If you’d like to participate in the plugin development feel free to contact me, I’ll be glad to share some thoughts and guide you into the current development stage..

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?

Installation & Settings

2. Go to ‘Settings’ -> ‘Interactive Video’ to setup the Interactive Video plugin

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

Faq

When I try to activate the plugin I get the message : “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
This problem could happened if you have a low memorylimit in your php environment and a lot of plugins installed. For a simple test deactivate all other plugins and try then to activate Flash Album Gallery again.

I get the message “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxx bytes exhausted” or get the “Error: Exceed Memory limit.”. What does this means ?
This problem could happened if you have a low memorylimit in your php environment or you have a very large image (resolution, not size). The memory limit sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. You can either lower the resolution of your images or increase the PHP Memory limit (via iniset, php.ini or htaccess). If you didn’t know how to do that, please contact your web hoster.

Read as startup http://codeasily.com/wordpress-plugins/flash-album-gallery/flag-review/

When writing a page/post, you can use the follow shortcode:

[album gid=x name=”Album_Name” w=width h=height] – (example: [album gid=1,3,5,6 name=”New Year 2009″ w=100% h=400] )

Description

The NextGEN widgets only allow showing of single images, I needed a solution to show links to galleries, so I wrote this widget. The widget lets you specify the following parameters

• Maximum Galleries: the number of galleries you want to show
• Gallery Order: you can select random, date added ascending or date added descending
• Gallery Thumbnail: which image should be taken as thumbail in the sidebar (preview set in NGG, first or random image)
• AutoThumb parameters: if you got AutoThumb installed, the widget will use its functions to resize the image to your needs. Use a string like w=80&h=80&zc=1 here to show 80×80 square thumbnails.
• Output width/height: if you don’t use AutoThumb, the plugin will set the HTML attributes width & height.
• Default Link Id: the widget assumes that you set up pages for each gallery and link the gallery to that page (you can use the NGG Gallery Editor to do this). If a gallery has no link set, it will use the default link (id of a page or post).

Installation

1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. No need since we will activate the plugin for you.
2. Use the widget in the widget editor.
