Flickr + Highslide
★★★★
not too bad

Flickr + Highslide
I have tried every single flickr extension (and I do mean EVERY one). This one comes closest to something I can use. Not all the way there, but closest.
You cannot display photos from a group, which would be great. Ideally I could display photos from a group, and also display galleries from individual members within a group. No extension does this yet, so I am assuming it is just something too difficult to do.
But, I can use highslide, all I have to do is get flickr ids from every member of my site, and create a module for each of them...hooray
Like I said, at least it comes close to being what i need.

How can you give this anything BUT 5 stars?

So extremely easy to use and so extremely useful. I am wondering if I can use it to migrate my site from one url to another. Hopefully so, because so far I have had a great experience with it.

Of course you can! In fact, there is no platform ar architecture barrier. You can even take a backup on a 32-bit Windows machine and restore it on a 64-bit Linux server with different MySQL and PHP versions. We tried to make migrating your site a piece of cake. Give it a try and you'll be convinced.

Somewhat buggy when I played with flickr

The interface was amazing, I very much wish I could have used this. It worked great when i displayed all flickr photos for a single flickr member. But when i tried to display a set, only a blank cooliris interface was shown with no pics.
By the way, this is how it is on the boncko site demo too; the same issue of no pics coming up with the demo they are showing to display a set.
I emailed support, hoping they could fix it and I would use it, but then when I decided to switch the article back to showing just the flickr user photos like it was from the start, the blank interface remained. Unfortunately that means this plugin may be a little iffy for what I am trying to do, so i have to go with something else. It really is amazing though which is why I still gave it three stars. Just needs some bugs worked out still

I dont know if it is possible to change a review, but I would like to do so for the review I gave here. Though it was extension problems, the creator has been extremely helpful and fixed the issue for me, so I believe they deserve 5 stars. Dont know if this is possible at all.

Amazingly Useful

I definitely agree with one of the below reviews, this should be included with joomla right from the beginning!

I was having issues with my css files chmod permissions changing every single time I would edit them from the joomla interface, making them un-writable. Now I just use this component, and have no problems at all. Plus it lets you EASILY re write permissions to files just by r-clicking them and changing permissions.

Great, great component

works great

Only problem I had with it was getting it to work in the first place, the instructions are somewhat sparse. My problem was not enabling the plugin after installation, which is in the instructions, but for some reason I did not make the connection. Hopefully this review helps someone else having similar issues though.
