Easiest way to add Flickr to Drupal

Joined: 04/22/2008

First things first, I'm a total Drupal n00b. Never touched it before last weekend, but now I'm hooked and trying to setup a website for my church. One thing I'd like to do is figure out a way to somehow integrate our photosets from flickr into the website. I could always just provide a link to the flickr site, but I was hoping there was a way to integrate it in so people can browse and view the photos without actually going to flickr.

Another option is to cut flickr out of the equation altogether. if it would be easier to upload the photos somewhere else and use a different module that would work better, feel free to suggest that instead.

Thanks so much guys.

embeding

One easy way to embed a flickr slideshow is to use this website:

http://flickrslidr.com/

It will provide the proper iframe code to have it display on a drupal node (make sure you have the input format set as full html).

Thanks Matt, I'll look into

Thanks Matt, I'll look into it.

P.S. Once again, the conference was awesome. I'm taking a proposal to my church this week and my goal is to have a semi decent drupal site up and running for the church by the end of August.

Help configuring Flickr drupal module

I've installed the drupal module you listed, but have a question about configuring it to show up the way I want. I've enabled the module and enabled the block I want, but where I'm running into trouble is telling it which pages I want the block to show up. I see at the bottom of the block config page that it gives me the option to have the block show only on the listed pages. What I'm not sure of is how to list the pages I want. I tried putting in a page title, I tried putting in the clean URL of the page, but no matter what I seem to do it doesn't show up. If I tell it to display on every page it shows up fine, but if I choose to have it only display on the listed pages then it just doesn't show up anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

*UPDATE*

I figured it out, it needed the non clean url path. I was putting "about-us" and it wanted "node/4". Slowly but surely I'm figuring this stuff out :)

Not working anymore!

I had the code working for the past couple of months, and now, none of my Flickr galleries work using this code. I don't know what happened, the example on the page flickrslidr.com does not even show up!

If anybody knows about this and has a solution, i would be happy to ear it!

Thanks

Oh! Problem seems to be in Firefox only

The slideshow (either on my pages or on flickrslidr.com) does not load on Firefox, but loads ok in IE (only tried IE8).

Anybody got ideas?
