   Awesome plugin! Anyway I can add a custom size for the photos to appear or does it only offer what flickr allows you to use? I’d like to make a size that is between thumbnail and medium. Thanks!

   I followed your installation instructions but when I went to “presentation” there was no tab that said “sidebar widgets”
   What did I do wrong?

5. on 29 Jan 2007 at 10:41 pm5SporTech Matter » New Blog Feature — UserOnline and Flickr Badge Widget

   [...] Once again the Matter is Pimping Your Blog! I have implemented 2 new plugins and removed an older one which I found was putting some massive strain on my database. So I got rid of the suspect Exec-PHP script and added some new eye candy. On the top right you can obviously see the new Random Sportshot applet which will load random images pulled from my Flickr account. This replaces the Weekly Sportshot applet to keep it more randomized. Let me know how you like it! You can grab yours from Ben’s Website. More on the plugin… This is plugin I wrote for the Widget Sidebar in WordPress. It will display your flickr photos in your blog’s sidebar. It’s basically a wrapper round the badge functionality that flickr provide and publish. I’ve ported this from the Joomla module I wrote ages ago, it took no time at all and it’s working fine (see over on the right – my sad photos) – let me know if you run into any problems using it. [...]

   Hi Dennis, great widget. I too am wondering if there is a way to add a custom output size for the photos? Cheers.

7. on 30 Jan 2007 at 5:08 am7Victor

   Ben,

   Is it possible to modify the plugin to use the current category as the Flickr tag to search for?

   Maybe use the Wordpress codex of “if (is_category())” and “echo single_cat_title()” to automatically adjust the tag based on the category.

   The home page could default on the tag that is added in the options.

8. on 02 Feb 2007 at 6:56 pm8Jeff

   Working, but it’s calling from my entire Flickr collection, rather than the tag I put in… How to fix?

9. on 08 Feb 2007 at 5:52 am9adam

   this looks like a great idea, and certainly less technical than flickrrss.

   just a minor thing- wordpress.com is a hosted blogging site, wordpress.org is the software that this plugin connects to.

    For any of you having problems and not seeing a “Sidebar Widgets” tab – this is because you haven’t installed that plugin! Please read the requirements, my plugin is a sub-plugin of the widget sidbar, get that working then install my plugin.

    thx in advance..

16. on 18 Feb 2007 at 10:58 am16Gary

    Thanks for making this widget. I was browsing some other blogs and occassionally I’d run across sites that had some photos from flickr on them and I was wondering how they did it. Now I know, and I must say it adds a nice touch to a blog.

17. on 21 Feb 2007 at 2:05 pm17Andrew Pitchford

    Hi Ben,
    Installed and works great when I just have it set to ‘Specific User’ when I change it to ‘Specific User (Tag)’ and put in the word ‘blog’ which is one of my tags it doesn’t work – I get a blank profile with just the ‘Flickr’ logo below.

    Any ideas,

    Hi!

    Nice plugin. Thanks. However, I am having precisely the same problem as mention above by Andrew. It shows nothing if I try to use “specific user (tag)” with the tag being “blog” (or anything else, for that matter). When I change it back to just “specific user,” this seems to work fine. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

20. on 26 Feb 2007 at 6:52 pm20Ben Coleman

    To the guys with tag problems.
    Are you sure you have photos tagged in flickr with the tag you enter in the config??

    I’ve changed my config to only show my photos tagged with the word ‘monkey’ (and as you can see from my page – it’s working) if I enter something in there like ’speedboat’ it shows nothing as I have no photo’s tagged on flickr with the word speedboat.

22. on 28 Feb 2007 at 5:40 am22Nate Roberts

    Yes, first I added the tag ‘blog’ to the pictures in flickr I wanted to show up and typed ‘blog’ as the (tag) word in the plugin. When that didn’t work, I tried the word ’site’ as a tag and changed the (tag) designation in the plugin to ’site’, but that didn’t work either. My site = nathanandheather.net – right now I just have all my pictures coming up (else I would have none). Thanks!

23. on 28 Feb 2007 at 3:10 pm23Ben Coleman

    Nate,
    I have just tried it with your flickr ID and a tag of “train” it works fine, it shows one photo. It appears (from looking at your flickr page) you only have 1 photo with any tags applied.

    Ben,

    I tried the “train” tag and got the same results that you did. Strange. Actually I have many tags on my pictures (in all, 17 have “train” as a tag). I’m not sure what you mean when you say “It appears (from looking at your flickr page) you only have 1 photo with any tags applied.” Can you not see the other tags on my photos? Am I missing something?

    Guys, I’ve given up on flickr as I’m now using Google’s Picasa Web Albums.

    If you want a square layout I suggest you go to flickr’s badge generation page (remember my widget is nothing more than a wrapper round this) here:
    http://www.flickr.com/badge.gne
    and create a Flash badge. Then cut ‘n’ paste the resulting HTML code into a text widget. Bingo

    This seems to be broken in Wordpress 2.3. The most obvious problem is that the widget text appears above the dashboard on all pages in the wp-admin panel. Anyone else using this with 2.3 (tested on Firefox).

74. on 24 Oct 2007 at 8:07 am74Jeremy

    Works fine for me on 2.3. I do, however, have a question:

    Is it possible to have more than one instance of the widget. I have two sidebars and I’d like the widget in both, with different parameters.

    Can I do that, and if so, how?

    I just install your really nice plugin and I wonder if it is possible to change the tumbnails’ size ? In fact, if I display, in my sidebar, the thumbnail, it’s to little and if I choose to display “medium”, it’s to large for my sidebar.

    Where can I ajsut the size of the displayed pic ?

    Many thanks in advance and bravo for your work.

    I have to say though…the tag sort isn’t working for me either. I tried several different tags that I know I have and it didn’t work. I’ll keep trying! If a tag is two words, do you put it in quotes like you can do in Flickr? That’s how I do my multiple word tags. I tried single word tags too and didn’t get results.

    Thanks so much! This is so wonderful! I love how the medium size fits perfectly into my sidebar!

    Fabulous!
