A WordPress Flickr Plugin?
Anyone know good Flickr plugin for WordPress? - shouldn’t be too difficult to put a set into a sidebar, now that the Flickr API has firmed up a bit.
At the moment, I just can’t find one that does the job 100% - there’s enough around that do half the job. Several of them use installed modules to parse the RSS into an array and with the PHP 4/5 tangle still present, this means PHP5 only, and the SimpleXML module.
Probably be better to use a supplied XML2Array function, just to make sure everyone is on the same page, as it were - again, there are enough of these around. At least most people can get some use out of file_get_contents nowadays.

There’s this one here - Flickr plugin
I got it off weblogtools collection. It uses the Lightbox 2 plugin as well

Already tried this plugin - again, it is a PHP5 only deal, with SimpleXML, it also throws an error to output if there’s no RSS found, ie you’ve put in an incorrect userid or set_id, which shouldn’t be difficult to fix at all.

flickrRSS was just upgraded to version 4.0 to acommodate the new api options…

Thanks for that - sorry for sounding a bit picky, I did try out flickrRSS, the mapgie/snoopy puts in a lot of overhead, which may or not matter considering the speed of flickr in the first place…

I’m happy with flickr’s own “badge”. However, for wordpress, do not use the flash version of flickr badge, It’s not working within wordpress.
Just generate the html code and customize it the way you like. for example, in my blog I’ve inserted this into header.php of my theme after playing a bit with number of pictures per row and colors.
Hope it helps,
Zet.
