I commented out the line and got things more or less working. It still displays the information regarding shutter speed, flash, etc. What does that one line control?

The exif_read_data() error you are getting would seem to be because your installation of PHP doesn’t support the EXIF functions. You could always look at the output of your phpinfo() function to see whether EXIF is turned on in your installation of PHP. You could also simply comment out line 260 and skip the EXIF functions altogether.

I don’t use WP, so I just put “< ?php flickr_show_photos($_GET['album'], $_GET['photo']); ?>” into a test.php file and accessed that via my browser.

I assume I’m missing something really obvious here?

Any idea what I’m missing that could be causing that error?

That error means you aren’t logging into Flickr successfully. Double check the email and password you signed up for Flickr with.

And here is the response after passing through the parser:
array (
'rsp' =>
array (
'err' =>
array (
'code' => '1',
'msg' => 'User not found',
),
),
)


problem..?

This could probably be due to one of two problems:

1. allow_url_fopen could be disabled. Make a new .php file and just put the following in it:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
This will show you all your PHP settings. Just search for allow_url_fopen. It must be set to “On” for the script to work. Of course there is probably a way around it by writing a hack to connect to Flickr through a socket connection, but that would be up to you to write. The easiest way would be just to get allow_url_fopen turned on.

2. flickr-cache could have the wrong permissions set. It must be writable by the webserver. Most people just set their permissions to 777 (which is pretty permiscuous, but it is definitely writable by the webserver).

Also, you should probably be running version 0.6 of the plugin. It fixes a potential security risk.
