Flickr issue with Photonic Block

    I am having troubling getting a Flickr Photoset setup with the Add Block menu method. I am building a new site using a twentynineteen child theme derivative.

    I am choosing “Photos from an Album/Photoset” and “Current user” I have the backdoor authentication, tokens and Flickr NSID setup.

    I get the message: “No data was returned for the user you provided. Please verify that the user has the content you are looking for.”

    I checked out this issue that someone had with Google Photos:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/no-data-returned-2/

    I then went and tried the short-code option and that worked with no issues.

    I would really like to use the Add Block method as I think that will be more user friendly when adding to by website.

    Any suggestions on what I may have done incorrectly? Any other info you need?

    Thank you!

    What is the user you provided?

    Current user, my NSID from Flickr. I used your helper to find it and verified it on the Flickr website.

    Right, but is there any chance you can provide the actual ID to me here? I would like to try it out at my end and see what is going on.

    Note that you have another option if this is not working – you can try selecting “Another user” and pass your regular user id (not your NSID).

    BTW, do ensure that you have no trailing spaces in the user id option.

    My Id is: 95232603@N04
    I tried the Another user with my regular user id and had the same problem.
    I verified that I have not trailing spaces.

    I am trying to get private albums. Is there some reason the short-code would work for this and the Block will not?

    Thanks!

    I am trying to get private albums

    … And that is why it is not working! It looks like I missed putting in the authentication module in the interface for Flickr (it exists for all other providers though).

    Is there some reason the short-code would work for this and the Block will not?

    Actually the difference is not between the code for the block and shortcode, but rather between the back-end interface and the front-end display. You could create a shortcode too by the same interface; the interface checks if you are using Gutenberg or the Classic Editor and creates a block or a shortcode accordingly.

    The authentication for the front-end has worked for a long time, but the interactive interface in the back-end is something that I provided a lot more recently (in October last year) because the traditional interface was a lot more cumbersome.

    Give me until the middle of next week, please, and I will have the fix ready for you.

    Awesome! Thanks so much.

    My Photonic Flickr Galleries do not display at all.

    I ensured that the shortcode was something other that “gallery.” The Photonics block seems to work fine. I am able to define a Flickr album and insert it. When I view the code, this is what I see:

    <!– wp:photonic/gallery {“shortcode”:”{\u0022type\u0022:\u0022flickr\u0022,\u0022view\u0022:\u0022photosets\u0022,\u0022photoset_id\u0022:\u002272157681392240404\u0022,\u0022user_id\u0022:\u0022100820670@N06\u0022,\u0022columns\u0022:\u00223\u0022,\u0022layout\u0022:\u0022square\u0022}”} /–>

    When I look at the generated page code, it all looks good. The Flickr farm links work. The html seems well-formed. However, nothing appears on the Web page.

    Here is the specific page: https://rmowp.org/test/

    Any ideas?

    ADDENDUM: Right after posting this, I changed the default lightbox to Fancybox 3. That made all the difference. WOW!

    @whcinc,
    Can you please start your own thread? I will respond there. When I visit your site I am able to see your gallery without issues

    @hawki – Version 2.17 (released a few minutes back) should fix this issue.
