Not program as much as service, and since it has been discussed here before I know it should work. Which is quite the annoying bit here. I don't know for sure if you're able to select category, I haven't gotten that far, but I think so.
Flickr is a cool online application for managing and sharing photos, and one of the things you can do is blog the pictures you upload (or other peoples public pictures, for that mantter). That's what I'm trying to set up to do. |

Where you add your weblog, there's nothing about categories. All you can fill in is the adress to your API endoint, your username and your password. Which I have done, as far as I know correctly, but nothing. Unless, of course, I should add something to some of those.
Anyone who has gotten it to work with flickr that can perhaps guide me through or give a hint?
Using w.bloggar works like fine, though, so it doesn't seem like the problem is with my pivot installation. |

| After you enter your API endpoint, Flickr should give a list of categories that you can post in, and you get to choose one. |

Yeah, that's what I thought. And that is what's not happening.
This is getting more and more frustrating with every silly little thing I try. |

You know, I could become a certified nutcase for less. I tried again today, adding my blog to flickr, and it worked. Without me doing anything new. It's crazy, I tell you, crazy.
My computer has been getting a habbit of freezing up lately. Maybe the last crash did some good, like getting rid of an evil cookie monster or something like that. Maybe.
I'm glad it worked, but for once it would be nice to know why it works. Ah well, as the song goes: Don't worry, be happy. |

One thing to keep in mind about Flickr is that they are still a beta service, and their software changes pretty regularly. The problems you were having were just as likely to be problems with Flickr as problems with Pivot. |

Is it correct that after installing the XML/RPC patch this 'extension' doesn't work anymore?!

Yes, the new XML/RPC version breaks the metaweblog extension.
To fix it, make these changes to metaweblog.php:
--change all calls to piv_xmlrpc_encode to php_xmlrpc_encode
--change all calls to piv_xmlrpc_decode to php_xmlrpc_decode
Make sure you install the XML RPC patch before you change metaweblog.php. The modified version won't work with the old xmlrpc.inc.
I'll try to get the modified version uploaded tomorrow. |

Hi!
My very first post in the forum by the way 
I'm having some problems with posting my pictures from Flickr to my blog when I use the script here.
Everything worked out and I got it working just fine...there's just one annoying thing!
When published to my blog, it does not show swedish letters as it should (see examle http://blog.skutta.se/pivot/entry.php?id=9).
Is this a flickr problem or a pivot thing? Can someone help me whith this please?

I've had a reply from the Flickr-folks; they think it's a Pivot-problem.
I somehow doubt that
Can anybody help me out? Thx!

Did you apply the above patch including editing the metaweblog.php file?
