If your script is failing off the bat, as evidenced by the

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

message, likely you are trying to use your Flickr account name instead of your Flickr id.

you could fish around for it on Flickr, or just use this handy utility: http://idgettr.com/

Adam, thanks for the slick script!

I was interested in the questions asked above:
Hi, Thank for the great tutorial. I easily implemented the code to show only one set. What I’m trying to accomplish now is to show the list of sets with only the primary photo of each set (instead of every picture in the set), is that possible?

but I don’t see an answer to it?

HI Adam, Great tutorial! I have the gallery working correctly live online, but have not been able to get the images to display correctly in WAMP Server’s localhost. Instead, small symbold appear where the photos should be. Do you have any thoughts on what may be preventing this from displaying correctly in WAMP? Thanks again for the tutorial and any insight you might have!

@Adam

Can it show me as doing? Because, I am not managing to do to work. I am not a programmer, I only followed what you described above. If it can help me, I will be thankful!

@Anik – for the comments, you’ll need to use comments_getList() to get a list of comments from each photo. Unfortunately the comments do not get returned with photosets_getPhotos() so you’ll need to use the variable $photo from the code above to grab and return comments_getList($photo) and cycle through the comments to display however many you want.

@Alturiak

You’ll need to use the function specific for retrieving group pool photos which is pools_getPhotos(), similar to how we use the above function to retrieve photos from user sets.

For more info you can check out the API for group pools here:

Hey Murtaza – I’m not sure without seeing the code. As far as I know everything above is still working. Perhaps if you copy and pasted some of the code that the formatting didn’t follow correctly (can happen with quotes and the like).

Be sure you’re including the library as well. Sorry I can’t be much more help.
