I created a custom Flickr Widget for Wordpress and successfully set up an options form for users to enter their Flickr information, but I cannot get the checkbox in the form to save whether or not it is checked. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here are my widget(), form(), and update() functions:
function widget($args, $instance) {
extract($args);
$title = apply_filters('widget_title', $instance['title']);
$displaynum = $instance['displaynum'];
$flickrid = $instance['flickrname'];
$num = 6;
$feed = new SimplePie($instance['feed']);
$feed->handle_content_type();
$photostream = $instance['show_photostream'];
function update($new_instance, $old_instance) {
$instance = $old_instance;
$instance['title'] = strip_tags($new_instance['title'] );
$instance['displaynum'] = strip_tags($new_instance['displaynum'] );
$instance['feed'] = $new_instance['feed'];
$instance['flickrname'] = $new_instance['flickrname'];
$instance['show_photostream'] = (bool) $new_instance['show_photostream'];
return $instance;
}
function form($instance) {
$defaults = array (
'title' => 'My Recent Flickr Uploads',
'displaynum' => 6,
'feed' => 'http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=33927859@N06&lang=en-us&format=rss_200',
'flickrname' => 'rastajellyfish',
'show_photostream' => isset( $instance['show_photostream'] ) ? (bool) $instance['show_photostream'] : false
);
$instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, $defaults); ?>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
