client wants to add images to gallery page

[casiodan]

Hi guys.

I’m building a website for a friend of mine. Its for a model boat club and they want the members to be able to add images to the gallery section.

I thought the simplest method would be to use flickr or picassa etc but they ideally want the gallery page to be integrated within the site.

Is there a script i can use to pull the images from a flickr gallery into a webpage?

Thanks

Danny

You could let users upload images with Nextgen Gallery. Or if you really want to pull from flickr, I might have a script for that.

I’ll take a look at nextgen. i think they are familiar with flickr which is why i went down that route.

I love jquery, there got to be a way. Nextgen though is pretty good.

Well, you could check out PHPFlickr. It’s a great script

[dhechler]

then use JQuery Fancybox to display them

[casiodan]

ok PHPFlickr looks like the way to go……..just got to work out how to set it up, my head is hurting so far. Any tips?

This is how to pull images from a users timeline
This could go on your page that you want to pull in the images.

require_once("phpFlickr.php");

// Create new phpFlickr object

// get api key from here http://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.api_keys.html

$f = new phpFlickr("PUT YOUR APIKEY HERE");

$f->enableCache(

"db",

"mysql://USERNAME:PASSWORD@MYSQL ADDRESS/DATABASENAME"

);

?>




// Find the NSID of the username inputted via the form

$person = $f->people_findByUsername('FLICKRUSERNAME');



// Get the friendly URL of the user's photos

$photos_url = $f->urls_getUserPhotos($person);



// Get the user's first 36 public photos

$photos = $f->people_getPublicPhotos($person, NULL, NULL, 18);

// Loop through the photos and output the html

foreach ((array)$photos as $photo) {

echo "
buildPhotoURL($photo, "Medium") . ">";

echo "
"src=" . $f->buildPhotoURL($photo, "Square") . " />";

echo "
";

//If it reaches the sixth photo, insert a line break

}

?>

perfect.

is it possible to make that work with galleria? would i just put the script in the div where i would normally just list the images for galleria?

[casiodan]

or just a lightbox would do, galleria isn’t really required with that script

[dhechler]

yeah instead of an opening and closing UL tag, just use

around this script and then use
