API Update: Hidden images

devbobo

G'day All,

The following API methods have been updated to reflect the addition of hidden images...

- smugmug.images.get with Heavy
- smugmug.images.getInfo
- smugmug.images.changeSettings

smugmug.images.get and smugmug.images.getInfo return a boolean variable "Hidden" for the owner.

And smugmug.images.changeSettings accepts a boolean argument "Hidden".

Cheers,

David

David,
If i call images.ChangeSettings with the original Caption and Keywords, but just flipping the hidden flag, i get a system error. However, if i change the caption while doing this, it seems to work fine. Is this by design that you require a change in some other field before the update can go through?
thanks!

I had that happen too.
If you send the Caption in your request, it must be different than the current caption in the smugmug database.

Basically, if you don't change a value/attribute, don't send it.

In your case, sending only the image-id and the hidden-flag is enough.

(In my API (SmugFig API) i track every attribute of each object and see if it is changed. Only if it has changed the new value will be sent to smugmug)
