I'm in the final stages for both the flickr.module and the technorati.module. The former takes flickr.com photosets and turns them into semi-local pages, as well as adds a few input filters to easily render images hosted on flickr inside nodes. The technorati.module fetches both your link cosmos as well as the outgoing link data and turns it into a local page. It also adds a new item to the _links function, showing individual entry cosmos data.

Since both rely heavily on API functions, you should be a registered user at either service and be familiar with it. There's no help and little documentation, as well. If you are interested, let me know, and I'll send you the two (or one of them) modules.

Working demos can be found at http://www.jluster.org/cosmos for the technorati.module and http://www.jluster.org/flickr for Flickr.

I certainly will be testing your flickr mod. It was james walkah that informed me you were working on such a module. I am developing two sites I hope to use on ( a small church site and a blogging one too).

Features like user flickrsets and moblogs will simply be amazing.
Thank you very much for this mod. Know and appreciate all your work on this.

Hope to get back to you with some feedback.

I don't know about technorati one, but the flickr module is at http://drupal.org/node/14912

I've just installed it on my site, and it was very easy to do. It is at http://ichris.ws/flickr I haven't styled it yet, but looks like that will be quite easy with the provided class. (I love it that one can change the class name :) )

I don't plan to use it as input filter myself, but will test it out a bit to see if there is any problem. Photosets seemed to work fine. I'm a free member and only got 3 photosets, and will find photobuzz support very useful.

Will report back if there's problem. Thanks again.

These are a few things which I think will make the module better:

  • In each photoset's page, the h1 titile and html title is just 'Flickr Set Photos' now. It will be nice to have the set's name here.
  • Styling of the main page (Flickr Sets). Right now it's quite difficult to move things around. Perhaps if the whole thing is wrapped in one div ("flickr-set") and inside some elements with class that will help with styling. ("set-image", "set-name", "set-info", "set-describtion", for example.
    With this, floating "set-image" to the right with CSS will basically get the current layout.

Hi, jluster

I really like your flickr module but when I tested it. I got the following error message:

warning: fopen("drupal/files/temp/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fservices%2Frest%2F%3Fmethod%3Dflickr.photosets.getList%26api_key%3D57db23d93dfcee677939da5504e8994f%26user_id%3D11866541%40N00.cached", "w+") - No such file or directory in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/kzeng.info/httpdocs/drupal/modules/flickr.module on line 168.

could you help me to fix it? Thanks a lot !

The module is asumming your using Clean URLs. It will throw an error if you are using ?q= URLs:

    Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /modules/flickr.module on line 92.

Also, on lines 78 & 79 of flickr.module it looks like jluster's flickr credentials are hardcoded.

Yepp. As I said, it's rather early beta. I didn't really have time (or the install) to test it with non-clean URLs, and the hardcoded stuff needs to be cleaned out, as well.

Both sound really cool. Are you still working on them?

Jonas has since moved to a different system, so the answer is probably no.

I saw this http://www.kriskrug.com/?p=652 a while ago, but can't find the actual module until now.
