Plugin that allows you to show your Flickr Photostream in your blog.
Awesome thumbnails disposition with a justified grid, calculated by a fast Javascript algorithm called Justified Gallery.
You can configure the height of the rows to have a grid that can be like the justified grid of Flickr or of Google+. But, you can do more! For example you can configure the margin between the images, or decide if you want to justify the last row or not!
You can configure the plugin to create rows with fixed height, or to create rows where the height depends on the bigger images.
You can decide if you want the captions, to show the titles of the photos, they appear when the mouse is over the photo.
You can configure a gallery to show photos with a link to Flickr or with a Lightbox (you must have a Colorbox plugin installed).
You can configure the maximum number of photos per page, then, you can navigate between various pages. Or if you want, you can show only the latest photos.
The plugin chooses the right resolution for the image, using the “Flickr size suffixes”, no small images are resized to be bigger and no very big images are resized to be very smaller!
The plugin is available in English and Italian.
Remember that this plugin is not an official Flickr® plugin, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Future improvements
In the future I’ll release another plugin, based on this one, with a different name, that can show photos, sets, albums and group.
Screenshots
- Upload the folder
flickr-photostreamto the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Configure the plugin settings through the ‘Settings > Flickr Photostream’ page.
- Create a page with the shortcode
[flickrps](you can add attributes in this shortcode, to have settings that are different than the default)
I cant figure out ho to fill in the api box in settings. anyone else have this problem? when I click on the api link in the plugin settings it takes me to the “ap Garden” I have no idea what to do next or how to fill in the box.
Thank you for your help!
Jeff
After you click on the link you will be redirect in the Flickr’s App Garden. In this page you can manage your apps in general, but to create a new key you must manage your key clicking on the link “API Keys”. I’ll modify this link in the future to be simpler to understand.
Thanks Miro! I got it now. Thanks also for creating this plugin—it is the most attractive flickr gallery I’ve found (and I’ve looked around a lot!) Question: in the change log it notes “Support for multiple gallery instances” My goal is to apply a unique photo stream to individual pages on a single site. Is this possible, and if so can you provide me with the steps? In other words how would I change the shortcode on the separate pages and apply the appropriate API key and user ID? Thanks again! Jeff
Yes, as I reply you in the email, you can have multiple instance changing the “user_id” attribute in the shortcode. Thank you again Jeff!
Great job! This is far more attractive than other Flickr plugins I’ve tried. Any plans to keep expanding it? I would love to see a version that allows targeting of specific collections. Again, good work!
Yes, this is just what I want to do in the future. the main features are focused to show the photostream, but I’ll improve it to show specific collections and sets.
Скажите, как получить Flickr API Key? В ссылке API Keys меня просят создать свое приложение, а как получить свой ключ, чтобы использовать атрибуд? И объясните пожалуйста по подробнее как создать страницу с shortcode [flickrps]?
I’ll change the settings to be more clear.
Miro, this is great stuff! When do you expect to be able to display photos by album or group?
Thanks, Andrew
I’ll do this too because a lot of people tell me the same thing. It’s simple to expand to show the album and group. I think I’ll change the name of the plugin because the project is focused to show the photostream (as its name says).
This is a brilliant plugin exactly what I’ve been looking for. If you can add in the ability to select set in the shortcode then it’ll be perfect. Keep up the good work.
Hello! Great gallery!
I, too, am looking into creating multiple galleries using multiple flickr photostreams. How is this possible?
I can’t find the shortcodes anywhere.
Thanks!
use the user_id attribute that allow you to show photostream of different users.
wow this one looks good. but how can I set for example to preview a stream of specific “flickr set” photos?
In this moment it isn’t possible, in the future I’ll work to a new version in wich you can show galleries, sets and so on…
I really love your work! I can’t wait for the set-feature, keep up the good work!
So close to perfect. I just need to be able to show photos from a specific set, then I’ll be happy
This is a great plugin, but how do I get it to display in the same order as in the set on Flickr? I had organized the images the way I want to appear from left to right, but when it is displayed on our website, it is out of order.
