Hi! I love FAlbum. It is very nicely designed and easy to use. I was wondering: is it possible to display only certain “sets” based on the “collection” they belong to on Flickr? For ex, I’d like only my artwork sets to display when someone clicks on a button labeled “artwork.” “Artwork” is one of my collections on Flicrk, and I would like users to be able to see only those sets of photos that are in the “Artwork” collection. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Erika Varga -
Since I upgraded FAlbum, my sidebar information (blogroll, biographical info, etc) is showing up on the page with the photos Didn’t do that before. Any ideas why? Is it possible to communicate directly with the FAlbum developer?

This plugin is just great, i used it for years. But now i keep getting this error on my wordpress admin site: unable to get frob value. I applied for a new api key on the flickr side, to see if thats the problem, then i asked my hosting server if they changed something (they said no). Do you have any idea where the problem could be. Thanx for your help!
-
Another clever plugin from those guys.
Thanks. -
Thanks for the great plugin. I’m still experimenting with it but I did notice something that might fix the missing falbum_cache table error that some people (including me) get when setting it up.
Line 39 of wordpress-falbum-plugin.php is currently:
if ($user_level <
{
I believe if you change this to
if (!current_user_can('level_8')) {
it would fix the problem. At least on my installation, the global $user_level is set to 0 even for Administrators. Or maybe if you wanted to maintain backward compatibility a OR of the two conditions? Thanks again. -
That sunglass smiley is actually a ‘8′ followed by a ‘)’.

Hello Everyone!
What a nice Plugin! That is exactly what i am looking for. But i have two questions:
1.)
Can i use it without Wordpress?2.)
Can i use it with groups, too? I would like to display the public sets of our group…That would be sooo cool. I would even donate a small amout to get this working

Hey Eli awesome plugin, I’m trying to modify it a bit right now. My question is, can I set the ‘tags’ so that only photos or albums with those tags are displayed?
The issue is I have a Flickr account with mulitple company’s photo albums, and I only want to show one of those albums on the site. Thank you!
-
Ah disregard, thanks I figured it out! Awesome plugin.
Hopefully I did it right - just hard-coded the URL in the options page like:
http://www.theneedlesrock.com/photos/tags/theneedles
Of course visitors could easily hack this to find all of my /tags/ and browse from there, but I’ll figure that out later.
-
Just a note in case anyone else gets the same problem as me: this plug-in broke my RSS feed by adding an extra line break at the top of the document. It’s easily fixable by getting rid of extra line breaks at the end of the php files of the plug-in.
Not complaining though- the plug-in rocks! Thanks for making it

Is there anyway to allow commenting on specific pictures or albums?
-
I have been using this plugin for over a year and it is the best Flickr Wordpress plugin.
Recently I upgraded to Wordpress 2.3.3 and the crap hit the fan. The plugin no longer works and I upgraded to 7.1. The mod_rewrite doesn’t seem to work at all but even using the full length plugin url, none of the photo album photos show and I can’t see any albums past page 2.
Anyone else experiencing these problems?

How to disable falbum cache (I wanted to post this in the forum but was blocked by BadBehaviour)
—
In FAlbum.class.php I found the following code:
[b]define(’FALBUM_DO_NOT_CACHE’, 0);[/b]
Changing 0 to 1 didnt do anything on my site - new entries in table wp_falbum_cache were still created.So I looked for the sql-cache-queries and disabled them by adding //:
falbum/wp/FAlbum_WP.class.php[b]//[/b]$wpdb->query(”REPLACE INTO $table SET ID=’”.md5($key).”‘, data=’”.addslashes(serialize($data)).”‘, expires=DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL $cache_option SECOND)”);
To also disable read-querys from cache, I made a change to the following line:
before:
$output = $wpdb->get_row(”SELECT data, (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(expires) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP()) expires FROM “.$table.” WHERE ID=’”.md5($key).”‘”);after:
$output = null; //$wpdb->get_row(”SELECT data, (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(expires) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP()) expires FROM “.$table.” WHERE ID=’”.md5($key).”‘”);Result: no more new entries in wp_falbum_cache

-
I just found out that disabling read-querys from cache makes my site really slow - so please do not change in falbum/wp/FAlbum_WP.class.php
$output = $wpdb->get_row(”SELECT data, (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(expires) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP()) expires FROM “.$table.” WHERE ID=’”.md5($key).”‘”);

I am using your great plugin on one of my websites. But I find a bug I cant solve. If I have a folder with (I guess) more than 500 picture on flickr - only the first thumbnail page is showing up. The second disappear together with the correct link to flickr, slideshow and single picture. Its strange. Is there a limitation???
-
I’m getting a whole lot of “falbum_makeEditable is not defined” when viewing individual photographs…
Hoping there is a fix for this soon…
-
If you happen name the folder in your plugin directory, FAlbum, you’ll bang your head against the wall. Folder should be named falbum. Case sensitivity of course.
Thanks. Great plugin. Using on new copy of wp 2.3.3. No problem.
-
Congratulations buddy! This theme rocks. We use it in my wife’s blog too and love it.
-
There seems to be some conflicts between jquery 1.2.3 and the FAlbum JavaScript file (falbum-c.js). It tells me that a jquery history init function is not defined.
And overlib-c.js gives me an error about a missing ; character (although that doesn’t break anything).
-
Me also,
Since I upgraded FAlbum, my sidebar information (blogroll, biographical info, etc) is showing up on the page with the photos Didn’t do that before. Any ideas why?
-
Eli,
Any thoughts of bringing on other developers? Just wondering if an update is coming, or if perhaps you were looking for helping hands.

-
does the plugin work with WP 2.5??? I am getting error when accessing the config in the WP admin panel.
-
sorry it was a plugin confliction with WPOpenID
get this error
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Log in /home/djvibe/blog.djvibe.com/wp-content/plugins/lib/Log.php on line 38

Hello,
a really great plugin! But I have some suggestions for improvements:
- You should be able to select different thumbnail sizes for the overview page with the albums and for the overview page of one single album.
- You should be able to deactivate caching. At the moment I’m trying to make FAlbum work well with my Wordpress theme and after every change I have to empty the cache.
- A possibility to show the sets instead of the albums.I think I would be able to do these changes by myself. But if I do so it would be great if you could integrate these changes in the ‘official’ FAlbum version. Otherwise I would have to redo these changes after every update.
It would be great if I can contribute to this project!

Thumbs up for FAlbum !
Great plugin as far as I can see on others sites
Thumbs down for documentation !!!
Wiki is useless and lack of install instructions does not helpFalbum is installek OK and does work only under K2 interface because this is the only well documented theme embedding. Unfortunately, I do not use K2 permanently…
How do we generate a new page with falbum as the main content for display ??
Help !!
-
Is there a reason why I can’t see links to the photo sizes “Large” and “Original”?
I know the Max Photo Width setting says “The default size of the images returned from Flickr is 500 pixels” and I have it set to “0″, but why is it limited to 500 pixels?
You photo gallery shows the “Large” and “Original” photo-size links—how?
Thanks.
-
So I got this plugin to work somewhat in WP 2.5, but I’m still having issues.
The main photos page shows up fine and displays the sets and recent photos, but if I click on a set it just goes to a blank page. I viewed the page source and the code stops right after loading the overlib.js and before prototype.js. This also happens when I try to view an individual photo either from the recent photos page or from my recent photos displayed on my sidebar.
Can you fix this for 2.5 please? (I will send a big donation if you can because I love this plugin and I really need it to work soon.)
Or let me know if there’s something I can change in those JS files to make it work?
-
thx for the great plugin but i still cannot figure out how to make the friendly urls work, tried of editing the .htaccess file still not working, anyway i now use the redirect plugin to solve the link at the moment.
and i would like to suggest for the next version FALBUM, for paid flickr users, we can have the thing “COLLECTION” so if we could have options to choose showing “sets” or “collections” in the next generation FALBUM will be nice! thank you!
-
Thanks for your FAlbum plugin

Hi!
I just had to modify the show_random() function of your plugin for a customer who wanted to show random images from only one photoset. It’s a rather easy modification, less than 20 lines of code changed/added. Contact me if you want me to send you the modified FAlbum.class.php file. I would love if this could be included in the plugin so that I don’t run into trouble/extra work with the next FAlbum update.
Greetings, Johannes

I have to chime in - I love this plugin, and I also desperately want it to work with 2.5+. I’m donating a little something right now, since I’ve been using your plugins for a few years without ever giving back - shame on me! If you ever do update this plugin, I’ll make sure to come back and do the right thing again… without waiting years to do so

-
This plugin is awesome however I could never get it to work properly with Wordpress 2.5+ and the K2 theme until now. I’ve posted the (relatively small) change to the wiki. Everything seems to be working as it should for me!
