Description
On Drupal 5.10, I keep getting
* Flickruser --- is not a registered user of this site
* User doesn't exist, unable to save image ---
I've created a user with the same user name and email address as the Flickr account and set to only import 2 per cron run.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

#1
Have you saved your Flickr account credentials in your Drupal account settings page? Go to "My Account" and input your Flickr username. I should probably add a more clear error message to explain this.
Let me know if this solves the problem.
#2
Yes I'd added the account to My Account. For the Flickr Identifier: I've tried using the username, NID, and email address associated with the Flickr account. I set it for 'only images after 9/1/08'
I get the "Import from Flickr" link in Navigation.
After clicking on Import, the progress bar comes up and it says "Importing image: [my first image]" And after 60 seconds, (the timeout settings I set) I gives me * Flickruser --- is not a registered user of this site ... in green
and Timeout: Unable to import from Flickr in red.
And, The import ... is complete!
Do I have to edit any of the settings for auth.php in phpFlickr? I tried with and without hardcoding the secret key and token, and same result: green and red erros.
#3
More info:
When I look at the cache table in mySQL, it looks to be gathering the file sizes for all the files to look for the largest one. And then timesout. Even though I only set it to download 2 images.
Any ideas for a workaround would be helpful. Thanks.

Based on your error text I think there's a configuration problem and not a problem actually importing the images. Have you resolved this yet? Please re-read through the install instructions carefully and see if you missed a step. And please let me know if you have ideas of how I can make the error messages more informative. Thanks!

Hi Ben, I attended your workshop at Badcamp. I'm having the same issue as H3 is describing. I've tried creating users and tried importing into different content types, but its erroring out trying to find the user. this is with email userid and nsid, I've tried a few different users at this point to the same end.

Flickruser Studio Phototrope is not a registered user of this site
Is this referring to the drupal site or the flickr site? In this case this error is incorrect on both accounts. I'll go back and listen to the audio from your session. Can you post your slides? I've also tried nsid. Here's my nsid link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/71002359@N00
This ID works with the Flickr Module.
Thanks for your help.
This may be a space name? I was able to get it working with specifically "Studio Phototorope" as the user name, but not nsid.

Hello,
I have the same problem with drupal 6.
Is there a solution for this problem?
Below is a screenshot to clarify

I'm having the exact same problem - has this been resolved? Thanks! Oh - I should also say this is with the D6 version with both patches applied.
#9
I changed the Flickr identifier under my account settings to be my Flickr Screen Name and the import began working for me.
I am using Drupal 6.10 and Flickr Sync 6.x-1.x-dev
