Hi Ryan,
Thanks! I can't believe i didn't try that yesterday (although it was kinda late :) ). $entry->alternateLink->href works like a charm (even on the non- authenticated server-connection i'm using)!
I did try to use entry->getLink('alternate'); at some point, but that doesn't return anything usefull as far as i can echo :) (looks empty?)
Well thanks again!
Nanne

Note that $entry->getAlternateLink() or $entry->alternateLink just ends up calling $entry->getLink('alternate');
The getLink() method returns the full array by default, or a single Zend_Gdata_App_Extension_Link element if you pass a rel value which it finds in the array.
The docs on the getLink method (and others) need some improvement.

Hi Nanne,
You're looking in the right place. You need the link with a rel='alternate'. Following this message is some code to get that.
You can also get the unique value used in the URL out separately if you want-- that's also shown in the code below.
Cheers, -Ryan
<?php
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php'; Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin'); Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Photos');
// Parameters for ClientAuth authentication $service = Zend_Gdata_Photos::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME; $user = 'email address'; $pass = 'password';
// Create an authenticated HTTP client $client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($user, $pass, $service);
// Create an instance of the Base service $service = new Zend_Gdata_Photos($client);
$feed = $service->getUserFeed();
foreach ($feed as $entry) { echo $entry->title->text . "\n"; // the full link href echo $entry->alternateLink->href . "\n"; // the 'unique identifier' echo $entry->gphotoName->text . "\n";
}
Hello all,
I"m fairly new to the Google API game: I was busy trying to come up with a google-feed parser when luckily someone kicked me towards the API :). now I'm using the ZEND-php framework, and i can successfully request an album list, including title and summary etc etc...
One problem, I can't find a really clear description of where to find what data. There are numerous lists of available methods etc, but i couldn't find any real explanation of what info comes from where. And that is probably the base for the following question:
I can find the title (as you can see below), and i use that to make the album feed. Not the cleanest way, but i thought it would work. just link tohttp://www.picasaweb.com/USERNAME/ALBUMNAME... well, problem is that when there is whitespace, an "-" or probably some other things in the album name, they get removed in the URL. So this method doesn't work :(.
Can anybody point me to the place i can find the link? I've been looking into the method "getLink()" ofcourse, but this gives me a BIG array, that does contain the right information i guess, but i'm not keen on parsing that array -> i would rather just use the correct method.
Abbreviated and anonymized code:
$service = new Zend_Gdata_Photos(); $userFeed = $service->getUserFeed("USERNAME"); foreach ($userFeed as $entry) { if ($entry instanceof Zend_Gdata_Photos_AlbumEntry) {
//this doesn't work. echo('<a href='http://picasaweb.google.com/".$userFeed->getTitle() . "/" . $entry->getTitle() ."'>".$entry->getTitle()."</a>');
//loads of info :) dirty hack? print_r($entry->getLink()); } }
If someone could help me i would be grateful :)
