Made the mistake of buying the pro version.

Wanted to display thumbs for multiple galleries....doesn't do that. Offered to pay the developer to add this functionality. No response.

"The module isn't designed for the functionality you describe. It only allows thumbnails to be retrieved for one set or gallery at a time. It can show flickr galleries of all sets (thus showing only one thumbnail from each set) but there's no way to make it only show the tumbnail for one particular set then link to that set's thumbnails."

Impossible d'afficher plusieurs galeries d'un classeur, ni plusieurs galeries, ni la galerie complète.. Ce module ne propose qu'une chose l'affichage d'une gallerie simple. c'est exactement le même que Flickr+Highslide mais en payant!

Impossible to show several galleries of a file, neither several galleries, nor the complete gallery.. This module proposes only a thing the display of a simple gallery. It is exactly the same that Flickr+Highslide but by paying!

I can confirm that flickr Galleries do indeed get shown using the pro version of the module.

If you check out the thumbnail demo you will see that it is set up to use the first gallery from my own flickr account (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bulletprooftemplates/galleries/).

You have to set up Galleries in flickr for them to be shown in by the module. This module DOES NOT show images / galleries from your Joomla filesystem.

If you need help to set up the module with your FLICKR Galleries please contact our support department.

I found the module easy to install, configure, and adapt to my needs. I also would LOVE the functionality of displaying a photostream. Definitely think you should include that feature in your next release! Thanks for the effort you've put into this project.

Photostreams Sets and Galleries have now been included in the pro version of the module along with three different layout types: thumbnail list, slideshow and cooliris©

Setup was a breeze, modifying the layout was easy as pie. This is the perfect way to display Flickr images without intruding on your site's layout.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a question, how can I turn the slimbox of since my template is already using shadowbox? When I click on thumbnail two sets of images overlapping.

Hi Zeevee,

Following your review we've updated the module to version 1.5.1

Two new parameters have been added:
1. Use Flickr Module Stylesheet - Allows you to select whether or not to use the flickr module's stylesheet
2. Use Slimbox - Allows you to select whether or not to use the slimbox overlay

Also, the module will now only load the core mootools library if it has NOT already been loaded by the document.

This is the kind of Flickr module I've been looking for. Most other modules are flash based.

I like the simple approach to pulling pics from Flickr with a clean square thumbnail. Two problems I have with this one that make it unusable.

1. You have to assign a set ID. You should be able to simply assign a user ID and pull the most recent pics.

2. For some reason, it lays out the thumbnails in a List and so I get the little bullet dot beside each thumb. So much for clean look. It also generated all the thumbs in one single line in my right module position instead of simply wrapping them and putting them side by side.
Owner's reply

1. I used the set ID approach so that the user can pull specific sets of images from flickr (the client I developed this for required that functionality).
2. The thumbnails are output in a list on purpose. This makes the output easily configurable using a little CSS. If you don't want bullets add this to your CSS file: div.mod_flickr ul {list-style:none;}
If you want the thumbnails to line up next to each other ad this to your CSS file: div.mod_flickr ul li {float:left;}

If the above is too complex I can always add a switch in the module that would allow the user to select whether the thumbnails should float (line up next to each other) or not (line up under each other)

Also because this module uses Joomla 1.5 native code you could always customise the output to suit your needs by using an HTML override in your site's template directory.
