This module is a provider for instagram picture for the scald module.

  • This module provides Instagram image import inside Scald. It creates a scald provider allowing users to add atoms of type Instagram image.
  • This project includes all the features needed to create atoms directly from Instagram, and then search, reuse them, and simply embed them into your drupal nodes with drag and drop magic provided by Scald
  • .

  • See http://drupal.org/node/1895554 for a list of Scald providers as separate projects for other great providers.

This module provides two ways to embed instagram posts:

  • By default, the picture metadata is imported from Instagram (Title, Autor, Tags), and then the atom is saved as an image media, that can be re-used as a standard image, as if it had been uploaded straight into the Drupal instance. This is great if you want to abstract the import source, and consider Instagram posts to be only an image source.
  • If you want to always display Instagram posts using the instagram embed code, to make them easily recognizable and use all of the Instagram social API (share counts, stars, …), you can set the 'scald_instagram_source_type' variable to the array('instagram') value before installing the module (for example, through drush:

    drush variable-set --format=json scald_instagram_source_type '["instagram"]'

You can also let your site editors add Instagram posts as either standard image or standalone posts at their convenience, by setting the 'scald_instagram_source_type' variable to the array('image', 'instagram') value before installing the module. This is can be usefull if you have an official Instagram channel and you want to import those media as standard image, but also want to let site editors add other instagram posts in their content and let those have full social coverage.

This is a Drupal 7 module only
