oJennieKim Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hi There! So I'm having problems with connecting my flickr to my SL. I tried to follow along with the steps but when I clicked the (connect) button... Nothing happened. The steps mentioned I would have to re-verify my yahoo.. But I never received the pop up or window to do so. Can someone help me? Yours Truly, Princess 🌺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillith Hapmouche Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 The stuff is broken, the API which connects both services doesn't work anymore. Save your pictures to disc and manually upload them to FlickR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillith Hapmouche Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Do I really have to add that the API is broken for everyone, not just for selected individuals? 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I love a well wielded bit of sarcasm when it is needed. This made me laugh. It is the only thing on the Forum today that did. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzette Saenz Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yes i have same problem linking to Flickr via the Comm tool on FS and get the "Problem connecting to Flickr" message when trying to "Share" to Flickr. It is too bad that SL Linden Labs is not supporting the Flickr connection, since many bloggers are directly promoting events and vendors i.e. advertising for MP and vendor purchases which equal a revenue stream for SL Linden Labs. This seems like a channel they would be eager to support for all SL users. I would hope a fix was in the works. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's not really causing any issues whatsoever for "bloggers" as most manipulate images in 3rd party tools or with filters and then edit the descriptions before actually posting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyelaNewLife Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hey guys, I've heard that some uses have had troubled uploading snapshots direct to Flickr. Does anyone know if there's an issue with the Flickr API? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmie try with an alt. Nope, still there. Is anyone else having this issue? Is LL aware of it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Dallas Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) The upload to flickr has been broken for several days and LL are not going to fix it. https://jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/FIRE-29553 Basically they have to devote developer time to fixing the upload each time flickr, twitter etc change their api and that takes development time away from - developing. Not to mention having to respond to tickets raised when those sites change their API and the upload breaks through no fault of LL. Save to disk - upload to flickr manually.

If you're too lazy to go that route, find out if you can upload via e-mail and use that option through the Snapshot Share system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Dallas Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Or go flickr po and it uploads for you and you help to keep the platform running whilst avoiding all those nasty adverts. Edited May 20, 2020 by Jet Dallas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Dallas Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Flickr pro comes with an app which automagically uploads from specified folders on your HD to flickr, sets them to private so only you can see them. You can then edit, and whatever then make public. Oh and you of course have no image limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Legion Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Just now, Maddie Margulis said: Having Flickr Pro doesn't have any bearing on uploading pics direct from SL to Flickr whatsoever, which is the problem. "The Problem" is solved by *gasp* saving the Snapshot to Disk to upload manually/through the mentioned Pro tool or to Send to E-Mail (if Flickr allows for it). The above is how it was done before the feature to send directly to Flickr was added into the Second Life client - a 'feature' added in during an era when Linden Lab was trying to add in hooks to/emulate varied Social Media platforms (a mistake). The removal of the varied Share To functions (the ones that kept breaking at any rate) from the client ought to tell you all you need to know: They're not going to fix it. Move on.

Maitimo Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 What LL (and all the other viewer developers) really need to do is remove the Flickr option from the viewer. Thus all future confusion will cease. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went flickr premium anyway because I can afford to and it throws them a few $ to keep the wolves (Google or even worse Facebook) from the door.

Thus all future confusion will cease. It was removed from LL's viewer since Version 6.3.5.533275 (last December), and capability to connect server side over a couple of server deploys (only recently). It won't be removed from Firestorm, as we will just use the code we used prior to LL's implementation of Share. For those interested, the next release of Firestorm, Flickr will connect again.

Even without cupcakes, Firestorm's new release is now available with Share to Flickr. 🙂 Firestorm Update 6.3.9.58205! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Dallas Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yep it is available and it works - but I'll stick with the save to disk and allow the app to upload in the background as it does not hog up Firestorm so much and I can take more pics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
