I’ve been trying to use Magpie to extract only photos from my Flickr RSS feed, but the only result that works is the description variable which includes text and links. I’m trying to understand if this is a limitation of the Flickr RSS 2.0 feed, or if I am overlooking something in Magpie. I tried using the image_url variable with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

You might want to try the Flickr Tools plugin.

The flickr RSS feed does not provide Magpie easy access to just the image’s url.

Anybody knows if this Flickr plugin allows to parse Flickr images direct from the publish post control panel, or does it have to be styled manualy inside the template?

I don’t think this plugin lets you get to the Flickr images from posts, only from templates

Andrew,

What about coding a similar EE Flickr plugin as TanTan Flickr for Wordpress?  but SEO friendly…

Would it be some major coding project?

What about a EE version of execPhp? even harder?

I’ve been considering writing a Flickr import/integration plugin but I’m not 100% sure what it should do yet…

What features in particular would you like? (I’m making no promises, though… )

Well Andrew, perhaps the easiest and quickest is for you to download a copy of Wordpress, TanTanFlickr, and whilst you’re at it exec php. It will take you literally 5 minutes.

When you see TanTanFlickr, you’ll understand…real neat and handy little app… you’re images scroll allowing you to search by tag, select them, choose 4 different display sizes… pls take a look

I’ve seen other threads about Wordpress plugins being used and customised to work with EE. Wordpress behaves in some way similarly to EE… so you’ll be able to take a look at the php

I use execphp to parse php straight out of the regular publish form, together with Simplepie and my del.ico.us posts…very very quick and handy.

THe aim is to have those same tools, but working on the more stable and robust EE… a Dream !
