<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>

<p>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…</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>For developers</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<pre><code><?php
$response = json_decode( flickr_api( $method, $params, $cache ) );
?>
</code></pre>
<p>All responses are in JSON format so you will need to use <code>json_decode()</code> to use the response in PHP.</p>
<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>
<p>You can use the API via javascript as well:</p>
<pre><code><script>
var photos = flickr_api( method, params, cache );
</script>
</code></pre>
<p><strong>NSID lookup:</strong></p>
<pre><code><?php
$nsid = flickr_get_user_nsid( $username );
?>
</code></pre>
<p>Just pass in the Flickr username of the person to get the NSID for.</p>
<h4>Filters/Hooks</h4>
<p><strong>flickr_galleria_themes</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<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>
