<p>flickpress adds a button to the post editor to find and insert Flickr photos into WordPress posts. Add Flickr users by entering their usernames or email addresses. Previously-entered Flickr users are stored in a database table that can be managed at Tools:flickpress. Search for users’ photos by keyword or browse tags, photosets, favorites, or recent photos. You can also search for Creative Commons, Flickr Commons, and government photos. Click through to a photo to insert a variety of sizes, adding a variety of caption information if desired.</p>
<h3>Widget</h3>
<p>The widget just packages the template function in convenient widget form. To use it, activate it through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress and add it to your sidebar through the ‘Widgets’ menu. It requires some things in the main plugin, so you’ll need to have both activated.</p>
<p>Just like with the template function, you may specify a class for the images, and text (such as HTML tags) to display before and after each image. Some tips:</p>
<ul>
<li>For a horizontal display, put nothing or just spaces before and after.</li>
<li>For a vertical display, either use <code><p></code> before and <code></p></code> after or just a <code><br /></code> after.</li>
<li>Many themes include a class called “aligncenter” that should center your images in the sidebar.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Lightbox Support</h3>
<p>There are a couple of different ways to enable lightbox support for images inserted with flickpress.</p>
<p>The easiest way is to just turn on ThickBox in the settings. This will add the necessary bits to your inserted images and add the necessary JavaScript to your theme for a simple lightbox.</p>
<p>Another fairly easy method is to turn on the Custom lightbox option in the settings and install a lightbox plugin that automatically recognizes lightboxable image links. The Lightbox Plus plugin has worked for me with this method, and has lots of customization options.</p>
<p>Finally, you could set it up completely manually: turn on the Custom lightbox option in the settings, enter a class or rel, then add your own lightbox JavaScript to your theme.</p>
<h3>Template Function</h3>
<p>There is a simple template function available for use in your sidebar or other spots you’d like to include a few recent flickr photos. The function, its options, and the defaults are:</p>
<pre><code>if (function_exists('flickpress_photos')) flickpress_photos($email,$numphotos=3,$before='',$after='<br />',$fpclass='centered');<h3>Notes</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>This plugin is really just a wrapper for Dan Coulter’s excellent phpFlickr library ( <a href="http://phpflickr.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://phpflickr.com/</a> ). Using more than one plugin based on the library can cause conflicts, so I renamed the class in the library included with flickpress. I also edited (maybe broke!) the database cache code, so if you’re considering creating a plugin based on flickpress I highly recommend getting the latest official version of phpFlickr instead of using this modified version.</p>


flickpress

flickpress is a tool to find Flickr photos and insert them into your posts, plus a widget to display recent Flickr photos.

<p>This plugin allows you to embed your own or others photosets and galleries directly into your WordPress site. This plugin was designed to create a cleaner and simpler interface, both in administration and the frontend of the site.</p>
<p>The only task that has to be completed to use this plugin is to get a API key from Flickr. Afterwards it is as simple as plugging in options to generate the widget or to create shortcodes that can be placed on any page or post within your wordpress site.</p>
<p>To create a shortcode first click ‘Create Shortcode’ and enter the various options for the photoset or gallery. Make sure to use the right ‘ID’ format (see FAQ’s) based on whether you are adding a photoset or gallery. Click ‘Save New Shortcode’ and then copy and paste the shortcode into where you want it to appear within your site. For the widget the instructions are the same except for the copy and pasting part, of course.</p>
<p>Features Include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hide or show title of photoset or gallery</li>
<li>Choose between small or medium thumbnails for shortcode embeds</li>
<li>Cache photo data to prevent Flickr API calls each time a page is generated</li>
<li>Random or from the top photo thumbnail selection</li>
<li>Link photos to either Flickr or a lightbox (Magnific Popup plugin included, if needed)</li>
<li>Choose to hide photo captions or not</li>
<li>Set photoset / gallery alignment to either left, right, or center</li>
<li>Set color of photo highlights</li>
</ul>
