HEY, thank you SO MUCH for making this module. It is amazing and I've been wanting a module that does this for so long!!! I tried to fix flickriprr but I'm just not a programmer :(

Anyway, I'm just noting that it would be great if the importer checked to see if the photo has a title, and if it doesn't, imported the photo into a node with the title 'untitled.' titles don't really matter on flickr, but in drupal, nodes without titles cause all kinds of weirdness.

thanks!

Have you seen photos come in without a title? In my tests I've seen titles like DSC_2035, but I haven't seen a blank title. While you have a good idea, I'm not sure how to distinguish between a real title and one like this... Any ideas?

Well, many of my photos on my flickr have no title. I purposely go in and delete the title from the photo because I like having just a photo with no title and caption. Flickr will try to import the image title but I go and remove it. I attached some screenshot examples of photos on Flickr with no title at all, and what happens when these get imported into Drupal, in the admin content list. I think it's just a matter of checking if the title is blank.

Also just to re-iterate I'm SO psyched about this module, I'm doing a lot with it using views and theming and node reference fields to add galleries to blog posts and stuff! I'll show you the finished product when it's up. SOON hopefully. :)

Version: 5.x-1.x-dev » 6.x-1.x-dev

Although this is old and tagged for 5.x, I feel this is a good issue to look into for 6.x & 7.x version and have marked it for 6.x.

I think the best solution would be to just set the title to the photo id if there is no title.

I have commited a patch to 6.x-1.x-dev to set node title to photo id when no title is found.

Thanks, it was still an issue for me and I'm still using this module! I am about to move my site to d7 so it is great to see a d7 version of this module!

Have you updated to the 6.x-1.3 version of the module? If the photo is untitled, the title in Drupal is set to the Flickr photo_id. I opted for the photo_id over a standard title since I figured it would be easier to differentiate nodes when listing them. I will go ahead and perform a bit more testing on this issue to make sure it is fully resolved.

I looked into it and the title is being set to the photo id when no title is present in Flickr. What I did notice was that on import the Drupal Message was not properly showing the title. I fixed this and committed the update. The update should be in the dev version on the next update to the dev package.
