Not sure if this is the right place to post this as this has a lot to do with Flickr's API, but hopefully someone can help and may be I can help some others too.
Basically, I'm trying to streamline a process, so I can tag and comment of my photos in Picasa, upload to Flickr, have them pulled back down onto my Drupal blog, then I pick some and group them together into a blog entry.
This is how far I've gotten:
- Installed emfield, FeedAPI, FeedAPI mapper, imageapi, imagecache
- set up feed content type and photoblog content type
- Put my flickr RSS in feed, map photo to emb image field, description to a CCK text field.
OK, so now each of my latest photo uploaded to flickr becomes a new photoblog node in Drupal. Great!
What I want to do next is to also get the EXIF data from my photos, map them to new CCK fields and display them by the photos. This is the part that requires some tweaking with Flickr's API. I saw that Flickr had given us API responses in Feeds so that should make things real easy for us using FeedAPI and mapper. But I am still trying to figure out how.
Also, let's say I have each photo and its descriptions / exif data as individual nodes. I'll probably set them as unpublished or only give admin permission to view this content type. Then, I need a way to organize them into one blog entry page. Any suggestions how to do this easily?
(I'm building this on a "features server", may be I can export what I have so far into a feature and attach it on here later. Just wanna get this question out first.)
