[RESOLVED] Flickr gallery module not recognizing tags or sets

Flickr gallery module not recognizing tags or sets

Stitchy 30 Oct 2008 22:08

I just set up a gallery using the Flickr gallery module, and things were working fine and dandy until a few minutes ago.

Now, if I set a gallery to display certain tags (in fact, if I set it to display images by tags at all,) it states there are no images to display, and I get an empty gallery. The same thing goes if I try to have it display images from any set. If I just set it to display images from my username, all of the images in my gallery will show up without a hitch.

I was wondering if anyone else who uses the Flickr gallery module is having this problem on their wiki? It might just be a Flickr related problem, instead of a Wikidot one, but I wanted to make sure. My frustration after finally completing and heavily organizing this gallery is quite high at this point. Thanks for your help.

It only takes a couple of seconds to click on the username and call up the site from the profile. But providing a link is always helpful particularly using the [* ] syntax so it opens in a new page/tab, particularly if a user has more than one site which of course is quite common.

The problem here is that the site is private so we can't see what the issue is.

Very sorry guys, I should have taken that into account. We're very private about this wiki, but I have temporarily made it viewable to non-members, and pages can be edited by other Wikidot members. So, maybe someone can get to the root of the problem.

I'm guessing the problem, in fact, lies with my Flickr account. I found I can use the userName and tag attributes with other usernames without any problems.

Thank you for your help!

Sorry, I can see what you mean - could be the userName is not working together with tags?

If I delete your username in the taged blocks it works…but gives back a lot of "foreign" pics…

you should change your tags and use only

[[tab Alone]]
[[module FlickrGallery tags="rb,alone" tagMode="all" perPage="14"]]
[[/tab]]

this works!

Thanks, Helmuti! It seems that the problem actually fixed itself, and now Wikidot is recognizing both tags and my account name. My guess is that it was just some kind of glitch, or something to do with my account.

Thanks everyone for their time and patience! Much appreciated!
