Flickr reactions is PP?

[Tiestoo]

I was wondering if it is posssible (so please don't start the discussion whether or not it fits in PP etc.) to import reactions from photo's on Flickr, and post them on the same photos in PP.

I want this to 'start' my PP site, to make people feel more comfortable on reacting on photos (I hope they do when they see a lot of comments, because other Flickr members do react on my Flickr photos). Also it's great to store reactions of these two sites in one place, so that PP becomes the main thing, and I have to focus less on Flickr.

This is not a 'please fix post'. I'm just hoping some Flickr/PP expert can tell me if it is even possible at all.

It is possible but not in an easy way. Since you got no database access for Flickr you need to parse the html for each photo to get all the comments and store them in your database.

This is not an easy task and will take quite some time to develop.

Thx, good to know, maybe I'll ask this guy we both know ;)

If you have PHP with simpleXML lib then its quite easy :)

It's sure pp can do it. My photoblog has run like that for months.

I wrote an addon for it, and I use iptc(need "iptc addon") to insert image's flickr id. I set it to collect flickr's comment every 10 hours.

just visit my site to see if it fit your need, I can release the addon.

jdleung, I'd be interested in seeing your addon released.

The addon is uploaded and waiting for the team's approve. ;-)
