Trying to use the image uploader

Anyone used this? I dont get why I cant get this to work. Tab bars - Download. The url from download tab created as the data url on a third tab, for uploaded images. Anywhere i'm going wrong?

For your message. That app is built on 1.5 and uses email image which is connected to a Flickr account, that what you are aiming for?

Exactly that. Image uploader in one tab, gallery of uploaded images in another. Unsure how the 2 link? Many thanks.

I always start by adding a '+' link in the top right if gallery and connect that to the image emailer screen. You try that yet? The tab connected to the email image screen should work a well, just drop your unique Flickr email into the settings for pageand you should be good to go.

You are going to insert you Flickr API key into the data URL and it will look something like this: http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.people.getPublicPhotos&api_key=??????????????&user_id=???????@???&per_page=250&format=json

If you are logged into Flickr I think the email is located under settings or top right corner.

Yip, you have to apply / set up API key. That then plugs into the data URL above at the first set of question marks and then your account ID at the second set of question marks. The ?????@N01 part.

@Ceerup The screen data URL for your gallery links to the public photos team of your Flickr account. It uses the JSON URL above, replaced with your API and unique account ID of course. @Alex@TM Did you hit this page and click on Get API where it links in first paragraph?

Ok. So you have the URL above into the screen data URL and have added your key to first set of '?'s' and your account ID into the second set '????@n03' type thing? Then grabbed the latest config data, dropped into Xcode in the config.txt clean and build?

It shouldn't be if you copied it from above. Try adding a picture to the Flickr photo stream via the browser first and see if that displays in your gallery screen. Maybe crashing due to no data / image being available to pull.

its definitely the json, flickr is putting out invalid json keeps saying this Parse error on line 1: jsonFlickrApi({ ^ Expecting '{', '[' now if theres a way i can just fix this json than i can just put the json somewhere else and get the data from there right?

@Alex@TM well aware of the match, watches both today. Decent result for England, important not to lose first game. You've made changes to the app config so you need to copy the config data and update the config.txt in Xcode, clean and build. @Ceerup Mine does the same, did you also do the above directed at @Alex@TM?

@Alex@TM No, this URL - the Flickr Json above - goes in the gallery screen data URL that is going to show the Flickr photo stream. Don't mess with the data URL you mentioned for this. @Ceerup that data URL is just pulling from the photo stream, not an individual gallery, make sense?
