Open Layers - Photos as Point Icon not displaying












0















This is my first foray into both javascript and openlayers after the purchase of the Packt Open Layers book.



In summary I am looking to return thumbnails of georeferenced photos to markers on the map, in a similar fashion similar to this example (http://dev.openlayers.org/examples/georss-flickr.html) by using the code example from the book.



I modified the script from the book to




  1. use the flickr.photos.search API;


    1. created the photo urls out of the photos constituent parts
      ('https://farm'+item.farm+'.staticflickr.com/'+item.server+'/'+item.id+'_'+item.secret+'.jpg')




both of which seem to work fine and worked when using a standard point marker.



The piece I am stuck on is the display of the georeferenced thumbnails as markers. I believe I properly created an array of (Long,lat) to assign to each photo, but the thumbnails are not showing up as intended, despite my best efforts.



Thanks for any advice on getting the thumbnails to display!
