Ok, another problem.. :P
Instagram created_time timestamp is GMT (I presume.. :P).. I need to get the italian timezone..

So I changed this:

Code: [Select]

'.htmlentities(strftime('%e %B %Y alle %R', $value->caption->created_time)).'

to:

Code: [Select]

'.htmlentities(gmstrftime('%e %B %Y alle %R',time()+3600,$value->caption->created_time)).'

But I get:
Warning: gmstrftime() expects at most 2 parameters, 3 given

I do get so confused in trying to decipher the mindfuck that is time and date in PHP.

I'm confused why you're putting in time() + 3600. gmstrftime as PHP's manual says wants two parameters - the format you want to display and the time you want to display in that format, putting in time() + 3600 is just going to confuse it (and it complains)

The description seems to indicate that it would actually deal with the offset itself (since setlocale should be providing it), which would suggest simply:

Code: [Select]

'.htmlentities(gmstrftime('%e %B %Y alle %R', $value->caption->created_time)).'

Failing that, the more naive but workable solution (though won't take into account DST)

Code: [Select]

'.htmlentities(strftime('%e %B %Y alle %R', $value->caption->created_time + 3600)).'

Second solution worked. :)

To change the "caching time" to ~16 min instead of 1 hour I need to change this:

Code: [Select]

if(file_exists($cache) && filemtime($cache) > time() - 60*60)

to:

Code: [Select]

if(file_exists($cache) && filemtime($cache) > time() - 100*10)

..? 100*10 are seconds, right?

Yes, time() and filemtime() work on seconds.

Is there a sense to have 60*60 instead of simply 3600? :o

Arantor · « Reply #35, on April 20th, 2012, 06:56 PM »

Only for readability later on. Using 3600 will be faster than using 60*60, but 60*60 is more readable. Unless we're talking an insanely busy site it doesn't matter (and if we are, there are bigger things to worry about than that anyway)

Do you think that 500 seconds (8 minutes) is a time too short and will impact on the server..?
I don't think it is.. also because the file cached is smaller than 10kb..

So you're fetching tags from Instagram... how often are items posted from Instagram that fit your tags?

If they're posted every 5 minutes or so, 3-4 minutes (180-240 seconds) is fine, if they're posted every 10 minutes, 8 minutes of cache is fine.

Uhm.. not really 5 or 10 minutes..it's a unused tag (#bombacarta) and it's used only by our "organization".. I presume that there will be a new image every.. day? or every 2 days..?

What's a good timing..?

And what if I was extracting photos only from MY recent photos (only photos by the user_id xxx) instead of tags (i.e. there are no other images to "discard", every photo in the provided stream has to be shown)? Would this be better? :)

If you're talking about one a day or thereabouts, there's really no need to be fetching any more frequently than perhaps once every 12 hours, or if you're really bothered, 1 to 6 hours.

I can't tell you whether using your account vs tags would be better. Which better describes what you want to show?

Uhm, I know but doing so I have to wait 12 hours to see the image on the website after I took it. Right..? I'd like to have max 10/15 min delay... do you think it's not possible?

I asked that because I have 2 sites where I'm using this snippet. The first retrieves the images of my user_id stream only, the other retrieves photos with a certain tag (so it has to scan every photo to ensure they have or not my tag, I presume). So I was wondering if the user-stream only snippet is less intrusive for the server because it has to scan a stream only.

And therein lies the problem. Your code is passive, it's doing lookups to see if there's something new. So if you want it to appear with no more than 10 minutes delay, that's the maximum caching time. But then your server does much, much more work in doing lookups to figure out if there's something new.

If you don't like these options, you have to figure out something different, namely something such that when you perform an upload, you somehow notify your other site.

*shrug* I doubt there's much in it.

Okay, I changed the code so that after 5 entries it displays the images left as thumbnails instead of standard_resolution. I also added a different text for standard_resolution images and thumbnail ($x_data):

Code: [Select]

			<?php
			setlocale(LC_TIME, 'it_IT');
			function get_instagram($tag=bombacarta,$count=10,$width=612,$height=612){
				$url = 'https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/'.$tag.'/media/recent/?access_token=13137.f59def8.1a759775695548999504c219ce7b2ecf&count='.$count;
				// Also Perhaps you should cache the results as the instagram API is slow
				$cache = './wp-content/themes/raymond-31/instagram_json/'.sha1($url).'.json';
				if(file_exists($cache) && filemtime($cache) > time() - 500){
					// If a cache file exists, and it is newer than 1 hour, use it
					$jsonData = json_decode(file_get_contents($cache));
				} else {
					$jsonData = json_decode((file_get_contents($url)));
					file_put_contents($cache,json_encode($jsonData));
				}
				$result = '<div style="border-top:1px solid #ddd">'.PHP_EOL;
				$ic=0;
				foreach ($jsonData->data as $key=>$value) {
					$location = (!empty($value->location->name))?'presso '.$value->location->name:null;
				if($ic>=5){$width=150;$height=150;$res_c=thumbnail;$x_data="thumbnail text";}else{$res_c=standard_resolution;$x_data="standard resolution text";}
				$ic++;
					$result .= "\t".'<em>'.htmlentities($value->caption->text, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8").'</em><br /><img src="'.$value->images->$res_c->url.'" alt="'.htmlentities($value->caption->text, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8").'" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" /><br /><div class="postinfo">'.$x_data.'</div><br />'.PHP_EOL;
				}
				$result .= '</div>'.PHP_EOL;
				return $result;
				}
				echo get_instagram();		
			?>

The problem is that instead of "standard resolution text" (added as an example), I'd like to add there something like "Scattata da $value->caption->from->full_name". But I don't know how to "include" the $value->caption->from->full_name stuff without errors..

So I tried with:

Code: [Select]

			<?php
			setlocale(LC_TIME, 'it_IT');
			function get_instagram($tag=bombacarta,$count=10,$width=612,$height=612){
            $url = 'https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/'.$tag.'/media/recent/?access_token=13137.f59def8.1a759775695548999504c219ce7b2ecf&count='.$count;
            // Also Perhaps you should cache the results as the instagram API is slow
            $cache = './wp-content/themes/raymond-31/instagram_json/'.sha1($url).'.json';
            if(file_exists($cache) && filemtime($cache) > time() - 500){
                // If a cache file exists, and it is newer than 1 hour, use it
                $jsonData = json_decode(file_get_contents($cache));
            } else {
                $jsonData = json_decode((file_get_contents($url)));
                file_put_contents($cache,json_encode($jsonData));
            }
            $result = '<div style="border-top:1px solid #ddd">'.PHP_EOL;
            $ic=0;
            foreach ($jsonData->data as $key=>$value) {
                $location = (!empty($value->location->name))?'presso '.$value->location->name:null;
			if($ic>=5){$res_c=thumbnail_resolution; $x_data="thumb text";}else{$res_c=standard_resolution;$x_data=Scattata da $value->caption->from->full_name 'il' htmlentities(gmstrftime('%e %B %Y alle %R', $value->caption->created_time + 7200)) htmlentities($location) }
			$ic++;
                $result .= "\t".'<em>'.htmlentities($value->caption->text, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8").'</em><br /><img src="'.$value->images->$res_c->url.'" alt="'.htmlentities($value->caption->text, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8").'" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" /><br /><div class="postinfo">'.$x_data.'</div><br />'.PHP_EOL;
            }
            $result .= '</div>'.PHP_EOL;
            return $result;
        }
				echo get_instagram();		
			?>

But I got a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on line 30, which is:

Code: [Select]

if($ic>=5){$res_c=thumbnail_resolution; $x_data="thumb text";}else{$res_c=standard_resolution;$x_data=Scattata da $value->caption->from->full_name 'il' htmlentities(gmstrftime('%e %B %Y alle %R', $value->caption->created_time + 7200)) htmlentities($location) }
