Improvement to Oauth Documentation #30

Description

I had a lot of issues authorizing a server-side calls to Flickr (not all yours!).

But once I realised how it worked, it was very easy. Your script worked a treat.

Where I went wrong.

  • The old auth method info and script in Flickr::Upload
  • Then, I just looked at the 'Authenticate' example in this module. But I hadn't noticed the 'saved config' in the first example, so it died on a file-not-found error. So I gave up and looked elsewhere...

So, I suggest a small change.

In Section "Authenticate an OAuth API Object starting with saved configuration"

Either

  • Add: # this uses the stored configuration from the first example above
    Or
  • Add the key and secret variables to the example (which are the current flickr names for them), i.e. not from the saved config

To test it, you'll have to ask someone who has never used it before to follow the instructions :)

It might be worth adding this script to the package.

I'll chase up the errors in Flickr::Upload

Thanks for maintaining this package. Its appreciated!
