New plugin on the market - Flickr Images. Just like you'd expect, it pulls images from Flickr and displays in a menu list. Clicking on a menu item shows the image full-size. Required properties include: flickerApiKey (see http://www.flickr.com/services/api/) flickrType (“Photoset”, “Gallery”, or “Search”) searchString (can be id of a Photoset or Gallery, or a string to search by) Available for iOS 2.0, 3.0, and Android 2.0. Android 3.0 support coming soon.

Note: until the config_cp.txt file is working properly, you'll have to manually add in the required properties listed above.

Nice!

Sweet! Works with groups?

I don't think so. I'll have to take another look, but I seem to remember them not being supported well by the Flickr api

Just took a quick look at the API on my phone, and looks like groups are supported. I think the issue was that groups weren't going to be helpful for what I was trying to do when I made this, so I didn't include them. I'll be sure to add support soon.

Thanks Chris. It's raining great plugins!! Farcat

Okay - just added support for Flickr Groups

Can you please provide a screenshot to exactly where the api code goes? I noticed that new feature of json is utilized but this plugin is a bit confusing :( Thanks

I am having trouble to. I created a flickr app. I have the api key i put into the control panel and then when i pull up the menu on the app it is a white screen. The plug in is in xcode. xcode says Cr_flickr: 0 pictures found

@Sheri - there's a section on the control panel labeled "Flickr API Key". @Fred - can you send me your debug output so I can see what's going on?

According to the API URL: http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.galleries.getPhotos&api_key=478842fc2d5e4fe931352146c74750d2&gallery_id=478842fc2d5e4fe931352146c74750d2&format=json&nojsoncallback=1 Your Gallery ID is invalid. Is it a Gallery you're trying to use?

I just realized that i didnt have a gallery set up but i tried it for a photo set which i do have set up and still just a white screen.

What happens when you copy the API URL from the debug output and paste it into a browser?

This is so cool i got it. Ok it was not obvious there is a photo set id, gallery id ect. The id was found in the url of the photo set it self. But now it works great! thanks for the quick speedy response chris. Here is an example url http://www.flickr.com/photos/91246276@N06/sets/72157639119015356/ id = 72157639119015356

Great! Glad it's working
