Could you please elaborate on how you got flickr working with your blog? ;)

Sure :-)

I am using 1.9.3 of b2evolution and the following settings in Flickr:

Blog Type/Service:  	MetaWeblogAPI
Endpoint: 	http://www.urspringer.de/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php
Your Username: 	<my b2evolution username>
Your Password: 	<my b2evolution password>
The Blog URL: 	http://www.urspringer.de/index.php
Blog Label: 	Urs-o-Log

I am using the following (minimal) layout in Flickr:

<a href="{photo_url}" title="photo sharing"><img src="{photo_src_m}" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a>
<p>{description}</p>

In conf\hacks.php I added the line

$default_category=70;

to make sure my Flickr posts are posted to category with the ID=70.

That is basically all I did and it is working. The only thing which is not working is enabling comments for my posts. Comments are all disabled ...

Maybe there is some default setting for comments also which I can include in hhacks.php?

Hmmmm, I would try to do it on my blog, but then I noticed I don't have such file called hacks.php :-/ I wonder why...

hacks.php is a left over, an archaic reference to something that existed in b2. If you want to use a hacks.php, create an empty text file, name it hacks.php and upload it.

If its there, b2evo will use it - its been that way since 0.8.9

And then just add the following line to it?

$default_category=70;

Is it correct?

Yes, that is what I have done.

P.S. I just saw I posted this in the wrong forum... I wanted to post that in the Support forum initially.... Anybody out there who is able to move this thread to the right forum? Thanks.

So damn weird, I try to set up flickr and it keeps saying that the following endpoint I entered was not correct.:

http://nando.myacen.com/blog/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php

How come?

Hm, sorry. I guess my fault: Although in the properties in my profile "Metaweblog API" is displayed, I did NOT choose "Metaweblog API enabled Blog" but I did in fact choose "Wordpress Blog".

It seems to be a difference :-)

I've tried this too, with no success :(

Hm, I just tried both possibilities and I get your error when using Metaweblog API but it works for me when using Wordpress.

What version of b2evolution are you using?

I am using 1.9.3 and it did NOT work with the version before I was using (0.9.x).

P.S. You are absolutely sure that your user and password are correct, I assume?

Version 1.9.3 and yes, username and pw are correct :-/

Hm. No real idea....

I only can see that if I call the xmlsrv.php via a browser on my site and compare the output with your site than I can see a different error message:

My site:

<name>faultCode</name>
−
	<value>
<int>103</int>
</value>
</member>
−
	<member>
<name>faultString</name>
−
	<value>
<string>XML error: no element found at line 1</string>

Your site:

<name>faultCode</name>
−
	<value>
<int>105</int>
</value>
</member>
−
	<member>
<name>faultString</name>
−
	<value>
<string>XML error: Invalid document end at line 1</string>

Do you have the right blog as the default blog configured?

Do you get a list of your blogs in Flickr to choose from?

Yes

No, just an error message.

Sorry, than I have no more idea :(

Don't worry... I've been trying to put flickr on the blog for such a long time, that I don't even care anymore :(

Hi there. I'm having the same troubles. I've set up Flickr the same as above. Each of my blogs show up in a list. When I do the test post from Flirkc I get an error message "The test post to General failed. Maybe your username and password were wrong?" I've double (triple, etc) checked and my username and password are fine.

On the blog there's an empty post every time I try to test post from Flickr.

In conf\hacks.php I added the line

$default_category=70;

to make sure my Flickr posts are posted to category with the ID=70.

That is basically all I did and it is working. The only thing which is not working is enabling comments for my posts. Comments are all disabled ...

Maybe there is some default setting for comments also which I can include in hhacks.php?

I've added hacks.php with the above and at that point Flickr told me that the endpoint http://charlesfrench.com/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php was not valid. Removing conf/hacks.php again had the api appearing to work until the test post as I've outlined above. Anyone can help please?

Well, I just tried this, and am getting partial success.

I can successfully send a test post to my blog, but when I try to actually blog a photo from flickr, the end result is a blank post - no data is entered.

I'm running 1.9.2 of b2evo.

Okay, I have just managed some more success,

Using the Blogger API instead of the MetaWebLog I can now post photos. The title isn't coming across yet.

Any thoughts?
