From a trip to Santa Monica earlier this year. Looks like Flickr added a new photo size called “Medium640” – trying it out to see if it fits.

flickpress 1.9.2
This version fixes more bugs uncovered by WP_DEBUG and adds a way to import Flickr images into the Media Library. When you’ve clicked through to a photo, if your user has upload permission there’ll be a link at the bottom of the popup to import the image as an attachment to the current post. Then you can use the imported image as you would any other attachment, such as for the post thumbnail or featured image. Please only import images when you have permission to do so!
Get flickpress 1.9.2 at the WordPress Plugin Directory or by upgrading as usual in your WordPress admin panel.
Update: I installed a derivative of Twenty Ten so you can sorta see the image import feature in action. I imported a photo of a leaf and set it as the featured image for this post, so if you’re viewing this post by itself you should see that as the header image.

Wenceslas Square
From our trip to Prague a couple of years ago. We stayed at a nice bed and breakfast not far from the end of the the square.
WordPress 3 has a neat new check during plugin activation that generates a scary notice if the plugin generates any “unexpected output.” Sadly, the current version of flickpress was generating the scary notice. WordPress doesn’t provide any of the unexpected output and Apache’s error log wasn’t very enlightening either. I started deactivating, commenting out code blocks, then reactivating. It turned out the issue was in the table installation function. I was using this deprecated code:
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php');
…which should be this instead:
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php');
So, if you’re having trouble tracking down the source of this notice in your own plugin, carefully check everything it’s doing during activation.
This is an old padlock I found somewhere and then left on the patio railing. Wandering around the yard with the 50/4 Macro-Takumar never fails to turn up something interesting.
