Ideato\FlickrApiBundle

Install

• Install with composer:

  #composer.json
  "require": {
      ...
      "ideato/flickr-api-bundle": "1.0.*@dev",
      ...
  }
  

If you want to keep using the old version of this bundle and not depend on the flickr-api library, you should use the following branch

    "ideato/flickr-api-bundle": "0.1.*@dev"

• Add the bundle to your AppKernel:

  #app/AppKernel.php
  $bundles = array(
      ...
      new Ideato\FlickrApiBundle\FlickrApiBundle(),
  );
  

How to use it

• Add the api_key and the user_id as parameters in your services configuration:

  <parameters>
      <parameter key="flickr_api.user_id">abc</parameter>
      <parameter key="flickr_api.api_key">abcdefg</parameter>
  </parameters>
  

• To retrieve the photo sets in your controller:

  $photo_sets = $this->get('flickr_api.photogallery_repository')->getPhotoGalleriesPreview();

and to display them:

<ul>
    {% for photo_set in photo_sets %}
    <li>
        <a href="{{ path('photogallery', { 'photoset_id' : photo_set.id }) }}">
            <img alt="{{ photo_set.title }}" src="{{ photo_set.preview }}">
        </a>
        <h4>{{ photo_set.title }}</h4>
        <p>{{ photo_set.description }}</p>
    </li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

• To retrieve only a specific photo set in your controller:

  $photo_set = $this->get('flickr_api.photogallery_repository')->getPhotoGallery($photoset_id); if (!$photo_set) { return new Response('Error message!', 404); }

and to display it:

<ul>
    {% for photo in photo_set.photos %}
    <li>
        <a href="{{ photo.url }}">
            <img alt="{{ photo.title }}" src="{{ photo.preview }}">
        </a>
        <h4>{{ photo.title }}</h4>
        <p>{{ photo.description }}</p>
    </li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

• You can access the flickr api directly through the service "flickr_api.api":

  $container->get('flickr_api.api');

Update 2011-07-05
