   On http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flickr-mini-gallery/ it states that this plugin works for WP version 2.0.2 ; however, I’m running version 2.3.3 and it won’t let me load the plugin as it calls for the shortcode() function. By any chance do you have an older version that works under WordPress version 2.3.3?

2. admin on September 2nd, 2008

   @Roamer

   Sorry mate, my fault. I started writing the plugin for 2.0.2 but then I changed. No older versions sorry for the inconvenience.

   By the way thanks to let me know I changed the information on wordpress repository as well.

   I was looking into using your gallery and when I install it the lightbox stuff doesn’t work. It’s not my browser because I can see you demo fine but my installs… Any ideas?

4. Nilay on September 23rd, 2008

   Hello. Is there a way to paginate the results ? I guess I am missing something as there is a per_page option. Thanks for this plugin

5. Colin on September 24th, 2008

   I have the same problem as Dave Reid.
   Any ideas?

   greets, Colin

6. Colin on September 24th, 2008

   Fixed it! The address to the CSS seems to be wrong!

   Very nice script!

   Thnx!

7. John on September 24th, 2008

   Looks like this is a great plugin, but I am having the same problem with the lightbox as the Colin and Dave, but without a solution. Looks great in squares or thumbs, just no enlarged image - just follows the link. Any suggestions?

8. Bernhrad on October 20th, 2008

   There are 2 problems with the actual files:
   1. I miss the path to the css-file in the file flickr_mini_gallery.php”. If you use the plugin, you can only open the file. I have change the file at line 46. I put in there “echo ”;”.
   2. If you us your plugin with some themes (like “Gunmetal” from http://www.sixshootermedia.com/), the next-button shows under the close button. I have change the file “jquery.lightbox-0.5.css” at line 60 from “width: 49%;” to “width: 48%”. So it works perfect.

   P.S. A perfect an siply working plugin.

   Ok, here is what i figured out:

   - The plugin works fine out of the box, but only shows the images and click throughs to flickr.

   - The lightbox does not work, because the lightbox stylesheet is not included by the plugin. In the example it seems to be manually included:
   /wp-content/plugins/flickr-mini-gallery/css/jquery.lightbox-0.5.css

   - The second part that seems to be missing is the registering of the images to be handled by the lightbox. In the example this is done by including the js file “wp-content/themes/neoclassical/_js/gallery.js” This file seems to register the images with the light box, and to do some other stuff.

   Is there a way the author (or someone who made this work) provides some step by step help in how to recreate the working example? or maybe even update the plugin?

   it looks great, but the last mile seems too steep for me.

   cheers

    Lighbox fix:

    Open file flickr_mini_gallery.php
    find:
    add_action(’wp_head’, ‘jquery_lightbox_scripts’,5);
    after add:

    function lightbox_css() {
    $path = ‘/wp-content/plugins/flickr-mini-gallery/css’;
    wp_enqueue_style(’jquerylightboxcss’, $path.’/jquery.lightbox-0.5.css’, false, false, ’screen’);
    wp_print_styles(array(’jquerylightboxcss’));
    }

    add_action(’wp_head’, ‘lightbox_css’);

    Now initialize the right class
    Open miniflickr.js

    find:
    .format_text
    chage it with:
    .post_content

    this solution work fine for me ~cheers

12. dimas on October 31st, 2008

    @bartolli

    i can’t find any .format_text on miniflicker.js are you sure about this?

13. bartolli on November 5th, 2008

    @dimas
    Sorry for the delayed answer ..
    This classname is used by lightbox();

    You need to get Akismet up and running to cut back on the spam comments.

    I have tried this plugin with 2.7 and it doesnt work. No obvious error messages but it just doesnt show anything. It shows the alternate text however.

15. Gareth on January 17th, 2009

    Hi, I’m up and running on 2.7 but the lightbox won’t run - I noticed there’s a few comments trying to fix it but these solutions don’t seem to work either - any thoughts?

16. angeliech on January 22nd, 2009

    Hi,

    It does not work. What may be the possible cause? Thanks!

17. admin on January 30th, 2009

    Hey Guys,
    Sorry for the biggest delay ever answering you here. I´m still in holidays (actually a long sabatic) but I took some minutes to update the plugin fixing the problem with lightbox so please download the last version here on this page and let me know if yuo have other problems.

    Thanks so much for those helping to improve and solve the problems

18. Nigel Minchin on February 19th, 2009

    Hi

    I have installed and activated the plugin and then add [miniflickr tags=”st, albans, verulamium”] into my sidebar.php code (inside a div) but it just prints the text on the page. Am I missing something really stupid? Does it need php tags etc?

    Thanks

    Nigel

19. GUstav on March 5th, 2009

    How do i disable the lightbox script off, it blocks my other “lightbox-2″ function.

20. Gaurav on March 7th, 2009

    Hello Felipe,

    I am facing a problem where on local server it shows the images form flickr but on the online server the images are not displaying.

    Can you please let me know if any server setting needs to be changed?

    Wow Great plugi, thnaks I love it.

    I only have a problem with the “tag_mode” option.
    No matter what I do it only shows pictures the ALL option. So the 3 line below all give the same pictures return

    [miniflickr user_id=”32776803@N08” tags=”baukje, dennis”] [/miniflickr]

    [miniflickr user_id=”32776803@N08” tags=”baukje, dennis” tag_mode=”all” per_page=”80″] [/miniflickr]

    [miniflickr user_id=”32776803@N08” tags=”baukje, dennis” tag_mode=”any” per_page=”80″] [/miniflickr]

    Am I doing somting wrong?

    Also I would like to use a gallery in my sidebar, is this posible and how?

    Thanks,
    Dennis

22. Kane on April 20th, 2009

    Can I use photo sets as well as tags from flickr?

23. Sippy79 on April 26th, 2009

    Hey there, great plugin so far. Can you tell me if there is an update to use it into the single.php posting images based on the post tags?

    Keep it up.

24. Fraser on May 13th, 2009

    I wondered if there was a way to increase the number of images that the Flickr mini gallery shows. At the moment there seems to be a limit

25. markus on May 23rd, 2009

    is it possible to add the tag directly to a template file?

26. markus on May 23rd, 2009

    i solved the problem with adding it directly to the template file - my code:

    name . ‘,’;
    }
    }
    $flickrtags = get_the_title();
    echo “”;
    ?>

    Thank you very much for the great plugin!

27. Lise on May 26th, 2009

    As Markus, Nigel and Dennisnet, I also want to add the gallery in my sidebar.. Have anyone solved this?

28. markus on June 6th, 2009

    sorry, the code was broken - i try it again?

    $flickrtags = get_the_title();
    echo “”;

    if the code doesn´t work again here the way you can make it easy:
    use the template tag to show your pictures, the open the post, look at the source-code of the post and you will see a div-tag - copy this div-tag to your sidebar and it will show your pictures everywhere!

    kind regards,
    markus

29. Lupiro on June 10th, 2009

    hello how can I do to create sets for photo albums?

    [miniflickr user_id=”39267572@N03” sets=”72157619512171264”] [/miniflickr]????

30. admin on June 16th, 2009

    Sorry but you can’t at the moment the photo.search on flickr API doesn’t have the capability of search photos from a set. But you can use tags and if you put the same tag for the images on a folder, you can do this as a batch process using flickr organizr, it will give what you after (I hope)

31. Brian on August 31st, 2009

    I figured out the Light Box problem. It is a combination of a JQuery conflict problem and the CSS file isn’t linked correctly in the flickr_mini_gallery.php file. The javascript conflict problem would explain why it worked for some and not others. Some have other plugins installed that are causing the conflict. Here is how I fixed it.

    I just hard coded the style sheet in the flick_mini_gallery.php file. You will need to change the URL to your site. The code to change is located around line 45.

    echo ”;

    Here is where I found the fix for the miniflickr.js file. Notice the variable created using the noConflict(). This variable is then used throughout the script insted of $ to prevent confilcts with other js libraries. You can just replace the whole miniflickr.js file with this code.

    http://pastie.org/pastes/559931/

    It should work now. I hope this helps others.

    BTW. Cool plugin. Thanks for developing it.

    Brian

32. Craig on September 3rd, 2009

    Thanks so much for this plugin, it is exactly what I need. I am having just one small problem. My thumbnail images are pushed up right next to each other with no space in between them. I can’t seem to find what file I need to add some kind of space or padding to the thumbnails. any assistance would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks!

33. Alyx on September 25th, 2009

    Is it possible to change the script so that the thumbnails link to the original photo page instead of opening the images in a Lightbox? I have had a look at the scripts but I’m not up with PHP coding, so if anybody can help out that would be most appreciate.

34. Dan Zappone on September 26th, 2009

    I was just introduced to your plugin and think what it does is really pretty cool. However I’d like to point out that by deregistering jQuery you are stomping on a lot of other people’s plugins (3 of mine for example) that enqueue jQuery using that WordPress standard method. I created a couple of hot fixes for myself that fix the problemy and thought I’d share them with you so that you can use the wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); method again.

    If you add these lines to your miniflickr.js file

    At line 2 after initial comment: jQuery(function($){
    —
    Add at end of file: });

    And replace the jquery_lightbox_scripts() function in flickr_mini_gallery.php with this:

    
//add jquery and lightbox
function jquery_lightbox_scripts(){
$path = '/wp-content/plugins/flickr-mini-gallery/js';
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
$opts = mfg_get_options();
$format = $opts['mfg_thumbformat'];
echo '
var theblogurl ="'.get_bloginfo('url').'";
var flickr_mini_gallery_img_format ="'.$format.'";
';
echo '';
wp_enqueue_script('jquerylightbox', $path.'/jquery.lightbox-0.5.js', array('jquery'),'0.5');
wp_enqueue_script('miniflickr', $path.'/miniflickr.js', array('jquery'),'0.1');
}

35. Jas on September 29th, 2009

    To add padding between the photos add the following style element.

    .felickr img, .flickr-mini-gallery img {
    margin:0 5px 5px 0;
    }

    Then insert this code to add the gallery, changing the user_id and tags.

36. Filip on October 6th, 2009

    Hi. Great plugin - but the sorting is waaay out of order for me. It just displays all pics randomly. Any tips?

37. Daddy54 on October 23rd, 2009

    No not google, its the people. ,

38. Jakob Eriksson on October 23rd, 2009

    Hello!

    First of all – very nice plugin!

    I have a few issues though. I was already using the jQuery lightbox on my site but when I activated the “flickr mini gallery” it stopped working.

    The lightbox launches correctly and resizes properly but it gets stuck loading. Any idea what the problem might be?

    I have already tried the solution Brian wrote (Brian on August 31st, 2009)

    Thank you guys in advance. I would really appriciate the help!

    Jakob

39. Marcin on October 30th, 2009

    Hi guys,

    Could anyone help me one more time on setting some padding between photos when the gallery is shown?

    I can’t understand advice given in the post earlier.

    Thanks in advance.
    Marcin

40. felipe on November 12th, 2009

    @Marcin try this class on any css file :

    .flickr-mini-gallery img {
    margin:0 5px 5px 0;
    }

41. Jarl Lyng on November 20th, 2009

    thanx, this is awesome! Nice work!

42. Chris on November 20th, 2009

    For some reason, I can’t get this to work. I installed the plugin as per the instructions and activated it. I have tried using shortcode with varying attributes to test, and all I get is the shortcode displaying as text in the rendered page.

    Ultimately I would love to use this in the page template file itself, but I can’t even get the php code to work.

    This is my first experience w/ Wordpress and this plugin seems perfect for my project. Am I missing something?

    Thanks in advance!
    Chris

43. Liam on December 2nd, 2009

    terrific plugin. Is their a way to increase the size of the images in the slideshow?

44. corporatetoursindia on December 2nd, 2009

    Nice plugin. works perfactly.

45. Jimmy on January 7th, 2010

    I had a problem with this plugin, but it turns out that the problem itself had nothing to do with this plugin. The problem was the Tabbed widgets plugin. When I deactivated it the flickrmini started working again. So try deactivating some of your other plugins.

46. mike on January 14th, 2010

    Did anyone figure out how to change the size of the images? Great plugin.

47. dipfico on January 19th, 2010

    Just what I needed! Thnx

48. Carl on January 26th, 2010

    Great plugin. Works so well. If anyone needs to get the unix time then head over to http://www.unixtimestamp.com/index.php and it will convert the time to unix time.

    Cheers
