Description
Is it possible to have a random photo from group photo?
I have a website which features pictures from several DJs. I upload photos to my own flickr account and then put them in a group. The other DJs in our collective do the same thing.
Our website has two blocks:
Random photo (which is taken from my own personal collection)
Recent Photos (which is taken from the group).
I have found that you can only display 200 photos in a free flickr account, but unlimited in a group. I have a workflow of upload 200 photos, then putting them all in the group, then uploading 200 more photos. This allows for all 400 photos to appear in the group.
It would be great if we could display random photos from the group instead of my personal account.

I concur that it seems pretty arbitrary that there is not a "random photos from group" block by default provided by this module, or an option in the block settings for the "flickr group photos" to display recent or random photos from the group.
Alternately, the flickr module could expose flickr content to views in the way that the twitter module does, and then a user could build their own blocks with views.
