Integrate a Flickr gallery on your website

1302 days
by in Development, Wordpress

FlickrYou own a flickr account and would love to integrate a gallery on your website, might it be into the sidebar or directly into a page. Here is a tutorial to show you how to proceed.

First, you must connect to your Flickr account, and then go to this address (I can’t remember the complete path to go there).

Then, Flickr will give you two options for the generated module. The first one is a pure HTML one, which will allow you to share your pictures to anyone. The second module is Flash based and will give you users a better visual experience but may not be compatible with everybody’s browser (for exemple, iPhone still doesn’t support Flash).

Insert Creative common photos using iFlickr

iFlickr is a wordpress plugin just published by photopreneur and that gives you the possibility to insert photos directly into your posts. But what’s the difference with the “standard” image plugin ?

This plugin simply allows you to search, select and insert photos directly from Flickr. These photos are of course under Creative Common Licence and the plugin will automatically add the right credits to the author. This will enable you to write much nicer posts while respecting copyrights.

“All” you need is a blog hosted and served by a PHP5 server, a Flickr API key and WordPress 2.5 at least.

Here is what it looks like in the write post window :

Seen on Lifehacker:

Flickrfs is a filesystem plugged into fuse allowing to manage your flickr account directly through your system, without connecting to the application, running under GNU/Linux. In fact, it allows you to browse your tags, sets, etc, like any folder on your computer. The differences being, it’s your flickr account.

Any photo located in these folders have a metafile attached to them containing keywords, title, description, licence, etc…, for this photo.

Via the configuration file, you can also decide the size of the uploaded photos so that it will automatically resize them before uploading them to flickr’s server. Of course, any modification is immediate and transparently managed.

For more informations, you can go to the documentation.

The only thing left, automatic mounting ;)
