Photo Album Configuration

This plugin will retrieve your Flickr photosets and display them as albums on a page within this site. This plugin will also allow you to easily add your photos to your blog posts (or pages).

Installation and Usage: Just follow the onscreen prompts to link your photo album to a Flickr account. To insert photos into your posts, just click the Photos tab in the edit screen and then click on a thumbnail.

Important: After you have updated or created a new Flickr set, visit this page to update your photo album's cache with your latest photos. If you are logged in as an administrator, then you should also see a "refresh photos" button in the top right corner of your photo album which does the same thing.

Flickr API Key

Before you can setup your blog to pull in your Flickr photos, you need to get your own Flickr API key.

  1. Apply for your own Flickr API key. If you already have an API key setup, you can use that instead.
  2. After you have your key, click the configuration link to view the details for your new key
  3. Enter your blog's title and a short description.
  4. Change the authentication type to Desktop Application
  5. Save
  6. Now click "edit configuration" again to view the details for newly configured API key and copy and paste the key and shared secret fields into the form below.

    Note that it may take a minute or two to get your key fully activated.
Flickr API Key:
Shared Secret:

getSharedSecret() . "api_key" . $flickr->getAPIKey() . "frob" . $frob . "perms" . $perms); ?>
Flickr Settings

Your Photo Album is not currently linked to a Flickr account.

Step 1:

Login to Flickr and grant read only permissions to this photo album. Once you are done, close the popup window and click the button in Step 2.

Step 2:

Apply the permissions granted in Step 1 to this photo album. This step may take a couple minutes to complete (depending on how many albums you have), since it's also going to pull down your Flickr information.

Note: You can revoke the permissions granted here in your Flickr access control panel.
