Flickr Gallery - Only a tweak to this code?

Hey all,

So I have been pouring over the code attached to this messages and I figured I would pass if off to you all and see if the experts could make sense of it and finish it off.

The code you see is a plugin for Textpattern (http://www.rvdh.net/vdh_flickr/Home). Simply put, it makes sets from Flickr appear as galleries on your site. Thinking this would be a great addition to my ModX sites, I wanted to take a crack at it.

Now if I am not mistaken, it looks like all that would need to be done to convert this to a ModX snippet is to manipulate the output from the txp output to direct HTML output, correct? The only problem with that that I can see is how to direct information back to the page with a snippet so as to create the ability to generate a dynamic page that drills down (does this make sense?)

Anyhow, I thought I would post this up and see whether or not any real developers could crack this one open. This one is a bit above my pay grade of simple SQL queries in PHP, but I think this would be a tremendous benefit to ModX if it could be done.

Thanks,
John

I don’t know about the code side of things, but this plugin has had great success in the textpattern community for it gives a lot of flexibility to integrate galeries... so yeah agreed I’d like to see that become a MODx plugin.

Hrmm...so nobody knows, or is this just the wrong place to get someone to do something like this?

Tell yah what, I’m gonna post a reward in the general support section and see if someone can figure this one out This is an important feature I would love to see in MODx!

Give it time, someone among the coder guys will do that in a snap I guess

Wait a little before posting a reward

How ’bout making the rewards back to the community?
Give it some more time, until all the coder free from their own schedule

I try to look at the code, but I have no idea how textpattern work, but as far as seeing the whole code as a big picture, it seems that it has a nice structure, which is to use class, and extend it over and over, and it looks pretty easy to be extended into MODx, if somebody willing to give this a try

Ok, how bout this:

Since my deadline passed for an individual, if it is released by this Sunday, I’ll donate 50 bucks to MODx in the person’s honor

Well on its way to being done.

Nice work John! Sorry I wasn’t able to help out...

No worries.

This was actually a great learning experience. My php coding has mostly resided within dB access, so getting into using an API was actually kind of fun.
