In reply to: [The Future Is Now] The Future is Now! doesn´t work with wp 3.5@boombatze – I’ve just posted an updated version of the plugin to work with WP 3.5+ . Should be good now. Testing welcome, thanks.

In reply to: Publish scheduled/future posts in 3.5Thanks a bunch Andrew Nacin! I’ve updated the repo with your version, which should be compatible with all WP versions.
I understand now. Thanks for the explanation!
Hi mattyrob – OK, I know to click Edit next to the names, but assumed I could delete a subscription via the (missing) checkboxes in this column. Interesting…. but so then what are those blank columns for if they’re not supposed to display checkboxes?
Thanks.
I think this is another case of understanding how users will really use the plugin. Can you imagine a common use case where someone would want to create drafts of image posts in the background, rather than selecting an image and writing a post around it immediately? I can’t.
Whatever is the most common use case should be the default behavior, with a possible override for people who use it in unusual ways.
Yes, I would have the dialog offer to take them directly to the post-writing page, because I can’t imagine anyone wanting to do anything else.
Or this option could be in the Settings page instead, to help keep the UI uncluttered.
Works brilliantly! Thanks so much. Love it.
Next feature request: Rather than just creating a draft in the background and keeping the user on the list of photos, why not take the user directly to the draft writing page immediately?
Thanks again.
Sure, doing it as a toggle checkbox on the stream view would work as well. I’d probably have it default to NOT including other people’s photos, and let them turn that on with the toggle (how often does one want to blog about someone else’s photos? probably not often).
Thanks for the tip on getting the ID dynamically – that worked perfectly. For anyone following along and waiting for this feature, here’s the temporary solution – edit instagram/instagram.php and change line 153 (approx.) to these two lines:
$instagram_user_id = get_option(WP_ROLL_INSTAGRAM_PLUGIN_PREFIX.’_instagram_user_userid’);
$file_contents = @curl_file_get_contents(‘https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/’.$instagram_user_id.’/media/recent/?access_token=’.$accessToken);Thanks FeliceMente!
Ahhh! I’m with you now. So the functionality I sort of assumed would be the primary use case (accessing just one’s own photos) is actually not supported at all. The problem with a view that includes both my photos and those by people I follow is that I might want to post a photo I took a week ago, and meanwhile my followees have posted hundreds or thousands of new images, making it very very hard to find my own photos.
If I had more time, I’d love to contribute code to this plugin, and create a third UI tab called “My photos,” but unfortunately I don’t. So I just modified line 153 of instagram.php, as follows:
$file_contents = @curl_file_get_contents(‘https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/12345/media/recent/?access_token=’.$accessToken);
Yes, that’s a horrible hack. I wanted to get the user ID in there dynamically, but it’s locally scoped in wpinstaroll_deal_with_instagram_auth_redirect_uri() and not available from within wpinstaroll_getInstagramUserStream(), so I had to hard-code my ID (you can find your IG user ID at http://yvesvanbroekhoven.github.com/get-your-instagram-user-id/ ).
And of course it would have been ideal to use your url translation system for this as well, but for now, I’m just going hard-coded. I know, yuck, but it works for now.
Would love to see a My Photos tab in the UI in a future version! Maybe I’m assuming wrong, but I would assume that that’s what 90% of your users will be looking for….
Thanks for all the work you put into this.
Hmm, OK, so I have to put something in that field, but I’m not sure what to put there. I tried putting in “foobar” and the plugin started working… sort of. Now, instead of an error message, the User Stream tab shows not my photos, but photos by strangers. And the Photos by Tag tab shows a different set of photos by strangers.
I also tried putting my own username in that field, but it didn’t cause it to show my own photos.
I only want to work with my own photos.
So… still don’t know what to put in that field to make it show my own photos.
Thanks if you can clarify.
Ah – It is true, I left that field blank because I didn’t understand what its purpose was. And I still don’t. Does it mean that I have to start adding tags to all of my IG photos or else Instaroll won’t pick them up? But the description says “both from user stream and by using a specific search tag” which implies that I don’t need a tag.
My hope is that it would just show thumbs of all of my IG photos and let me select one or more to convert into a post.
Maybe some help text is needed on that settings field, or some documentation on the feature if it causes the plugin to not work?
Thanks much,

In reply to: [Plugin : Category Images II]Category Images III’ve got the right code in my templates – the problem is that it shows the thumbnail on the main category page, not the original image. Not getting any response out of the developer, may have to try hacking the source.
