Fix Flickr Widget Code WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hi,
I'm just having a small issue with a theme. Some users are seeing the following error when trying to use this flickr widget. I know where the problem is (see below) but not sure how to fix it.

"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/hnfmedia.com/test/wp-content/themes/FreshStart/functions.php on line 468." Line 468 is the "foreach ($photos" line.



//Get flickr media and display based on user id
function getFlickrPhotos($id, $limit=9) {
require_once("flickr/phpFlickr.php");
$f = new phpFlickr("c1bc021fa23ba9a103aa88743dd9ad33");
$photos = $f->people_getPublicPhotos($id, NULL, NULL, 8);
$return.='<ul class="flickrPhotos">';
foreach ($photos['photos']['photo'] as $photo) {
$return.='<li><a rel="prettyPhoto" href="' . $f->buildPhotoURL($photo, 'medium') . '" title="' . $photo['title'] . '"><img src="' . $f->buildPhotoURL($photo, 'square') . '" alt="' . $photo['title'] . '" title="' . $photo['title'] . '" /></a></li>';
}
echo $return.='</ul>';
echo "<div style='clear:both;'> </div><a style='font-size:11px;' href='http://flickr.com/" .get_option('flickr_name'). "'>See More Photos on Flickr &raquo;</a>";
}

add_filter( 'wp_get_attachment_link', 'gallery_prettyPhoto');

function gallery_prettyPhoto ($content) {
// add checks if you want to add prettyPhoto on certain places (archives etc).
return str_replace("<a", "<a rel='prettyPhoto'", $content);
}

I would suggest the following modifications to the code you posted:
function getFlickrPhotos( $id, $limit=9 ) {
require_once( "flickr/phpFlickr.php" );
$f = new phpFlickr( "c1bc021fa23ba9a103aa88743dd9ad33" );
$photos = $f->people_getPublicPhotos( $id, NULL, NULL, 8 );
$photo_list = '';
if ( isset( $photos['photos']['photo'] ) ) {
foreach ( (array) $photos['photos']['photo'] as $photo ) {
$photo_list .= '<li><a rel="prettyPhoto" href="' . esc_url( $f->buildPhotoURL( $photo, 'medium' ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $photo['title'] ) . '"><img src="' . esc_url( $f->buildPhotoURL( $photo, 'square' ) ) . '" alt="' . esc_attr( $photo['title'] ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $photo['title'] ) . '" /></a></li>';
}
}
if ( ! empty( $photo_list ) ) {
if ( isset( $return ) ) {
print $return;
}
print '<ul class="flickrPhotos">' . $photo_list . '</ul>';
print "<div style='clear:both;'> </div><a style='font-size:11px;' href='http://flickr.com/" . get_option('flickr_name') . "'>See More Photos on Flickr &raquo;</a>";
}
}
add_filter( 'wp_get_attachment_link', 'gallery_prettyPhoto' );


To fix only the issue you asked about, the following should be sufficient:

foreach ( (array) $photos['photos']['photo'] as $photo ) {

It's good practice to always cast variables as arrays when passing them to foreach().

Suggestion My Pretty Flickr Widget code:

P.S: Also you can select from options for photo random or latest.

// prints the widget

extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);
echo $before_widget;
$id = empty($instance['id']) ? '&nbsp;' : apply_filters('widget_id', $instance['id']);
$number = empty($instance['number']) ? '&nbsp;' : apply_filters('widget_number', $instance['number']);
$showing = empty($instance['showing']) ? '&nbsp;' : apply_filters('widget_showing', $instance['showing']);
