Alesa Dam says:

known issues:

tags with non-alphanumeric characters
The script strips the ,"!@#%-_='/;` and space characters from the tag(s) to search for. The same way the search feature in Flickr works.

Example:
The Flickr API returns the TPHoF-week 53 tag as tphofweek53. Before checking, the script will convert the given tag to the Flickr API form.

Don't know what's happening there. If I open the ICM pool page, I get the 30 last added photos, with the FlickrGroupPoolTagChecker form on top.
Click 'check' for intentional camera movement tag, and I get a page without any photo. Same for page 2, page 3, and page 4.

Hi,

Thanks for this great script, lately it has not been working too well for me, I just created a new group and it will not find the missing tags?

Any help, using Firefox 3.6.12

On a few groups, one its finding the missing tags on some accounts but not all.

www.flickr.com/groups/ayrshirecoast/ tag is "ayrshirecoast" it's missing one that I can see.

www.flickr.com/groups/spoobestshot/ tag is spoobestshot
Not finding any on this group!

thanks

On ayrshirecoast it shows me 3 pictures, that all miss the required tag. Which one does it miss?

On spoobestshot, all images have the tag set, so, naturally, it can't find images with it missing :)

Something strange with this one.

I go to the photo page you mention. The photo belongs to 'Robin Bain'.
From this photo page, I can see it's in the 'Ayrshire Coast' pool. Using the pool's link on this photo page: www.flickr.com/groups/ayrshirecoast/pool/with/5179708116/ I get on the first page of the pool, but I don't see this photo!

At the bottom of the pool's page, 'Robin Bain' is listed as one of 'The Top Five Contributors'. I click this link, and I get There isn't anything by Robin Bain visible to you in the Ayrshire Coast pool.

The script uses an unsigned API call to get the photos from the pool. For most groups this works fine. But not for spoobestshot :)

I will look into that. The 'update available link' should take you to the script's userscripts.org page, the 'changes' link should take you here.

I'm finding this script very useful. I'm checking a group with 105,977 - 212 pages of 500 photos. After page 203 has been checked the check page button doesn't automatically display check page 204. If I manually try pages above 203 the script appears to work very quickly implying the pipe isn't checking any tags. Have I reached the page limit of the script and/or pipe?
Posted 30 months ago. (permalink)

Alesa Dam says:

There is no explicit limit. Not in the script, nor in the pipe. The API doesn't specify a limit either.
Can you tell me what group this happens in? I will have a look.

Thanks. Yes, I should have put the link with my query.

The pipe uses an un-authenticated API call to retrieve the photos, hence it only gets to see the public photos.

The group has a total of 101421 public photos in the pool. That makes for 203 pages of public photos :)

I'll add a note that this script only checks public photos

do you know if there is a working Flickr Award Counter extension for Chrome ?

I don't need to count awards on my images submitted to different groups.
Task is pretty simple: for every photo in the pool, count how many comments submitter did in the group (next 2 or 3 pages)
For comment - we can assume certain text string, like URL for Award image.

MyraAnn ("Myra") says:

I have downloaded the application to add Flickr tags for my group members' submissions. I am one of three Administrators, but the only one who will be using the tagging program. The download was successful, but when I click on Check, I get an error message that says that I do not have permission to view the contents of the pool. What do I need to do to get permission for this program to work?

Any info would be appreciated.
Posted 11 months ago. (permalink)

Alesa Dam says:

It should just work.

I was about to ask if that was a private group. Never tested the script on a private pool.
Just tried it. And that seems to trigger the error "pipe error: You don't have permission to view this pool".

Will have a look at it.
 
Posted 11 months ago. (permalink)

Alesa Dam says:

Looks like it won't work for private group pools.

And there is another restriction. Using the API, the script will only receive pool entries from Flickr that have their 'search' option set.

Maybe it's time to rethink this script...
Posted 11 months ago. (permalink)

visp says:

Hmm. I'm no good with pipes myself, but from a quick look at the script, it looks as if you're passing an auth_hash to the pipe (in order to get private/priviledged content), but that variable isn't actually being used in the pipe itself. Could you just add another text input node and modify the URL builder a bit to include the auth_hash part when talking to the API server?

About the search issue - is that really the case? Doesn't the restriction you can set in your account settings only refer to actual search calls? The pipe uses flickr.groups.pools.getPhotos, so that shouldn't be affected, should it?

visp says:

Oh, does that mean that auth_hash is tied to the user's session id, which would be missing when the request comes from the server running the pipe rather than the browser itself?
Posted 11 months ago. (permalink)

Alesa Dam says:

That is quite possible.


I am rewriting the script, so that it is more in line with other scripts on pool pages: it will (only) act on the visible items.
Posted 11 months ago. (permalink)

Alesa Dam says:

This version no longer uses the Yahoo!pipe.

It will check the tags on the photos available on the pool page, while in the small thumbnails view.

I just ran FlickrGroupPoolTagChecker on the One Letter group looking for photos without the tag "oneletter". The photos below do not have the "oneletter" tag. I used the option to "hide photos that have the required tag(s)". They disappeared as if the tag was present. It's related to the photos having a similar tag. In this case "onelettersmall". If I remove that "onelettersmall" tag the script works as expected.
