Media: Flickr

#D7CX: I pledge that Media: Flickr will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.

The Media: Flickr project currently offers Flickr Photoset capabilities to the Embedded Media Field module, upon which this module is dependent. To use it, enable the Embedded Video Field module, and add a Third Party Video field to a content type. For Thumbnails, you'll also need to apply for a Flickr API key.

After that, editors will be able to paste a URL or the embed code for a Flickr Photoset page or Slideshow into the field, and it will be displayed automatically. Additionally, that URL will be parsed automatically, so the module will know the difference between a Flickr Photoset URL and that of another supported provider, such as a YouTube video.

Drupal 6

Configuration:

--------------------

(1) After you install the Embedded Media Field and Media: Flickr modules, go to your admin configuration (http://[www.yoursite.com]/admin/content/emfield) and set the "Flickr API" values under Images or Videos tab > "Flickr configuration". Note: You need to create your Flickr API key and secret from your account on Flickr.

(2) Now when you create your Content Type and add the "Embedded Image" and/or "Embedded Video" field(s), you will need to fill out additional settings. In the "Providers Supported" fieldset area, check the "Custom URL" and "Flickr". Save the field settings.

Content Creation:

----------------

(3) If you want a single image from Flickr, then use the "Embedded Image" CCK field.

Example Flickr URL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thusthought/5156938698/in/set-7215762522081...

(4) If you want to use a set from Flickr, then use the "Embedded Video" CCK field.

Example Flickr URL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thusthought/sets/72157625220814125/show/

Drupal 7

The Drupal 7 version of the module requires the Media module. It currently only supports Flickr photos. However, it plugs in rather nicely, with fields and WYSIWYG.
