similar to: Flickr API and Ruby Question...

Does anyone know how to get going with the flickr api WITHOUT using the ''flickr.rb'' gem? I''m wanting to just use the REXML and ''net/http'' stuff.

I tried to install flickr.rb on my Dreamhost server, and I got an error. This is what I did to install it: $> gem install flickr I''m not sure if there are any other parameters... does anyone know why I got errors when trying to install this? What does it mean when it asks "Install required dependency xml-simple?" By the way, here''s the results: [myserver]$

hey, i am using the flickr wrapper for ruby and need to access the tags of a specific photo. i got all the rest working. i must admit i am kind of new to ruby, but i tried and tried and couldn''t figure it out. among other things i want to read geotags like in my example here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/whoisstan/146634506/ i''m sure it is deadsimple and i just overlooked it.

I''m returning my photos to my site, but I''m want to limit the result to like 5 photos or something. Right now, it''s returning all of my public photos. What I''m attempting is to do some sort of counter loop in the view to limit this, but it seems like the API would have a count or a limit option. Does anyone know how to limit the photos returned by

Hi, I watched the flickr demo video some days ago and I was impressed of Rails so I decided to test it my self.. I put it on my web server on windows (Apache2/fcgi/Rails1.0). All works well but I have this in my log: Processing FlickrController#search (for 127.0.0.1 at 2005-12-17 15:00:02) [POST] Parameters: {"commit"=>"Find", "tags"=>"flower",

Does anyone have any experience with using flickr.rb? Seems the only thing which is documented for it is searching through your photos. Anyway, all I''m trying to do is return a list of my 20 most recent photos, but nothing seems to work. doing this returns 100 photos for a given user (which takes all day to load) @flickr = Flickr.new ''API KEY'' @user =

Hi, I''m new to Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Yesterday I just received the Agile Web Development with Rails book. Now I wanted to recreate the Flickr demo screencast (http://www.rubyonrails.com/screencasts) just for fun to see it live. But unfortunately when I start my server I get some warnings: g5:~/ruby/flickr mw$ ruby script/server => Booting lighttpd (use ''script/server

Hi all! I''m trying to deploy an application out to a subdomain at dreamhost. I am getting the dreaded "Rails application failed to start properly" error. The logs for my app are empty. In the DreamHost FTP app, when I look in the error.log file (I''m guessing this the Apache error log file) I see the following for each of my attempts: [Sun Jul 16 12:36:32 2006]

I''m working on uploading my site to dreamhost. I just setup my production database, and gave it a host name. It said that it was successfully created. Now, it''s been like 25 minutes, and I still can''t connect to it. Is that normal? How can I get my tables created? Just wait it out? I''m trying to load it in the browser, and it says "server not

Hello everyone I wonder if anyone can point me to the library for timezone management with DST support, which has timezones, like flickr has. I know that there is TZInfo, but it''s a bit different for it has huge list of available timezones in ''Continent/City'' format. I would like my application to have timezones list more like on flickr (or windows regional settings) -

I''m trying to interface with the flickr API to pull my photos into my site. I don''t want to use the "flickr.rb" gem, I''d like to do it the other way so I can learn (plus I had trouble loading the gem on my server). Anyway, here''s what I have: #Application.rb controller def get_response(path, http) request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(path)

So I''ve pretty much followed the steps in the video tutorial on RoR.com for creating a small app, to search for photos on flickr.com - all is good, and works as intended to.. How would I go about adding validation, so if no tags are specified it will fail. I know I have to use validates_presence_of :tags - but not in the controller.. so I tried to generate a model called

New to rails so please bear with me. Am having difficulties with the flickr plugin. trying to follow the video as a starter, and keep hitting the following problem when I require ''flickr'' in the environment.rb file testbed:/srv/www/htdocs/carstuff # ruby script/server => Booting WEBrick... /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xml-simple-1.0.7/lib/xmlsimple.rb:274: warning:

Does anyone know how long it will be until Dreamhost get''s the Rails 1.1 install running correctly? My site has been down since last night at about 7:00 pm (I think). It''s annoying, and are a lot of others having this problem too? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

When someone comments on my site, I would like to store the user''s name as a cookie, and display it the next time they return. I really don''t know how to do this. Does this use the cgi library? As most things with ruby, I would imagine it to be quite simple... could anyone post a code snippet as to how this would work??? Thanks... -- Posted via

Maybe I''m having a "slow day" but I can''t for the life of me figure out how to print a photo''s tags using the flickr gem (flickr.rb). Consider this: <% @photos.each do |photo| %> Tags: <%= debug(photo.tags) %> <% end %> ...Gives the following output: tag: - authorname: gmacgregor author: 62682519@N00 id: 4181224-280985155-130
