This plugin for WordPress allows you to display Flickr photos on your weblog. The plugin supports user, public and group photostreams. It’s easy to setup and configure via an options panel. It also has support for an image cache located on your server.

Download

flickrRSS 3.2
Released: Jan 11, 2008

Installation

1. Put flickrrss.php in your plugins directory
2. To use the image cache, create a writable directory and specify its location in the options
3. Activate the plugin
4. Configure your settings via the panel in Options
5. Add <?php get_flickrRSS(); ?> somewhere in your templates

FAQ

1. Can I get random images from my stream?
   No, it’s a limitation of using the RSS feed (it only contains the most recent photos)
2. Why can’t I display sets?
   Flickr doesn’t provide any rss feeds for sets
3. How do I refresh the photos manually?
   Good question. The plugin uses built-in WordPress functions to update the feed, I haven’t figured out how to force an update.
4. When I use multiple tags, why does nothing shows up?
   The feed will only pull in photos that have both tags, not one or the other.

Advanced

The plugin also supports a number of parameters, allowing you to have multiple instances across your site.

1. $num_items - how many photos you want to appear
2. $type - specify user, public or group photosream
3. $tags - a comma separated list of tags (with no spaces)
4. $imagesize - square, thumbnail, medium or large
5. $before - html appearing before each photo
6. $after - html appearing after each photo
7. $userid - specify a user id (or group name)

Example 1
<?php get_flickrrss(10, “public”, “london,people”); ?>

Example 2
<?php get_flickrrss(5, “group”, “”, “thumbnail”, “<li>”, “</li>”, “eightface”); ?>

The first example would show the 10 most recent public photos tagged with london and people. The second would show the 5 most recent thumbnail sized photos from the Eightface group, and each photo would be wrapped in list tags.

The purpose of this document is to describe the process that I used to insert my MG2 (v0.5.1) photo gallery using the default rounded skin into my WordPress (2.0.1) based web site. You can see the final result @ http://okuda.ca/gallery/.

I started with the tutorial at the MG2 support site. Unfortunately, there have been some significant changes to how WordPress themes work between 1.5 and 2.0 so that was only used as a guideline. In some cases my process was slightly easier and there were some new steps to follow.
