The Flickr API plugin provides tools for displaying your flickr galleries, sets, photostream or favourites and more using a shortcode in posts and pages or as a widget. You can choose the size of image you want, whether it should be linked to another image size or back to flickr or not linked at all, how many images to show and more…
There are some built in options for displaying your images as a simple slideshow or using the Galleria jquery plugin. Alternatively you can choose to style the output yourself and use your own javascript.
For developers the plugin also gives you an easy method for calling and caching API responses both in PHP and javascript, and lots of useful tools for working with those responses.
<h4>Usage</h4>
You will need to get an API key from flickr to use this plugin. Under the ‘You’ menu look for ‘Your Apps’. Click to get a key and then go to the media settings screen to add your API key and user name. The plugin will automatically determine your NSID so you never need to look this up.
To use the plugin either generate a shortcode using the media upload/insert button and selecting what you want to get or use the Flickr widget provided.
<h4>For developers</h4>
The plugin exposes its methods for your use in themes as template tags but the main one you may find useful is <code>flickr_api()</code>. This is a general function for calling any API method with the parameters you specify.
<pre><code><?php
$response = json_decode( flickr_api( $method, $params, $cache ) );
?>
</code></pre>
All responses are in JSON format so you will need to use <code>json_decode()</code> to use the response in PHP.
<pre><code>@param $method: (string) This is the API method to call
@param $params: (array) Additional arguments to pass into the call such as user_id, photoset_id, gallery_id, text, tags etc...
@param $cache : (bool) Whether or not to cache the response based on the arguments passed in
</code></pre>
You can use the API via javascript as well:
<pre><code><script>
var photos = flickr_api( method, params, cache );
</script>
</code></pre>
NSID lookup:
<pre><code><?php
$nsid = flickr_get_user_nsid( $username );
?>
</code></pre>
Just pass in the Flickr username of the person to get the NSID for.
<h4>Filters/Hooks</h4>
flickr_galleria_themes
You can enable the choice of custom or purchased galleria themes by extending the themes array. Useful if you want your theme to have a choice of galleria theme beyond the ‘classic’ style.
<pre><code><?php
add_filter( 'flickr_galleria_themes', 'my_galleria_themes' );
function my_galleria_themes( $themes ) {
 $themes[ /* full or relative url to theme js file */ ] = __( 'Theme Name' );
 return $themes;
}
?>
</code></pre>

On the one hand, PiwigoPress is a WordPress Sidebar Widget that links 
your blog to some public pictures of a Piwigo gallery. Thus, a Piwigo 
gallery with several public pictures in it is a prerequisite to make it 
working. But even if you don’t have one yet, you can nonetheless give this 
plugin a try by using the Official Piwigo <a href="http://piwigo.org/demo/" title="The demonstration gallery" rel="nofollow ugc">demonstration gallery</a> before 
setting up your own gallery.
PiwigoPress generates several highly valuable links in sidebars of your 
WordPress blog, all of them being optional: a thumbnail linking to 
the corresponding picture page, menus directing to all albums defined 
as public in the gallery, several additional links to most recent, most 
viewed, most commented pictures, and more.
On the other hand, by using a shortcode [PiwigoPress …] you can add 
any public picture of a Piwigo gallery. Here again you should try even 
though you don’t have yet your Piwigo Gallery. Have a look with 
[PiwigoPress id=72 url=’http://piwigo.org/demo’] in a post or page.
Above all, PiwigoPress provides a shortcode generator. Each time you 
add some pictures to your gallery you will be able to add a post related 
to your last uploaded photos. So, your friends and family are going to 
like your photos and Search Engines are going reference your gallery with 
the refbacks provided by PiwigoPress.
When you’ve finished testing and want to create you own gallery, go to the 
Piwigo <a href="http://piwigo.org/basics/downloads" title="Piwigo download page" rel="nofollow ugc">download page</a>, where you’ll find all the links you might need.
Try “NetInstall” first. If it fails, switch to the “Package” download and 
follow the full installation procedure. When ready, if you are a bit lost, 
just try Photos add page sheets (Web form, Applications, FTP + Synchronization) 
in your Piwigo gallery administration page.
Development of PiwigoPress is open to contributions, please use the 
<a href="https://github.com/norbusan/piwigopress" rel="nofollow ugc">github page</a> for patches, bug reports, and issues.
