Joomla! Flickr Badge Plugin
What does it do?
Our Flickr Badge Plugin lets you insert images from Flickr directly into your Joomla! content. You can display content related images using a tag, one of your Flickr Sets or just randomly. It's so easy you'll wonder how you lived without it.
The Demo
To demonstrate the Flickr Badge Plugin I have created a slideshow of images covering the days I wrote this plugin. The images displayed are created using the string shown in the box below.{flickrbadge?id=50566068@N00&set=72157594472037332&count=4&link=See the Snow Slideshow}
How do I use it?
The Flickr Badge Plugin works just like any other Joomla Content Plugin. Once installed it's as simple as adding the text {filckrbadge} into your content. This will then display 5 randomly selected images directly from Flickr. For more control over the images that are shown see the options below.Using a Tag
By adding ?tag= and then a single word you can limit the images displayed to only those that have been tagged by the word provided. In the following example only images with the tag capecode will be shown.{flickrbadge?tag=capecode}
Using Your Flickr ID
By adding ?id= and then your 'Flickr ID' you can limit the images shown to only those that have been added by you. In the following example only images with the 'Flickr ID' 50566068@N00 will be shown.{flickrbadge?id=50566068@N00}
Using Your Flickr ID and a Tag
You can combine both id= and tag= to only display images with your 'Flickr ID' and tagged with the word provided. In the following example only images with the 'Flickr ID' 50566068@N00 and the tag capecode will be shown.{flickrbadge?id=50566068@N00&tag=capecode}
Using Your Flickr ID and a Set ID
You can also use id= and set= to display images with your 'Flickr ID' that belong to the 'Set ID' provided. In the following example only images with the 'Flickr ID' 50566068@N00 and the 'Set ID' 72157594472037332 will be shown.{flickrbadge?id=50566068@N00&set=72157594472037332}
