What do I need to do to get Lightbox working with my Flickr images? Since the Flickr module is not yet available for D6, I'm just inserting the pictures manually with and Only local images are allowed. tags.

Sorry about that, I pushed "Post comment" instead of "Preview". The last sentence above should read: "... I'm just inserting the pictures manually with <a> and <img> tags."

Set the anchor link to the image on the flickr site in the anchor (a) tag, and give the img tag the "flickr-photo-img" class name.

For example,

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nescafe/1526130503" title="love message"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2333/1526130503_da1d05dc83_m.jpg" alt="love message" title="love message"  class=" flickr-photo-img" height="160" width="240" /></a>

And then just ensure you have the automatic image handling for flickr images.

Cheers,
Stella

That worked (but you knew it would)!

Sorry, I'm also looking for a possibility to enter flickr images in drupal 6. You said, that "automatic image handling for flickr images" is necesary for doing that. Is this a module? I haven't found anything useful googling for that expression.

Thanks,

bayer.ben: to enter flickr images in D6, you need to use the flickr module (if there's a D6 version available yet) or manually create the links themselves as shown in comment #2 above. The "enable automatic image handling for flickr images" only refers to enabling support for these images for the lightbox module.

Cheers,
Stella
