Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Nice module, looks very handy!
I'd like a way to link back to the home page of a set instead of an individual photo, using the primary photo in the set as the image (or any image in the set). This is nice because it shows all the photos in the set with links to the slideshow for the set. Knowledgable people can figure out how to get to the set home page from a photo in the set, but it takes an extra jump, and if a photo is in more than one set you can't tell what set was intended as the destination.
I think this would just take some jiggering of the regex to see if set info is in the url and add a 'link to set' option. Since that's something that's sort of Flickr-specific, not sure how you factor it out into the general code, though.

karens commentedWe should move this over to the new module...

robloachThis is a neat idea, but would it make more sense as a CCK Field part of the Flickr Module though?

aaron commentedi've been giving some though to how to do something more with the links, for just this sort of instance. so yes, flickr would need to handle it specifically (and i'm also in the middle of integrating webshots -- i've had to correspond with them for api issues). my main concern is the ui for this, both in admin screens and editing screens. i'm open to any suggestions of how to handle that.
you might want to look also at an earlier module i wrote -- Flickr CCK -- that works with photosets. also, look at Views Slideshow, which i wrote this week, that might tie in somehow. finally, i'm excited about the Actions module, and am brainstorming how all of these modules might tie into that, or if they need to.

aaron commentedOk, I'll be doing this one next week. Look for emfield_import_sets.module in the contrib folder when done -- this will be a generic solution, for any provider that has sets (flickr, youtube, etc).
The admin/editor will have a screen to import sets to otherwise blank content type nodes of the allowed types. They'll be able to specify a photoset with a url, and after submit, a number of nodes (either unlimited or to a set number, according to settings) will be created, grabbing titles from the content.
I'll give a more detailed write-up later, design the UI, and write the module early next week.
