phpFlickr suddenly fail to work

[jdleung]

I wrote a plugin for wordpress(Flickr Comments) to get the comments from Flickr, and it works fine for more than one year, but recently it refuses to work.

I found it still can communicate with Flickr API, and can get the token but returns no comments. $comments = $f->photos_comments_getList($flickr_photo_id);

Is the Flickr API changed? or phpFlickr code?

Thanks.

Flickr updated their api URLs to use https. Try downloading the library again.

the plugin only needs one file phpFlickr.php, I have downloaded the newest one from here, still not work.

Can you tell me which library is needed?

Thx.

Open up the file and make sure all flicker api URLs are called from https:// instead of http://

Since the plugin use phpFlickr.php to connent with Flickr, so there is no Flickr link in the plugin codes.

I found these at the beginning of phpFlickr.php: var $rest_endpoint = 'https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/'; var $upload_endpoint = 'https://up.flickr.com/services/upload/'; var $replace_endpoint = 'https://up.flickr.com/services/replace/';

and I checked the file, 185 of them are https. I believe the newest phpFlickr.php had been renewed for that problem.

But so sorry, it still doesn't work. ;-(

You may have had the same issue as me (#48) if you had previously been using the library and then updated it.

Try commenting out this line and then uncommenting the line above.

It works now! I think it's about not getting the new token after using the version phpFlickr.php.

I also keep the two lines below in original status.

$this->parsed_response = json_decode($this->response, TRUE); /* $this->parsed_response = $this->clean_text_nodes(json_decode($this->response, TRUE)); */

I've just made a manual-update, I'll leave it to run a auto-update in 10 hours.

Report then.

Thx.

Wierd thing! It refuses to work again, even a manual-update. ;-(

the plugin use two methods to get the comment:

1. manual-update: $comments = $f->photos_comments_getList($flickr_photo_id);
2. auto-update: $comments_info = $f->activity_userPhotos($timeframe,50,$result_page);

Hope someone can give a solution.

replace $f = new phpFlickr($fc_api['api_key'], $fc_api['api_secret']); to $f = new phpFlickr($fc_api['api_key'], $fc_api['api_secret'], true);

This shows me the error "#98 - Invalid auth token" .

Then add one line to set the $_SESSION['phpFlickr_auth_token'] before $f->activity_userPhotos()

So far, it works normally in both manual-update and auto-update.
