Sean Reiser

One thing I wanted to do on the new seanreiser.com was have flickr sets as first class nodes. Nothing against the way the flickr module and flickr sets module creates a page flickr sets page, I just wanted something a little different. Quite frankly I wanted access to all the viewsy goodness drupal can give. Also as flickr doesn't provide an RSS for flickrsets I can have Drupal provide it for me.

As the flickr + flickrsets module provides a flickr CCK field which supports sets so that's good. The issue was importing all the sets I've already created. I threw together a quick script and figured I'd post it here:

$sets = flickr_photoset_get_list($flickr_nsid);

foreach ($sets as $set){

$sid=$set['id'];
$info = flickr_photoset_get_info($sid);
$primary = flickr_photo_get_info($info['primary']);

$newnode = new stdClass();
$newnode->type = 'photoset';
$newnode->title = $info['title']['_content'];
$newnode->body = $info['description']['_content'];
$newnode->name = 'sreiser';
$newnode->field_photoset = array(0 => array ('type' => 'set_id', 'id' => $sid));

$newnode->created = $primary['dateuploaded']; // As there is not date created for the set, I'm using the key photo
$newnode->uid = 1;
$newnode->status = 1;
$newnode->active = 1;
$newnode->promote = 1;

node_save($newnode);

}
