Finally, I have everything installed and setup (i think) modules, API codes, auth, callback etc etc.

Anyway, I cannot for the life of me get any photos from flickr to pop up in light box.

For example, http://rentblueproperties.com/?q=node/17

Here is my test page, When I enter the flickr url I just get a standard photo embedded on my page with the flickr tags on it.

I can get links to pop up in lightbox, but when that happens I get no picture in the lightbox.

The lightbox is there, but wont get pictures.

When I do get pictures, they are straight embedded - no lightbox.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Another thing I just noticed, the flicker photos that DO get embedded dont even show up when I am logged out, so you guys wont see those.

I dont get it?

Suspect you need something that makes Flickr images and Lighbox play together. Dumping code into the body might do this...

#1 Use CCK (content construction kit) and Embedded Media Field. If you want to add Flickr photosets, add the Media:Flickr module.

#2 Use CCK, Flickr module and the filefield/imagefield (imagefield needs filefield to work).

Images not showing up when not logged-in - check to see if permissions (under users) allows everyone to see content and images.

I have #2 Installed, both filefield and imagefield which is why I am confused it wont work, I changed permissions so you can see them now.

ETA: I just installed embed field and media flickr (activated them, nothing missing), and still cannot get it to work.

Is there such a thing as too many modules? haha, im a noob, sorry.

There's a good book called Drupal Multimedia that'll get you working with Embedded Media Field...

Here's a tutorial on using Flickr, Embedded Media Field and FeedAPI to bring images into Drupal. It's probably a bit advanced, but might help to pick through it.

And there's a good screencast on Embedded Media Field here (also a great, great source of Drupal tutorials):
