Hi trent congrats for the new implementations on 2.0 and 2.01, specially the flickr manager button!
But I must say that have some problems with IE, the close button and the background withe rectangle appears on the bottom of the page at the page load, besides a black rectangle appears over the header with id=overlay…
I just unistalled the 2.01 version and got back to 2.0
Would be great to add a feature to jump to a certain page if you have more than 10 pages that’d be very useful!
Alejandro,
Version 2.0.1 fixes the problem with the black overlay and the close buttons appearing at the bottom etc.
There’s an issue with Lightbox and Highslide not working on IE 7 but I was planning on fixing that today or tomorrow if I find the time.
Thanks,
Trent
OK, thanks Trent for your reply.
btw if you need some help with some design stuff with this plugin just let me know.
Thanks
Hi there – I also like the 2.0.1, but I’m having the same issue with the black overly in IE7.
Hi! great plugin but i have a problem when I try upload a picture, i read this: “You do not have permission to upload photos to this stream, you may adjust this in the settings page!”
How i can solve that?, thank you very much
Hey, when I activated the plugin, a black box appeared on the top of my site covering the first post and the header image completely. It disappeared when de-activated. Any ideas? Using Firefox and downloaded latest version from here.
Hello!
In the first place, sorry for my bad English I’m Spanish!
^^ I have made a donation of 5 euros for your great job with this plugin. Really, I can’t live without it.
Since some time ago I’m using the 1.4.0.1 version because works great with my blog. Today I tried to use the new 2.0.1 and all works fine less one thing.
When I try to edit an entry, when I click on an image that’s doesn’t go to the entry. If I’m posting a new entry that works great, but if I’m modifying one doesn’t work. Moreover, I can’t upload any image, the page stays freeze charging forever and ever.
Miguel
Aaaah! I’m using WordPress 2.3.3, by the way.
Mmmmmm, I’m not sure but the problem with the freeze charging when I upload a photo maybe is a fault of Flickr, because I’m using now the 1.4.0.1 version and do the same.
Yes, I’m having this black overlay problem with version 2.0.1 too.
Hi!
2.0.2 works great!!
Fixed the problems that I mentioned.
Only one problem still:
Doesn’t work: “Default viewer size:” to Original size.
In the Admin Legacy Panel that options doesn’t appear and if in Flickr Options I activate “Default Viewer Size: Original” then the image shows the Small Size.
Thanks for all!
Hi Trent – New version working very well for me, many thanks for your work!
Thanks for the amazing plugin! It is great being able to link to albums straight from flickr and view them within my blog
The only glitch I’ve found is that I can’t set image size to square and have the viewer size as large. The viewer automatically scales back down to medium. The only way around this that I’ve found is making the image size large. This doesn’t look pretty though.
Any comments/suggestions on how to fix this would be great! Thanks again!
Hi just want to say I like the plug in. I just have 2 questions. When I ad a set, is there any way to have it so that I have one picture rather than little thumbnails in my set. Also, if I want to place single images any way to have an option not to link to anything? I know I can just cut out the a href tag. Was wondering about any automatic options. thanks again
Nico.
The images in the pop-up flickr manager window aren’t now clickable for me.. any ideas what it could be?
Good Script but conflict with lightroom+slickr
Hope an update
See ya, good work
Hi This is a great plugin and works very well. I am currently in the process of moving my static site to WP.. i am using this plugin there. I have an issue with the positioning of the flickr image in the lightbox preview.. The image has padding on the left and top but the right side is cut off by some pixels. Do you have some fix for this.
Hi. Great plugin so far, really enjoying it. Just have one problem… where do the files go when you upload using the Flickr Manager on the ‘write a post’ page from WordPress? We seem to loose then as they’re not ending up in our Flickr stream.
Thanks.
The plug in is awesome! I am using 2.0.2 and have the same problem like comment#12. I hope next update you will ad more js viewer though …like multibox (http://www.phatfusion.net/multibox/) may be?
Thank you for great work.
I’ve been looking around for a plugin like this for who knows how long!
Exactly what I was after but I would like to make a suggestion. Would it be possible to automatically add the link to the image page in the caption of the LightBox script?
This is because I don’t show all my images of a set just highlights but if a person was to click on the image, they would be able to see a link to the rest of the set/or just a link to the image page so they can comment.
This might be a bit confusing, I just typed whatever came to mind & didn’t go over it.
Scrap my previous comment. I’ll simplify it.
I’ve been looking around for a plugin like this for who knows how long!
Exactly what I was after but I would like to make a suggestion. Would it be possible to add a “View this image in Flickr” link to the caption of each image? Also would it be possible to grab the description/title of the image from Flickr & then add it to the caption in LightBox as well?
Is it possible to automatically add a whole Flickr set to a wordpress post? Other than individually clicking each photo in turn in the pop-up window?
Hi!
Your plugin seems very promising, but I cant download it
When clicking on the link, it takes me to a blank page of your blog
(showing the download url in the browser address box), I tried to download using ‘save link destination’ but I get an invalid file 
Please, can you fix it?
Hi trent, really nice to find the chance to choose between highslide and lightbox. But I’m not able to use lightbox properly (when I click on a thumb I get redirected to flickr, I had set correcty the Flickr manager options) so this could be an issue with the jquery lightbox in new version (2.0.2)
Is there a possibility to setup highslide in any way?
Thanks and have a nice weekend
Thank you so much for your plugin. It works awesome for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
~S
I’ve been using the Highslide option & I find it wonderful. There is an issue when I have a set of images & continue to move to the previous & next image until it just leaves a “Loading.” image on the thumbnail. There doesn’t seem to be that issue with the original Highslide JS.
Also how would you insert the controlbar to an image like the second example on the Highslide homepage?
nice plugin…..waiting for the latest version with new features to be updated
Great Plugin! Thank you so much, awesome job!
Hi.
nice work. nice plugin. like the way you did everything except from the lightbox-stuff.
I have som other flickr-integration in my blogg and so i’ve activated the standard lightbox-2 -plugin. it messes that up..
i wish it could be like:
i don’t know if i’m asking for documentation on the w
Hi. man, sorry. posted to early.
i wish it could be like:
i don’t know if i’m asking for documentation on the wrapping-stuff OR just different way of wrapping as standard and also to install and configure the lightbox ourselves.. but, yeah.
my other light-box-thing is messed up in Safari but works in Opera/Fx/etc when using highslide. it’s all messed up if using your implemented light-box-plugin.
do you get what i’m trying to say/ask/tell you?
Love the plugin, it’s sped up my blogging no end.
I have a few problems however:
The new button system doesn’t save my settings, such as photo size, JS size, and set I’m looking at.
So for every photo I insert, I have to select all those options again, which is slower than if it would save them, or even stay open while I navigate round my text and add extra photos.
Also, I can’t seem to find a way in the new system of how to page through sets, I just see the first five images. Sadly the only way around this issue I can find is for me to go back and use the older system.
Is it possible to add other flickr account’s pictures or search for the pictures of a certain user.
Great Plugin….
Is there any way to display the images in the lightbox view larger than “large” – it seems the large setting doesn’t let the pictures grow larger than 500 pixels (maximum dimension)?
I am wondering if there is any I might be able to tweak what “large” is.
Hello,
I want to thank you for this great plugin! I guess my favourite aspect of it is that how it is constantly being updated and being developed on.
I’m working on a club website where different people would be uploading alot of photos in all kinds of categories, so I’ll be most grateful if you’ll consider adding more functionality to the upload component, for example multiple-images uploading, uploading to a set, etc. A way to manage photos by set is greatly appreciated too.
Once again, thanks!
If you add something like this, you can include a link to the original Flickr page in the caption (nice if your Lightbox size is Medium but a large image is available on Flickr).
$(‘a[@rel*=flickr-mgr’)).each(function() {
$(this).attr(‘title’,$(this).attr(‘title’) + ‘View on Flickr‘);
}
This is a great plugin.
Whoops, WordPress messed that up a little.
$(this).attr(‘title’,$(this).attr(‘title’) + ‘<a href=”‘ + $(this).attr(‘href’) + ‘”>View on Flickr</a>’);
Ok – responding to my own comment – I found that if I link the pictures in as a SET the large size in lightbox ends up being a little smaller (porbably something about using a flickr set as a resource – don’t know).
If I just select the individual pictures rather than a set and choose lightbox/large when adding them to the blog the result is a picture that has a larger lightbox presentation than when you pick the same pictures as a set and choose large (which ends up being the smaller 500px presentation).
I actually prefer linking them in individually rather than as a set anyways so im all good – thanks!
This is a terrific plugin… except it doesn’t play well with Events Calendar (or the other way around, I don’t know which).
Info:
WP 2.5.1
PHP 5.2.5
Events Calendar 6.4
Flickr Manager 2.0.2
I had Events Calendar installed and running fine before installing Flickr Manager. As soon as I activated FM, the calendar in my sidebar began malfunctioning (event dates disappear, previous/next month links disappear). I deactivated FM, and the calendar begins working properly once more.
FM seems to work fine on the other hand.
I sure wish I could use both of these plugins at the same time for certain sites. Thanks…
Im using the events calendar for wordpress plugin by http://www.lukehowell.com/ and when I upload the flickr magaer plugin to my wordpress the calendar events and links to navigate the month do not show up.
If I deactivate this plugin my calendar works just fine. I dont know exactly what is wrong Im kinda new to the whole wordpress/plugin thing
But id like it to be fixed so I can use both plugins without having to disable yours after I finish posting flickr image from my post in wordpress
Wow. This is awesome.
Only two suggestions: 1) Allow whole sets to be posted (already mentioned) and 2) Allow viewers to scan to the “next” image within a post while in the lightbox view.
I had WFM 2.02 activitated in a WP 2.51 / K2 theme / GeoPress environment and WFM was killing my GeoPress maps in FF and IE – had to disable it for now – maybe a CSS thing? – thanks
Anyone knows if that plugins works with WP 2.6? It’s a essential plugin for my blog of WordPress. Anyone have tested it?
very cool plugin! Thanks a lot. Three things though – one, there’s an error in the manager window in WP 2.6 -
“Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, ‘media_admin_css’ was given in …wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 311″.
Two, the manager windows doesn’t stay open when the checkbox is unchecked. Would it be possible to either fix this or allow shift click selections?
Three, the list of albums only includes albums with at least one public photo.
Thanks again!
Tobias
Hi, ty for the plugin, on the popup window to select and upload images I get this warning.
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘media_admin_css’ was given in /homefolder/blah/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 311
Im using wordpress 2.6
It still works with the warning, I’m not sure why I get this warning though. I’ll have to look into it.
Sorry all, I’ve been MIA for the last couple of months, working on a large project for work.
Version 2.0.3 should fix the compatibility issues you’ve been having with other plugins. As well as being WordPress 2.6 compatible!
Trent – Works fine now with 2.6, thanks for the update…
Matt
I had lightbox 2 installed before going to the flickr manager and now have a problem is using the lightbox with flickr manager(the highslide works perfectly): it opens the image on another page.
Could you please give me an idea on how to make things work for the flickr manager, please.
Trent,
First thing, great plug-in. I’ve been using it for a few months and it’s great, I’ve had no problems with it until just now when I updated it to 2.0.4. When the frame opens and I select Medium for my image size all the pictures overlap each other and none are clickable. I’m running the latest of WordPress 2.6.
Any suggestions?
Sorry, should have said I’m using IE 7.
