Testing Flickr Comment Import plugin

Yesterday I hacked a plugin which allows importing of comments from Flickr into a WordPress post, however I am not releasing this iteration of the plugin because

  1. It does not really use the Flickr API but the recent activity RSS feed
  2. It involves the WordPress user entering a custom field called flickr_ID which should have the value of the picture ID on Flickr
  3. It is hooked to the admin_head – which means that comments are imported only when I do something in the WordPress Admin

Thus I am not releasing this version – the next version will try to solve the above three issues and I will release that. Meanwhile if you go to this photo on Flickr and comment, the comment will show up on this post in a while

    VERY cool.
    I use the Flickr Manager plugin (great plugin if you haven’t tried it) to insert photos on my site, the author might be very interested in talking to you.
    His info is here: http://tgardner.net/wordpress-flickr-manager/

    Here’s how it looks: http://zerflin.com/2009/12/03/natalie-day-photoshoot-for-merricke-towle/

    Perhaps you could have it scan the Post section for “http://www.flickr.com/photos/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”, and then pull the comments for those photos? Would that work?

    Many many many thanks for creating this LIve Flickr Comment wordpress plug-in.

    I had been wondering if an equivalent to the blackbird pie plug-in which pulls in twitter and stores tweets them locally via custom fields existed for flickr.

    Just discovered your elegant solution. Deeply appreciated.
