## Description
This plugin allows you to easily display Flickr photos on your site and using the
Flickr API doesn’t limit you to
the standard 20 photos. It supports user, set,
favorite, group and public photostreams.
The plugin is relatively easy to setup and configure via an options panel.
It also
has support for an image cache located on your server.
### Feedback and Support
For API problems you can visit the plugin page (http://malton-webdesign.co.uk/flickrapi)
### Advanced
The plugin also supports a number of parameters, allowing you to have multiple instances
across your
site.
1. `'type' => 'user'` – The type of Flickr images that you want to show. Possible
values: ‘user’,
‘favorite’, ‘set’, ‘group’, ‘public’
2. `'api' => ''` – Optional but the point
of the plugin! 2. `'tags' => ''` – Optional: Can be used with type = ‘user’ or ‘
public’, comma separated 3. `'set' => ''` – Optional: To be used with type = ‘set’
4. `'id' => ''` – Optional: Your Group or User ID. To be used with type = ‘user’
or ‘group’ 5. `'do_cache' => false` – Enable the image cache 6. `'cache_sizes' =
> array('square')` – What are the image sizes we want to cache locally? Possible
values: ‘square’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘small’, ‘medium’ 7. `'cache_path' => ''` – Where
the images are saved (server path) 8. `'cache_uri' => ''` – The URI associated to
the cache path (web address) 9. `'num_items' => 4` – The number of images that you
want to display 10. `'before_list' => ''` – The HTML to print before the list of
images 11. `'html' => '
'` –
the code to print out for each image.
Meta tags available: %flickr_page%, %title%,%
image_small%, %image_square%, %image_thumbnail%,
%image_medium%, %image_large%
12. `'default_title' => "Untitled Flickr photo"` –
the default title 13. `'after_list' => ''` – the HTML to print after the list of
images
**Example 1**
```
get_flickrAPI(array('num_items' => 36,
'type' => 'group',
'tags' => '',
'id' => '12325216@N00',
'api' => '3370ecbd3e604245581eb4955fd6xxxx')); ?>
```
This would show the 36 most recent group photos
**Example 2**
```
get_flickrAPI(array('num_items' => 30,
'type' => 'user',
'tags' => '',
'id' => '10529805@N00',
'api' => '3370ecbd3e604245581eb4955fd6xxxx')); ?>
```
This would show the 30 most recent thumbnail sized photos from the specified user’s
set.
**Example 3**
```
get_flickrAPI(array('num_items' => 30,
'type' => 'public',
'text' => '',
'tags' => '',
'api' => '3370ecbd3e604245581eb4955fd6xxxx')); ?>
```
This would show the 30 most recent photos from all of FLickr.
