Extension talk:FlickrAPI

Private Photos
The extension appears not to work for photos that have been designated "private" on Flickr (that is "only visible to you"). I can successfully use the extension to embed public photos, but when I try to embed a photo that is private I get the following error: "Flickr Error ( Photo not found ): PhotoID {id}." Any help here would be appreciated.

I think, if a photo is declared private, one should take this declaration serious.--&#91;&#91;User:Bmrberlin&#124; Bernd M.&#93;&#93; (talk) 05:35, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Good IDs not being found?
Hi, I am trying to get to show a sample image, which is public domain and public. Yet, I always get the "Flickr Error ( Photo not found ): PhotoID" message! Either I've made a stupid mistake, or there's something wrong in general. What to do? see the error here this is the image I'm trying to call


 * I've tested this ID on my server and it works. So there is something wrong with your installation of the extension or your flickr API. Please take a look at your parameters. May be, the flickr format is necessary and missing. --&#91;&#91;User:Bmrberlin&#124; Bernd M.&#93;&#93; (talk) 09:37, 18 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know this: I checked well and there was actually a small mistake in localsettings file :) All great now, thanks again, much appreciated.

Now there is definitely a problem
Hi, I am trying to use the extension, but not very successful. Checked everything and it seems as per your instructions. Then I noticed that in your own manual all images have the same error. Maybe Flickr changed the API? (User:sorin.sfirlogea) 15:15, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The site you referenced uses a different extension, but it is posted as a reference since it uses the same syntax. I am seeing that this extension works fine on other sites. If you have a live example, I'll take a look. --Ike @ WikiWorks 00:16, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Now it works. Don't get it what was wrong initially. Thanks, anyway.

Some strange behaviour
Every once in a while, especially after saving some edits of the page, the FlickrAPI extension behaves strangely. It returns a wrong formated HTML that looks like this:

In other words, the output is delivered and displayed twice: once before the HTML document and once in its right place, within the HTML document. Any idea why this happens? When refreshing the page it returns to normal. There is no cache mechanism and the browser cache is not the explanation, I've already checked.
