If it is not currently in the library already then you are out of luck. I haven’t touched it in probably 3 years. I don’t know of any others as I’m no longer in the php community.

How can I show my favorite photo list? I mean, how should I modify the code to get it?

If this class is not supported, could you recommend a class? Thanks!

@Craig – Haven’t written php in several years. Sorry. I don’t know that I ever really tested the file system cache that much. Just use the db cache. I know it works as that is what I typically used.

John – thanks for the awesome class!

Question – I have it set to use enableFSCache, but each cache file is being overwritten by any subsequent lookups. I have my cache set to expire at 3600 seconds.

Example –

UserA ->Cachefile01
UserB ->deletes Cachefile01 and writes Cachefile02
UserA -> deletes Cachefile02 and writes Cachefile03

Any ideas on why it isn’t keeping the individual cache files?

Thanks!

@Jesse – DB Caching doesn’t improve performance it just keeps you from getting banned by flickr for hitting their api too much.

I love it. See http://listenlight.net/dev/16/magi for a basic template planned for issue 16 at http://listenlight.net. My only question is on the db cacheing.. how does it improve performance? The tags I query are mainly common, e.g., colorful, summer, beach, flowers, etc., the photos of which are likely to update very quickly at flickr. With that in mind, I pass a random number for the page result. Any comments welcome.

Also, I see your latest blog entry on your having left a regular job for Wild West 2.0

The following is compulsory :-)

Nice work! a lot more simple to use than others!
Some suggestions to the documentation:

Tell user that they will nead a Mysql database with username and password.
Eg. at “Get group info”
/* Change DB_HOST to localhost or the host address to your MySQL database server
Change DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD to your MySQL login values. Create a empty database and change DB_NAME to the database name
*/
$flickr->enableDBCache(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

Tell the users how to get the ID that is neaded to seache for pictures.
eg.
/* 89776093@N00 is an example ID for a group. You will find the group ID at the feed link on the group pages (www.flickr.com)
*/
$group_info = $flickr->getGroupInfo(‘89776093@N00′);
52239735206@N01

Looks like a solid piece of work, and what a lovely documentation site! Looks like I’m gonna be addicted to this one for a while…

@Jayson – I would expect the plugin should be done in a few weeks. I know that’s general, but I have quite a few ideas that I am working on right now. Thanks for the nice comments.

Great site! Awesome layout, just awesome. When can we expect the plugin? Newbs like me need all the help we can get.
