Flickr + Highslide Flickr gallery for Drupal, Joomla, and Wordpress

Flickr API key expired

Flickr disabled the API key associated with flickr + highslide due to miss use by some users. No worries though, this is an easy fix. I'll be releasing new version of the plugin which will support the input of your own API key soon. In the mean time follow these steps

1. Browse to http://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply/ and sign up for a API key
2. Locate flickr-highslide.php
3. Search and locate the following line "$apikey =  '7410a0ef9c742bc8175d7930c1fa7022';"
4. Replace the API key in the single quotes with your key.

I.E. if your API key is "1234567789" you would change

$apikey =  '7410a0ef9c742bc8175d7930c1fa7022';

to

$apikey =  '1234567789';

Problem solving guide

Unfortunately I no longer have the time to actively monitor the flickr + highslide website but if you are having a problems below is a guide that should help you resolve your problems.

Firstly read the FAQ located on this website , if that doesn't help follow the guide below

Are you seeing an error?
Determine if its a php error or an error from flickr + highslide. Errors from flickr + highslide start off with "Flickr + Highslide encountered an error". If this is the case, read the error message and make the appropriate changes in the module/plugin settings. If you are seeing a PHP error, try googling the error message. If google doesn't help try reinstalling the module/plugin. If all fails, contact your hosting provider as its most likely a problem with a php configuration on your host.

Are your photos not showing up?
If you are not seeing an error and you are not seeing any photos or the photos that you want to see then there's a problem with the your settings or the flickr api. First, check the module/plugin settings and ensure that everything is configured correctly. If your settings are correct then search through or create a new message of your problem on the flickr api forum located here http://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/

Are the photos displaying but nothing happens when you click on an image?
This is a javascript issue, ensure that all the files for flickr + highslide are installed. You can use tools such as firebug to check to see if the javascript/images/css files are available to the module/plugin. If you are sure that all javascript/images/css files are available to the module/plugin then there might be javascript conflict with another module/plugin. To resolve this problem check the highslide forum , wordpress forum or joomla forums.

Want a new feature?
Due to my busy schedule I no longer have the time to work on flickr + highslide, at least for the next few months. I'll be making flickr + highslide into open source project so that any one can make changes to flickr + highslide so there is plenty of goodness to come, stay tuned.

Joomla update coming soon

Some people have been experiencing problems using mutliple modules on one page. I will be making an update to the joomla module in the coming weeks that should resolve any issues when using multiple modules, stay tuned.
