Better example code

Dan — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 03:37:34 +0000

I've fixed a few small bugs in the example code that was caused by the upgrade to the latest version of phpFlickr (yes, I realize that I should know about those problems better than anyone else). I've also whipped up a better way to get the nicely highlighted syntax so that the WordPress visual editor can't mess it up. Enjoy!

Shiny new theme and pages that work

Dan — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:50:16 +0000

A few days ago, I moved this site off of my old hosting (finally) and inadvertently broke a few pages. Upon investigating, I realized that WordPress was hopelessly out of date and the theme was old and crusty as I haven't checked if there was an upgrade for that either. Now that I'm over on my new server, I have a script that keeps WordPress up to date (and secure), but I had to work out which plugins were breaking stuff.

I've decided to try out Crowd Favorite's Carrington theme, which I may tweak in the upcoming weeks, but for now, it works fine for my needs. Everything should work now.

I'll be pushing out an update for phpFlickr in the next day or two to support the new API methods.

Upgrade and Cleanup

Dan — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 15:36:12 +0000

I just upgraded this site to WordPress 2.1 and I repaired the documentation and forums. Please report any further problems you have with the website via my contact form. Because my policy of letting people sign up willy nilly had been abused, I have restricted registration now. If you would like to write an article about phpFlickr or about an application using phpFlickr, please contact me and I'll send you login information. To clean up the system, I deleted all user accounts who never wrote a legitimate post.

Hopefully I will have a new version of phpFlickr out some time next week to bring a couple of new API methods into the fold.

New, shinier server

I've just transferred phpFlickr.com to a new server. This is a dedicated server and should prove to be much more stable than the hosted virtual server I was using.

WordPress 2.0 Upgrade

Dan — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 20:45:34 +0000

I've just upgraded to WordPress 2.0. I seem to be having problems with my examples and documentation. I'll try to work that out as soon as possible. Other than that, it's working great.

Update: I've got the examples back up and running. I don't have the docs up yet. Most of the information in there is currently in the readme file that comes with the distribution file.

New forums

I've just created some shiny new forums for the phpFlickr website. They're running the spiffy Lussumo Vanilla project. Check it out and be amazed…or at least join up and say hi.

New links

Dan — Sun, 31 Jul 2005 01:55:28 +0000

I've added a new section of links over on the sidebar. I'm going to start posting links to applications that use the phpFlickr class. The first one is a script to generate a tag cloud based on a group of photos by Dan Steingart and it has various settings and options. Go check it out from the link on the sidebar. If you've got an app that you made with my class, I'd be happy to link to it. I'm also just curious about what people are doing with it, so just leave a comment on this post or drop me an email at dancoulter and then that funny "at" symbol and then gmail.com. If you can figure that code out, you'll win a cookie.
