H Erik, are u still supporting this widget? It is a great widget, but recently after I upgraded to wordpress 2.5, it appears that there is a conflit with lightbox. It seems that there is something still loading at the bottom of the page each time the page is opened.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Looks like someone else developed that Flickr widget…sucks.

Amy, I have not investigated what would need to happen to get my plugin accepted for wordpress.com blogs.

This plugin does not use Flickr feeds directly. All it does is load Flickr’s official flash badge, and then the flash application goes to fetch the photos. So there’s nothing to change from RSS to Atom.

Hi Erik, did you also develop the widget for Wordpress.com? It’s great to have such a widget but was not able to get the images to load on my wordpress.com site (although the alt text is coming through). Turns out Flickr is using Atom feeds, not RSS. Any chance of getting the widget to support Atom, too? (Better yet, both)

Nice, but I can’t get it to pull photos based on tags. I get photos not found message

Btw > another flikr: http://www.lukeh.com/ seems to have figured out the random issue. You can select a random option in the way the images are shown.

From what I can tell, that “anotherFlickr” plugin is using a different Flickr API. My plugin is limited to the parameters Flickr allows for the flash badge.

Thanks for reporting back, Paul.

After some tweaking around it works perfectly, with WP-dtree, in widget options… Transition: big then small. That did the trick.

Hi,

It seems that this plugin does not work in combination with WP-dTree 3.3.1. A shame really, because i really like this plugin …

Only to say thanks for your work. The widget rule.
