Hi Paul,

I've been using another app for integrating Instagram Photos into my websites but I do know that Zentools2 does provide the tools to make this happen as well.

I have set-up the correct info in the Developer's Account at Instagram but I keep getting an error:

Warning: The access_token provided is invalid.
No content found. Please refine your module content settings.

I have double checked the access_token several times but I cannot get this to work.

Do you have an example available for me to walk through?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

I'm going to try this myself in the morning

I've created an instragram account but spent the last hour trying to upload pics

Think I might have a system in place now for uploading from my pc via my phone and dropbox

Cheers
Paul

Thanks so much Paul.

Well I'd like to say this was easy but I'd be lying - have to jump through a lot of hoops with instagram

In the module settings do you have a get token button?

I think this thread might be a long one

I used these sites

www.otzberg.net/iguserid/

And

jelled.com/instagram/access-token

Although I did end up using a live test site instead of localhost

Hi Paul,

I just got back to attempting to authenticate the connection with Instagram. I've spent another hour with no success.

I used the links you provided, logged into Instagram and was given an Access Token which I found in the browser. The token looked like this: www.petsinthecountry.com/#access_token=FIRST-set-of-number.SECOND-set-of-numbers

1) I've copied the Client ID from Instagram Developer and placed it in the Instagram Client ID area of ZenTools
2) I've added my redirect URL
3) I copied the FIRST-set-of-number.SECOND-set-of-numbers into the Instagram Access Token area.

I couldn't get it to work at all UNTIL, I cleared the cache.

In the end I had a comedy of errors:
1) I was taking the access token from Instagram Developer rather than the one created through the process outlined in jelled.com/instagram/access-token. I also learned that I was stripping out the later part of the URL provided by Jelled.
2) I had failed to correctly enter the redirect URL. We had recently changed from the http to https
3) I was unsure I was using the correct IDs etc. in the ZenTools module.

I'm hoping my struggles will help someone else streamline this process from hour (yes, hours) to minutes.

Thanks again Paul.

It's certainly not very user friendly on the instagram side

I also made the mistake you made with step 1

Cheers
Paul

Thanks for posting your solution / troubles - I'm absolutely certain people will find it useful

Cheers

Good Morning Paul,

I wanted to get in here and thank you again for walking through the integration especially the URLS for finding our USER ID etc. I've used it again on www.brennanharbour.com and I absolutely love how Zentools2 easily pulls in the text from Instagram.

I hope you have a good day. Things are pretty heavy in your part of the world at this time.

Steve

Thanks Steve,

Bring back all sorts of horrible memories of previous events but as Winston Churchill said

"keep buggering on"

Cheers
Paul
