Hi Dave,
I am using this plugin to awesomely retrieve photos based on tags that the client enters in a “More Fields plugin” box when she writes a post. It has been working great for the most part.

you can see it in action at http://writershouses.com/walden-pond

There is one thing I want to be able to do, though. If there was an argument that would return the results in an array, rather than display them, then I could use php count to not display the extra formatting that looks awkward when there is are no flickr images returned. Maybe there is a way already but my php skills are very limited.

you can see what it looks like with no results here:

something like ‘return’ => ‘array’

Thanks for your hard work!

This Plugin is not working for me, can you help me out, please? Nothing shows up. When I tell the plugin to show the titles, that works…..but sadly, no images.

Hi Steve,

I’m currently writing something pretty similar to what you’re looking for. It’ll cache an xml file of results and then read through the xml file creating an array to then manipulate.

If you can wait a week or two I might create a separate plugin.

Is there an easy way of getting images but not displaying them immediately.

What I weant to do is

1) Fetch but not display

get_flickrAPI(array(‘num_items’ => 20,
… other params set as required

2) Then step through the array one at a time outputting them the way I want
e.g. with a line break after every third (or whatever) item
Basically I want to be able to do more than appears to be possible with ‘html’ => which acts on very image.
