Mod Flickr 
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.
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.
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.
