Jun 14, 2008 19:01 Bdesign 343 posts	FrogR v0.7 beta has been updated to FrogR v1.0.0 : http://frog.bebliuc.ro/articles/2008/06/15/plugin-bd-frogr-v1-0-0-slimbox.html . Now using slimbox.

Jun 15, 2008 09:11 David 1493 posts	Gorgeous, Bd! Two questions: Do you still have the old gallery version available? or is it "withdrawn"? Can your Slimbox plugin be used without the Flickr feed? or would that kind of gallery plugin be different? Thanks! Will update the plugins on Frog page soon!

Jun 15, 2008 09:59 Bdesign 343 posts	Do you mean the carousel ? No, because it wasn't playing nice with IE Slimbox withouth FlickFeed? Of course. You just have to place in your header : `<?php js_frogr(); ?>` , and for images to use Slimbox , use the standard syntax : `<a href="http:///blablabla.bla/img.jpg" rel="slimbox">Text or image like <img src=""></a>` This should do the trick.

Jun 15, 2008 10:09 David 1493 posts	That's great! Maybe you could put the info about how to use Slimbox without Flickr in your doc/readme with the plugin? I have updated the "User Plugins" info on Philippe's site. Thanks again!

Jun 15, 2008 12:12 Bdesign 343 posts	I`ll remake the docs. Thanks for the tip.

Jun 17, 2008 11:07 Bdesign 343 posts	Can anybody post a userid and a set id ?

Jun 17, 2008 11:32 Bdesign 343 posts	I've upgraded the download on my site. Now it supports sets of pictures from Flickr.

Jun 20, 2008 06:57 David 1493 posts	A quick update - this plugin is working great! :) I have tried it with local images (without the Flickr feed), and you can see the results here. Works a treat! One correction to the instructions in post #6, above, though. The correct syntax for linking locally is: `<a href="picture.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="Title will be Slimbox caption"><img src="thumbnail_picture.jpg" alt="Your pic's ALT text"></a>` Notice that the `rel` is `="lightbox"` NOT `slimbox`. Also, if you want to group multiple photos into a set, use `rel="lightbox[set]"` with each of the links, and you can use anything you like for the keyword, like `...[euro2008]`, or whatever. Thanks again, BD, and hope this helps!

Jun 20, 2008 09:14 Bdesign 343 posts	Ups. My bad. I've made a new version of it using jquey, because my site is based on jquery, and slimbox is based on mootools. The bad thing is that they don't get together to well, so I needed a solution. I will release it soon.

Jul 10, 2008 20:17 Andy 257 posts	Also just a note to BDesign - the function for fetching the images from Flickr, namely file_get_contents() is disabled on many servers as it has a higher security risk. Of course, if you have your own box in a rack you have your own install of PHP so it doesn't matter. I'm trying to look at an alternative method without having to get into Server admin and will let you know if I get anywhere - from the offset it would appear that CURL would be a viable solution...

Jul 10, 2008 20:28 Andy 257 posts	Woot! Anyone having trouble with the PHP configuration on their server due to the use of the file_get_contents() function, try the following: Open the index.php file inside the folder 'frog/plugins/bd_frogr/' Find the line with: > $content = file_get_contents($url); Replace with: > $ch = curl_init(); > $timeout = 0; > curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); > curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout); > curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); > curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1); > $content = curl_exec($ch); > curl_close($ch); Save and enjoy the Flicks :)

Jul 10, 2008 20:30 Andy 257 posts	grr, markdown - this confuses the hell out of me! lol

Jul 10, 2008 20:40 Andy 257 posts	Here is the code from Step 3 above: `$ch = curl_init(); $timeout = 0; curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1); $content = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);`
