2009 at 9:10 pm

   Hi,

   I was wondering if you could tell me why my Fidgetr widget won’t show my photos. It was working fine two days ago and now it won’t show them. Please e-mail me? I’d appreciate it.
2. Will October 5, 2009 at 3:43 pm

   TREVOR: yes!
   I too needed to do this for a client.

   I used ThickBox for the presentation. Make sure the ThickBox scripts are loaded (I just added the nice “Auto ThickBox” plugin, as I use it elsewhere too. I am sure you could do it with other lightbox-like libraries… adjust accordingly.)

   modify the appropriate theme file for fidgetr.
   i like the crossfade look, so I edited /wp-content/plugins/fidgetr/themes/crossfade.theme.php

   right after the <script … tag, incorporate this:

   for(x=0;x < fidgetrObject.photo.length;x++) {
   	if (x==0) {
   		document.write('<span style="">'+fidgetrObject.photo[x].title+'');
   	} else {
   		document.write('<span style="">'+fidgetrObject.photo[x].title+'');
   	}
   

   (I hope that makes it through the posting process!)

   basically, incorporate class=”thickbox” in the anchor tag, change the href to be the fidgetrObject.photo[x].url_med…

   I think this would be a great feature to incorporate into fidgetr in the future. i will happily send my code along if Paul would like to see. right now its ‘dumb’ (no toggle switch in the widget admin panel, no test for thickbox libraries) but that shouldnt be a big deal.

   cheers,
   Will

   Hi,
   It seems fidgetr is not working correctly with special characters such as öäå. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
   /Robert
4. Paul Kehrer October 16, 2009 at 12:43 pm

   Fixed, thanks for the report Robert!
5. Giovanni October 17, 2009 at 5:47 am

   Hi, the Plugin works very well!
   Is it possible to use it to show two or three Flickr set in the same homepage?
6. Paul Kehrer October 28, 2009 at 7:05 pm

   Fidgetr 2.0 supports this feature, thanks for the suggestion Giovanni!
7. Joseph November 1, 2009 at 5:58 am

   Hi Will,

   I am trying to get auto thickbox to work with this, could you please advise in more detail, where to add the code to the theme file? I tried to replace the original code, with your suggested code, but it did not seem to work?

   Please help, thanks!
8. Oliver November 5, 2009 at 9:36 am

   Hullo Paul!
   We’re trying to use this on our blog and it’s throwing up this on the (cloned) test blog:

   Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /users/webs/www.usembassy.org.uk/data/testblog1/wp-content/plugins/fidgetr/flickrApi.class.php on line 100

   (it has two of these in the Widget panel; file permissions are fine for this – and other! – plugins so not sure why it’s moaning?)

   Any info appreciated

   Cheers,

9. Paul Kehrer November 5, 2009 at 11:39 am

   I’ve decided to fix this url_fopen issue once and for all and migrated to using snoopy (a PHP class that wraps fsockopen in a more elegant way). Fidgetr 2.1.1 is now released and should resolve your problem!
10. Oliver November 5, 2009 at 12:25 pm

    And it works beautifully – merci buckets!
11. Nicholas November 8, 2009 at 9:22 pm

    Can you help me make fidgetr look better on this theme?

    I want it centered, with two images per row, with padding around each image, and a space put down below the last row so that corner image doesn’t overlap.

    Thank you so much for making this widget and for helping.
12. Dave November 19, 2009 at 2:31 am

    Hey Paul, Love the plugin! By far the best flickr plugin around.

    Quick question… I have implemented the plugin on two sites in a widget (both in the grid template).

    When I click on the images on one site, it takes me to a black lightbox where the fullsize image comes up and I can scroll through the defined gallery — this is what I want.

    When I click on an image on the other site, it takes me to the actual image on flickr – I don’t want this…

    How can I get the lightbox functionality to occur on the site that is taking me to the flickr photo page…

    any hints?
    thanks
    Dave
13. Ashley Sue Allen December 11, 2009 at 3:34 pm

    It’s a shame, I have php5 running, yet I’m getting the same parse error as others have gotten. :/ Seems like a cool plugin, but if it won’t work… c’est la vie.
14. Yen December 11, 2009 at 11:35 pm

    Hello, thank you for designing this plugin widget. It looks great!
    Been trying to see how to delay the crossfade time between photos. Is there a relatively easy way to do this for non-tech people like me?
    Thank you so much!
15. Yen December 11, 2009 at 11:37 pm

    Oh, I’m interested to know if it’s possible to to click on the images to a light/thickbox versus linking to the flickr gallery too. Thanks Paul! Appreciate your time to help me.
16. Paul Kehrer December 14, 2009 at 10:50 am

    If you look inside the fidgetr plugin directory you’ll see a directory called themes. Inside that there is a file called crossfade.theme.php. Find this line:

    timeOutId_number; ?> = setTimeout(‘imageRotator_number; ?>(‘+(index+1)+’)', 5000);

    5000 is the number of milliseconds between each crossfade. Change it to whatever you’d like! If you want to change how long it takes to crossfade look for the lines with “2500″ in them above this line. There are two of them, so be sure to change them both if you want to change the transition duration.
17. Jean December 16, 2009 at 6:50 pm

    Hi Paul,
    Your plugin seems great.
    Do you think I have a chance to integrate it into WP 2.05 (my current blog) ? I can tweak some php or JS but not so much.
18. Mickster December 22, 2009 at 11:52 am

    Hi Paul, thanks for your plugin, it’s just great!
    Is there a way to show pictures right in my site (using thickbox for instance) rather than showing them in flickr site?
    It works fine with the grid theme, but not with the crossfade one.

    Will you help me on this, please?
19. Giovanni December 31, 2009 at 3:12 am

    After last upgrade, plugin do not work well. It shows two or three pictures; not one. Why?

    look at: http://www.parrocchiasansilvestropapa.it/
20. kat December 31, 2009 at 11:28 am

    This was working great until the latest upgrade, now the image does not resize correctly and pushing out into my main content area. :/

    is there away to go back a version?
21. giovanni December 31, 2009 at 12:51 pm

    @ kat

    .. the image does not resize correctly and pushing out into my main content area.

    I Confirm. The same for me
22. Paul Kehrer December 31, 2009 at 12:54 pm

    The layout issue should be resolved now (hopefully). Let me know if anyone is still experiencing the issue after upgrading to 2.1.4.
23. giovanni December 31, 2009 at 4:20 pm

    Now it’s ok. Thanks
24. Lisa January 7, 2010 at 2:24 pm

    Thanks for this wonderful flickr plugin, i’m not sure if someone has asked this before, but i cannot get the images to auto sync with my blog when i add them to flickr, is there a time limit or should they sync automatically

    (If i go into the widget settings and click “save” this solves the problem and puts the latest images in) – but i’d rather have them auto sync

    Thanks
25. Lisa January 11, 2010 at 4:32 pm

    Hi Paul

    Thanks for the reply to my mail. Happy that it autosyncs every 2 hours by default.

    Thanks for your help, great plugin

    Lisa
26. eric January 14, 2010 at 10:12 am

    hi there
    thanks for the great plug in design. im just wondering if is possible for fidgetr to change to display random picture from the set everytime i go to the site, rather than display the latest photos?
27. Paul Kehrer January 14, 2010 at 10:16 am

    I’ve added this feature request to my list. I like the idea!
28. eric January 14, 2010 at 10:40 am

    glad to hear that
29. cJm January 15, 2010 at 8:05 pm

    I really like your plugin, but my site already has shadowbox installed, I prefer it to the others. Now with your plugin loaded the images get displayed twice once by slimbox then by shadowbox, even if I’m not using the Slimbox option in your widget. So can your plugin use an already installed shadowbox.

    Cheers
30. sebos January 20, 2010 at 6:37 am

    Hi all,

    I just release a french translation of the plugin.. the question is how can I send you the .po/.mo files so you will be able to include it in a future release?
    Thanks again for this great plugin.
    Regards.
    Sebastien
31. notech February 12, 2010 at 8:59 am

    Hello not sure if someone asked this before but as my site is in Italian language only,I woud love to have translated the ”Image n% of N%” when view a foto to my language.
    Any hints? thank you and great widget thanks
32. Paul Kehrer February 14, 2010 at 1:36 pm

    Slimbox is, unfortunately, not localizable at this time. I’ll look into altering it though. The big changes required would be a way to pull locales into JS, the translation itself, and new graphics for the previous/next labels.
33. Philippe February 25, 2010 at 5:06 am

    Hi,

    great plugin !

    It would be nice being able to choose the size of the image displayed… (the size from flickr)

    A workaround I’ve found is to change the “_m+” with _t+” manually in the plugin editor (to reduce the size for example) but it’s overwritten on each update.
34. Chris Krauskopf February 26, 2010 at 2:22 pm

    Hi Paul,

    Using version 2.3 and having 2 issues. 1 is that despite having the slimbox option checked, it is taking me to the flickr homepage for any of the widget types. 2) the crossfade widget shows only the first photo in the set and never changes. I’ve tried it with wordpress 2.9.1 and 2.9.2 with the same issues.
35. James April 29, 2010 at 8:06 pm

    I installed version 2.3 but when I tried to activate it I got the following error message:
    Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/content/j/c/o/jcowlin/html/wp-content/plugins/fidgetr/fidgetr.php on line 24
    Is there an easy way for me to fix this?
36. Steve April 30, 2010 at 2:50 am

    Hi: I can’t configure the widget. After I add my user ID and click save it reverts back to your name.

    How can I fix this?
37. jeff June 3, 2010 at 7:44 pm

    Fidgetr refuses to take NSID’s (Using WP 2.8.4 with Fidgetr 2.3.1)

    When I enter an NSID into the “Flickr Username/Email Address/NSID” field in the widget and hit save, the widget rejects the NSID and redisplays the default username “Paul Kehrer”

    I’ve verified the NSID is valid.

    Any idea what’s happening?
38. Paul Kehrer June 5, 2010 at 8:10 pm

    This bug is resolved in 2.4 (along with numerous other improvements!)
39. jeff June 14, 2010 at 2:18 pm

    Thanks Paul–2.4 worked fine with my user account NSID and 2.5 is working like a charm with a group pool NSID.

    Great plugin, thank you for the effort
40. Marty Yawnick July 11, 2010 at 5:00 pm

    Hi, Paul,

    I’m having a problem with Fidgetr linking to my Group pool. I’ve entered my group’s NSID and the widget is grabbing the photos that are in the pool. But when you click on the images, I get sent to a link like this:

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/NSID/4724906082

    and I get this error:

    Page Not Found
    Oops! Looks like you followed a bad link.

    instead of my group page or the photographer’s page that the image is diplayed.

    I’ve removed the widget for now. ist here anything I can tweak to get this to work? Thanks, Paul

    =M=
41. Dave July 18, 2010 at 3:43 pm

    Hi – I am a rookie that needs some help. I have the page published and the widget is working perfectly. I’d like to move it over to a PAGE rather than the navigation. How would I do this? Thanks.
42. Kevan Emmott July 19, 2010 at 1:01 pm

    An awesome enhancement to this would be to allow a user to select a Tag to pull from instead of (or in addition to) a Set. Actually, what I would love is “Latest Sets”, but Flickr makes pulling a feed of sets hard. What I do is tag the picture I want to be the “cover” of the set, and this is easily pulled as a feed.
43. Kevan Emmott July 19, 2010 at 1:26 pm

    And actually, getting the list of sets isn’t that hard anymore, it just doesn’t quite match up to the structure of a getPhotos call. You get a “photosets” collection of “photoset”s, with the id of the main photo being “primary”.

    I tried tweaking the plugin, but I would have to add a new class to your Api class file to call the photosets.getList call, and then modify or add a new class to build the photo urls using “primary” instead, and then call it from the plugin file itself – I got a bit too down in the weeds for a quick mod.
44. Matt July 21, 2010 at 3:59 am

    Hey,

    as you can see I have a problem with the hspacing in the grid view. It’s not there. I can’t find the right place to put it in, too. Could you help me? I want the same space between the pictures for vertical and horizontal space. Thank you!!
45. Sajay July 25, 2010 at 1:01 pm

    Is there anyway to make this configurable since the URL need not match the userid? This would break the links when giving an nsid.

    private function buildPhotoUrlArray($photo) {
    if(is_array($photo)) {
    //this SHOULD mean it is a photo pool since the user_id and owner don’t match.
    /*if($this->user_id != $owner) {
    $flickrUrl .= “/in/pool-{$this->user_id}/”;
    }*/
46. Mykela August 8, 2010 at 1:26 am

    Ok, I feel like an idiot but I cant get my photos to display. If I leave the default info(Paul’s) I see photos but when putting in my own user id it doesnt give me a list of photo sets to choose from. Only Latest photos, and nothing displays. Do u have to be a pro mbr to make this work?
47. Seth August 11, 2010 at 10:44 am

    Hi,
    I can’t seem to get the grid view to only show a few images I’ve set via your widget

    The other hemes work… the default, and the fader, but not the grid.

    Otherwise it’s awesome.

    i do have other plugins to display flickr in my posts and pages, but I’ve turned them all of and it doesn’t seem to have an effect.

    any ideas?
48. Robpoke August 15, 2010 at 1:46 pm

    The grid show ALL my images when set to random, I just want a few to show. All other features seem to work just fine though
49. Paul Kehrer August 17, 2010 at 4:27 pm

    Just released 2.5.3 to fix this bug. Oops! Thanks for the heads up. It should appear as an update in the next few hours for you.
50. haiba August 18, 2010 at 6:45 pm

    I’m recieving a “Fatal error: Call to a member function fidgetr_images() on a non-object in…”

    I want to show the images on a single page and this is the code I’ve written:

    fidgetr_images(); ?>

    What’s wrong there?

    Thanks a lot, it’s a great widget!
