Support for Private albums?

OK, the plugin doesn’t work with private albums. But it can do with just a little work.

I’ve written the handling part so it works, the only aspect that would need work is making a nice interface for getting a Token from Flickr.
I’m happy to share the code if it would help anyone else (and I’m going to try to ping hte author direct in case he is interested in integrating it).

Hi emirprime, you exactly identified the issue I’m having. Specifically I’m trying to use the shortcode example (of course with my own album):

[flickr_set id=”72157629228993613″]

…and I get the following error message

“Flickr API error: Photoset not found”

Please share your hack. This is the only reason why I’m using the plugin. I’d hate to give it anything less than 5 stars because of such a silly oversight by the author. Thanks!!!

Hi mallamace,

Sorry it’s taken ages to reply.

I have put my changes up on Github – you can see the diff here: https://github.com/emirpprime/flickr-justified-gallery/commit/19f2aea547bdea256c6a841c0382bb8e4715294c (there’s some whitespace changes too I’m afraid).

However my code currently only handles the dispaly side, not the authentication. See this for how to do the authentication: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15524147/php-flickr-authentication-to-access-private-photos
(This gist is that you temporarily modify getToken.php in the plugin then take the resulting values and save them using the plugin admin interface.)

All the best,
Phil
