api key not found...

Description

I followed all the instructions in the readme. downloaded and copied ie7 - 2.0 (beta 3) to the module folder.

Enabled the module. I see there is a flickr image insert link when I create content and a popup opens when I click this link..

If I search for a user or a tag, after a few minutes I get this message in another error window - "Invalid API key" (key not found). I thought that this must be the flickr API key (used in the flickr module) and checked that I had an API key, I did have.

Since the readme didn't mention anything about an API key, I'm confused if the message means anything else..

Can you please help...

Agreed. I've encountered the same problem. Mind you, I'm new to Drupal in general and Deadwood-ed it for my Drupal core (6.4). Installing the Flickr module and entering the API key and everything didn't help. Anyone have any success stories and tips?

I also have the same problem. Has anyone found a solution?

For anyone who cares, you need to add your api key to the code on line 308

return variable_get('flickrstickr_flickrkey', '[enter your api key here]');

MedicSean37 - your fix worked for me.. but this seems like a band-aid solution

anyone out there know what's going on?

assuming you figured it out already, but future ones who stumble upon this page. Open the .module file and find that line of code.
