Photos Flickr 0.6

My WordPress plugin, Photos Flickr, now supports sets. I spent a little time crafting up a nice default template. I also set up a “demo blog” to give an online demonstration of the new default template.

I had planned to “ship” this version last Friday, but it was a little more adventure than I had anticipated.

Photos Flickr is an early version of a plugin that I am developing for WordPress blog software to display a user’s Flickr album within their blog. The result? Someone with a WordPress blog can now have a basic interface to let readers view their Flickr images, using their own web site and design.

Photos Flickr makes use of Dan Coulter‘s PHPFlickr library, which in turn accesses the Flickr API.

What is New? What Has Changed?

• New: Added rudimentary support for sets.
• Changed: Fixed the tag-listing function to drop the last comma.
• Changed: A bunch of internal work for functions to understand the current “context” appropriately when navigating through a photostream, versus a set …
• New: Added photos_photoset_title() and photos_photoset_description()
• Changed: is_photo() returns current photo ID.
• New: Added photos_photo_date_taken()–support date format manipulation.
• New: photos_photo_tag_list() and photos_photo_photoset_list() return lists of tags and photosets for a photo.
• Changed: Functions photos_photo_(next|prev)_(href|url|title) wrap around new private photos_private_getContext().
• New: New functions photos_photoset_(next|prev)_(href|url|title) wrap around new private photos_private_getContext().
• Changed: Disabled ALT and TITLE attributes on image links due to not-escaping-quotes issues.
• Changed: Renamed photos_index() to photos_photo_index() and
  photos_pageindex() to photos_photo_pageindex() with stub functions for
  backwards-compatibility.
• Added: New is_index() returns photo, tag, or photoset to tell us what index has been requested.
• New: Added photos_photoset_index() function to display a “pretty” index of photosets.
• New: Added photos_photo_index_href() and photos_photoset_index_href() functions to refer to photo index and photoset index pages.

There is plenty more work to make this an awesome plugin. You can track plans and progress on my “projects” page.
