ContextFlickr

This is the page for an alpha version of ContextFlickr. To use it:

1. download flickr_only-DATE.SIS from /group/context/latest/s60v2/. (all.SIS works as well, if you can live with the Contacts and Logs being replaced), and install it.
2. Set it up to publish media from Context_log. (If you've already done this, no changes are needed.) In Options|Settings:
• Enable Operator Locationing: No
• Enable media publishing: via Context_log
• Delete media after upload: Yes/No, depending on what you want.
• IP Access Point: your real access point (not WAP only, although that is getting rarer).
3. Go to http://db.cs.helsinki.fi/~mraento/cgi-bin/make_auth_token.pl to get a Flickr authentication token in a SIS file, and install that.
4. Start/Restart ContextLogger.
5. Take a photo and see if it works.

Limitations:

• Flickr doesn't work with other media than photos. ContextFlickr will try to upload all media, and fails with video and sound. The only way to stop it from uploading a file is to go and delete that file from the phone (it'll be in a ToBeUploaded directory).
• It's extremely fairly untested.
• It doesn't allow you to set things like public/non-public (it defaults to public).
• If something goes wrong, it doesn't necessarily give you a lot of information. You can dig in Options|Extra|Show Events and pester me.
• No GPS yet
• No automatic mapping of MCC to countries or LAC to cities. You could write a script to go through your photos and do that.

Separate tags with : in the upload prompt to get multiple tags in Flickr. To get back to your scheduled aware uploads, change the Publish Url base and Publish script back to what they were.
