Flickr Plugin Added

Well, I’m going for two at this point. I added the flickrRSS plugin from Eightface, which is pretty slick. The only downside was that my Del.icio.us plugin was making for some interference (Post 21) with the way WordPress was parsing data. A small fix was in order, which Pete pointed out. In del.icio.us.php, look for:

require_once($magpie_install_dir . ‘/rss_fetch.inc’);

and replace it with:

include_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss-functions.php’);

Now both of the plugins will work with no problems! :)

    If you end up with problems with the del.icio.us plugin, I’ve had great success with this one.

    Also, how come you do not use one of the Flickr-supplied tools for adding photos to your site?

    Thanks Rob!!

    I saw that one while doing my Google search but didn’t know how good it was. So far, it has been treating me well, but I don’t like the fact that I have to have a separate cache folder, which the one you pointed out doesn’t need. Magpie is now integrated into the RSS capabilities of WordPress, so I am using that, but I think some of the Magpie script tie-in is causing some issues. It intermittently only pulls in a few feeds and not the predefined number. I may give the one pointed out a shot, since it doesn’t use cache.

    My main reason for not using Flickr supplied badges is that they are not semantic.  They use JavaScript to call in the images and styles.

    What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
    front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
    a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
    Thanks.

    Hey Roy,

    Wish I could help you but my knowledge of PHP is limited at best. I know enough to be dangerous. :) I would suggest hitting up the WordPress Plug-In repository or the Wiki.
