Issues with EE Flickr for ExpressionEngine and favorited photos

Question

I'm using EE hive's flickr plugin. I've authenticated ExpressionEngine with my flickr account but i'm having issues getting the favorites tag pair to display any information. I'm using EE 2.5.3 and the extension is version 2.1.9.

Here's my testing code

<h1>Photo stream</h1>
{exp:eehive_flickr:photostream}{flickr_url}<br />{/exp:eehive_flickr:photostream}

<h1>Sets</h1>
{exp:eehive_flickr:photosets}{set_url}<br />{/exp:eehive_flickr:photosets}

<h1>Favorites</h1>
{exp:eehive_flickr:favorites}{flickr_img}<br />{/exp:eehive_flickr:favorites}

The favorites tag pair just returns the {flickr_img} variable in plain text.

Any ideas?

OK I found the bug. I'll get in touch with Digital Wax Works to update the add-on, but in the meantime here's your fix:

Open up /system/expressionengine/third_party/eehive_flickr/pi.eehive_flickr.php, and at around line 310 you should find:

// Retrieve favorites from Flickr
$favorites = $f->favorites_getPublicList($flickr_settings['option_nsid'], NULL, NULL, $this->api_extras, $numPhotos, 1);

That method call is missing a parameter, so add another NULL in there like so:

$favorites = $f->favorites_getPublicList($flickr_settings['option_nsid'], NULL, NULL, NULL, $this->api_extras, $numPhotos, 1);

Give that a go, I hope it works for you!
