    After upgrading to 2.4, things are a mess. When I go to the page where I’m loading this plugin, it prompts me with a pop-up browser window that says “finish”. Then there is a line of text on the page that says “open originals: false”. And last, the nice and beautiful formatting of my photostream (with previous versions of this plugin) is justified left with some white space left on the right side (it’s not filling the full width of the page) and it’s not keeping the proper aspect ratio of photos (squishing them, etc.)

  • Hello,
    We are having a similar problem after the upgrade to version 2.4, the error we receive is “open originals: false”. Is it possible that the error happens because we had to create a yahoo email address to access flickr because they are no longer accepting gmail addresses to log in?

    My guess is that some form of programmer debug code was left turned on when 2.4 was released. I believe the particular text that shows up is for a new feature released in 2.4.

    Same problem here, getting open originals: false on the page and all the formatting is messed up.

    I also noticed the “Last Row” setting appears broken. If you change it from “Justify” to something else, it always reverts back to Justify. May not be related to the other problems, but I figured I’d mention if it helps.

    And boy, it sure would be nice to have previous versions available to download. ??

    It would be amazing to have a rollback feature just for these sort of instances.

    If anyone feels like editing php source code, look for this line:

    echo “open originals: ” . $open_originals;

    in flickr-photostream.php and remove it. That doesn’t fix the other problems, but it does get rid of the “open originals: false” (or true) from being displayed.

    And if you are getting the pop-up “alert” message that simply says “finish” that is because this plugin apparently is not detecting a “Colorbox” lightbox plugin. However, this was not a problem before version 2.4. I have “Lightbox Plus ColorBox” installed and my photos do appear in a lightbox. Worked fine, but with version 2.4 of the Flickr Photostream plugin, I’m getting the before mentioned alert. Change the Lightbox setting to the built-in “Swipebox” and that will stop the pop-up alert. Obviously if you wanted to use your Lightbox plugin of choice, this won’t be possible (right now) but at least this will stop the pop-up alert.

    Still have not found a fix (before a new version is released) for the formatting issues.

    Our flickr photostream is visible on Chrome and the Android browser, but not on Firefox or Safari. The texts “open originals: false” or “open originals: true” appear on all browsers depending on our Open original images choice under the plugin settings menu.

    Line #158 reads:
    echo "open originals: " . $open_originals;

    Change it to:
    //echo "open originals: " . $open_originals;

    That is how to patch that safely until the developer releases another update.

    I’ll look into the justify issue and see if I can find anything.

    Change line #30 from:
    $flickr_photostream_lastRow_default = 'justify';

    to:
    $flickr_photostream_lastRow_default = 'nojustify';

    or:
    $flickr_photostream_lastRow_default = 'hide';

    until the developer releases a fix.

    The “nojustify” only seems to fix the last image for me. It does nothing to fix the overall formatting issues. Images are still squished and pushed to the left. And instead of editing the source code for this setting, you can use the plugin’s built in shortcode parameter to do it:

    last_row="nojustify"

    Any way I can download the older version? 2.4 does not seem to work at all for me ??

    Sorry for the bugs. Seems that I committed an old version and I lost the stable, svn is not really good…

    I updated a new version 2.4.1 with the same files of the 2.3

    I will update a new version soon
