Hi,

Thanks for the module. What exactly is Tag prefix. I'm lost. Any help is appreciated.

I'm glad you like it!

I will see to streamlining the module into using proper Flickr terminology (namespace in this case) once I get my Yahoo/Flickr account hassle sorted out.

The prefix is your arbitrary, site specific word that is used to create the unique tags which your users can mark their pictures with. The full syntax for these tags is <prefix>:<type>-<nid>, so for your personal site you might for example want to use 'Hilal' as tag, to generate tags like hilal:page-1.

Does that answer your question?

Hi,

Thank you for the timely response. I'm a total newb at this. I Still dont fully grasp the whole tag thing. So in order to pull relevant tags from FLICKR the submitter has to wrap certain words within the node in tag code to pull flickr images with the same tags?

Thanks in advance.

Your site has a prefix, your enabled content types has a machine name and your nodes has an id, nid. Put together, they form an unique tag for use on Flickr. If you use Hilal for your site prefix and you create a page node, which recieves node id 1, its Flickr tag is then hilal:page:1. You can then use that tag to mark your Flickr photos and they will then be pulled in to be shown at node/1.

Enable the block that comes with the module, which will show you at each node what its unique Flickr tag is. That might help clear it out further.
