And YES, I do consider feature requests, and that is what makes this plugin work. The discussions are here: Quick Flickr Widget

Oh, and a big shout out to Donncha O Caoimh for his Flickr Widget. Thanks mate!

Installation

1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
2. Check out your sidebar widgets configuration

Faq

PHP or JavaScript?

If you haven’t got any problems with PHP, then use PHP. JavaScript is for those who have hosting issues disallowing them the usage of the filegetcontents function.

I entered my username but the Flickr images aren’t showing up!

Okay. Let’s start off by saying that it’s not your Flickr username that I need (unless you’re using an RSS feed, in which case go ahead and bug me). And it’s not your Yahoo ID! It’s your Flickr screen name (in the Your Account section). Next. Make sure that safe_mode is turned off on your hosting account, cause as far as I know, that disables cross-domain usage, and the only way out is to use javascript or frames, which is rediculous. Now, if that didn’t help, then feel free to bug me on this page: Quick Flickr Widget Cheers!

Screenshots

This is the widget configuration options. As you can see it’s HTML is fully customizable!

This is the output from my Flickr RSS feed in middle size.

Here’s a screenshot of how it look swith the standard wordpress theme and small-sized flickr photos.

Oh. Did I mention that you can switch on the Thickbox effects?

Faq

I installed the plugin, but installation failed after pressing Complete Installation, showing me a text in a red rectangle?
Cause: Either curl / curl functions is disabled on your server or your hosting blocks API calls to the Kaltura servers.

• Solution 1: Enable curl and it’s functions on the server (or have the hosting company enable it for you).
• Solution 2: Remove any blocking of external calls from the server.

I can’t activate the plugin, it presents an error message after clicking Activate on the plugin list
It might be caused due to an old version of PHP. The Kaltura wp plugin is written for PHP4 and PHP5 with the use of classes and static members, these are not supported on earlier versions of PHP. Upgrade to PHP5 / later. If upgrading doesn’t solve this issue or you already have PHP5 on your server, post the error information on the forum and we’ll help you. (http://community.kaltura.org/viewforum.php?f=4). Support for PHP4 was added on version 1.0

You will need to enter a Flickr API key. The settings page has a link to a page where you can apply for a new key.

Usage

Shorcodes

• [flickr-gallery] – Creates a generic gallery for the user you specified in your settings page.
• [flickr]http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancoulter/2619594365/[/flickr] – Inserts the given image. You can also just put the photo ID in there (the numeric string at the end of the link).

Other options

• [flickr-gallery mode=”photoset” photoset=”72157605870230826″] – Displays all of the photos from the given Flickr photoset.
• [flickr-gallery mode=”tag” tags=”foo” tag_mode=”all”] – Shows photos from your photostream with the specified tags (comma separated). If you leave off the tag_mode option, it defaults to “any”.

• [flickr-gallery mode=”interesting”] – Shows interesting photos from your photostream
• [flickr-gallery mode=”search” tags=”foo” group_id=”46862018@N00″] – The search mode supports any arbitrary sort using the options listed here: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photos.search.html
• [flickr size=”small” float=”left”]http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancoulter/2619594365/[/flickr] – Sets the size of the inserted image to “small” (defaults to “medium”) and makes the next paragraph of text wrap around to the right of the image (you can specify “right” for the float parameter as well, which defaults to “none”)
• [flickr height=”300″ width=”400″]http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancoulter/2422361554/[/flickr] – This one is a video. It’ll automatically embed the flash movie for you. If you want to change its size, you can use the width and height options.

Advanced options

If you want to disable pagination, just include pagination=0 in your shortcode.
