4. Use a Flickr photo id or just the Flickr page url.
5. Automatically adds a Flickr button to the editor toolbar.
6. Puts phpFlickr files in same directory as amykhar's Flickr Integration hack to avoid conflicts.

2. Upload files in Upload directory to your forum root.

It's typically the last number in the url of your photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/81434493@N00/440545219/

Of course, you can also just put in the full url.

would be cool if you can directly browsing your flickr sets while posting in the WYSIWYG editor.

then just click that Flickr button, you'll see a add-on pane to display all your flickr sets where you can choose and insert specific photos from that set.

Just wondering, in the meantime, could I use something like this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=145402

Development on this mod is temporarily on hold. Please don't lose patience of faith I've just got a lot going on, and the new version of this is an expansion from a bbcode to a full Flickr integration.

hambil - great thanks for this great work!

Can you consider to add the show exif switch to each of the photos retrieved from Flickr?

Means below each photos, there'll be a block showing the EXIF info.

I will be adding that, along with a number of other requested features, when I release this as a full mod. I'm just alert everyone that I haven't forgotten about this, it just may be a couple weeks.

Hey!
Call me 'old fashion' but how can I automatically center the picture on the middle of the thread???

I'm getting this error when rebuilding my post cache:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: handle_bbcode_flickr() in /forum/includes/class_bbcode.php on line 1261

I guess it's nothing to worry about if we're getting a new version shortly.?
