Flickr component for easy integration of phpFlickr

You will have access to phpflickr instance in your controllers: $this->flickr, and in your views: $flickr.

It will use the dir app/tmp/cache/flickr for caching

1. Copy phpFlickr to app/vendors/phpflickr/

2. Copy this to app/controllers/components/flickr.php and change the api key to yours (you can get your api key in https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=139987 )

<?php

/**
 * Flickr Component
 * @author RosSoft
 * @license MIT
 * @version 0.1
 */
define(’FLICKR_CACHE_DIR’,CACHE . ‘flickr/’);

class FlickrComponent extends Object
{
    /**
     * Api Key. Change to your own
     * @var string
     * @link http://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.api_keys.html
     */
    var $_api_key=’CHANGE_TO_YOUR_KEY’;

    function startup(&$controller)
    {
        vendor(’phpflickr/phpFlickr’);
   
        //FlickrComponent instance of controller is replaced by a phpFlickr instance
         $controller->flickr =& new phpFlickr($this->_api_key);
         if (!is_dir(FLICKR_CACHE_DIR))
        {
            mkdir(FLICKR_CACHE_DIR,0777);
        }                
         $controller->flickr->enableCache(’fs’, FLICKR_CACHE_DIR);
         $controller->set(’flickr’,$controller->flickr);
    }
}
?>

Note that vendor() is now depracated. It has been replaced by App::import(). Here is the updated code:

‘phpflickr’.DS.’phpFlickr’.DS.’phpFlickr.php’));

//FlickrComponent instance of controller is replaced by a phpFlickr instance
$controller->flickr =& new phpFlickr($this->_api_key);
if (!is_dir(FLICKR_CACHE_DIR))
{
mkdir(FLICKR_CACHE_DIR,0777);
}
$controller->flickr->enableCache(’fs’, FLICKR_CACHE_DIR);
$controller->set(’flickr’,$controller->flickr);
}
}
?>

Looks like that didn’t work. Let’s try this:

http://pastebin.com/f6a78f859

The main line that needs to change is this:

App::import(’Vendor’, ‘phpFlickr’, array(’file’ => ‘phpflickr’.DS.’phpFlickr’.DS.’phpFlickr.php’));

Looks like this has been deleted? Any other places we can find the updated code?

Sorry about that. Let’s try a couple sources this time:

http://pastebin.com/f53e0dcf0
http://trac2.assembla.com/FlickrContestr/browser/trunk/app/controllers/components/flickr.php?rev=21

Like my comment above (number 8) says, this is the main line that needs to be modified: App::import(’Vendor’, ‘phpFlickr’, array(’file’ => ‘phpflickr’.DS.’phpFlickr’.DS.’phpFlickr.php’));
