Flickr module

Flickr

drewish - September 17, 2006 - 06:30

Access photos on Flickr's site via their API. The module provides a filter for inserting photos and photosets and blocks for a user's recent photos and photosets.

This module replaces the old Flickrmodule module. The Flickrhood module is being integrated into this module.

The filter format is:
[flickr-photo:id=230452326,size=s] and [flickr-photoset:id=72157594262419167,size=m]
The size parameter can be one of the following:

  • s - small square 75x75
  • t - thumbnail, 100 on longest side
  • m - small, 240 on longest side
  • - - medium, 500 on longest side
  • b - large, 1024 on longest side
  • o - original image
 

Using Flickr with Drupal

walterbyrd - March 29, 2008 - 15:17

Drupal 5.5. on Debian etch.

I am trying to use Drupal for a family site. At first, I thought that using Drupal's Flicker integration would be a great way to share photo.

But it seems that most of the Flickr modules are broken. And the ones that do work seem to be too difficult to use.

For example, being able to insert a flickr image seemed great. Until I found out that to do so, required putting something like this in the content: [flickr-photoset:id=72157594262419167,size=m].

No way in this world is that going to make sense to my 70 year old mother.

As far as I tell, there is no way to for people to add photo to the flickr gallery from drupal.

Should I give up on flickr integration, or am I missing something?

Embed field

Embedded Media Field

Maintainers: aaron (Aaron Winborn) and Alex UA (Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg)

This extensible module will create fields for node content types that can be used to display video, image, and audio files from various third party providers. When entering the content, the user will simply paste the URL or embed code from the third party, and the module will automatically determine which content provider is being used. When displaying the content, the proper embedding format will be used.

The module is only an engine, and requires a supported module to function. These include 'Embedded Image Field', 'Embedded Video Field' and 'Embedded Audio Field'. These modules are included in the contrib folder of the module, so they can be easily activated from the module administration page.

*************************************

A development version of emfield has been released for Drupal 6. Please be aware that this version is not yet fully functional and is posted for testing purposes only. For more information on the status of the emfield Drupal 6 port please take a look at the following issue thread:
http://drupal.org/node/177027

*************************************

The Embedded Image Field module currently supports Flickr, Imageshack, Picassa and Photobucket images. It creates a field that you can paste the url from, for instance, a Flickr photo into, which will then display that photo in a configurable size, with a link either to the node or to the original page from Flickr.

The Embedded Video Field module already supports YouTube, Google, Revver, MySpace, MetaCafe, JumpCut, BrightCove, SevenLoad, iFilm, Blip.TV, Daily Motion, and Live Video video formats. More are planned to be supported soon. An api allows other third party video providers to be supported using simple include files and provided hooks. (Developers: examine the documentation of /providers/youtube.inc for help in adding support for new providers).

The Embedded Audio Field module supports third party audio content, such as from Odeo, Podcast Alley, and podOmatic.

The administer of a site may decide whether to allow all content providers, or only a certain number of them. They may further be limited when configuring the field.

Embedded Media Import is forimporting photosets, playlists, and the like. If you install that module, admins will have the ability to import photosets from Flickr as individual nodes (Currently, the module only supports Flickr). Just make sure the 'Allow import' checkbox on the content type (which must have a field defined with Embedded Media Field) is checked, proper permissions are given to editors, and look at the settings on the new tab at /admin/content/emfield/import.

When importing (at the new menu item: emimport -- 'Import Media Sets'), select the type you want to import content into. On the next page, paste the URL of the photoset you wish to import, click 'Parse', and you will then see thumbnails of all the items from that set. Uncheck any you wish, override titles/body/tags you wish, and click 'Import'. In a bit (which might take some time, depending on the size of the set), you will have some new nodes, complete with descriptions, titles, and tags (if you set a freetag vocabulary on the settings page).

The Embedded Media Thumbnail module will allow editors to override the thumbnails of videos with their own, with a simple upload field. Activate the module, then check the new box in any defined video fields to allow custom thumbnails.

Read the README.txt files in the individual contrib folders for more information.

Author: Aaron Winborn
Development Began 2007-06-13
Requires: Drupal 4.7 or 5, Content (CCK)
Optional: Views
Other modules that work with Emfield: FeedAPI/FeedAPI Element Mapper (click here for instructions for importing Embedded Video Feeds), Media Actions, Asset, & Lightbox2.

**************

Future enhancements: support for more providers (definitely), allow imported descriptions to be put into something besides node->body (probably), multiple pages for import (to break up large sets) (slightly possibly).

Update Note: If you are updating from 5.x-1.0 you must delete emfield\contrib\video_cck\providers\ifilm.inc. If any files stop working after you update, please go to admin/content/node, select all nodes that have embedded media fields and select "reload embedded media data".

This module is an AJAX based solution to easily insert your Flickr photos into your posts.
It displays Flickr photos as thumbnails in a bar across the bottom of your node post form. Clicking on the thumbnail of a photo you want to use will then automatically insert the proper HTML snippet into your post. If you have tinyMCE enabled on a textarea you can click and drag an image into the textarea.

Features:
* search for photos based on Flickr user and / or tags without leaving the edit screen
* photos are loaded in the background via AJAX
* click on a thumbnail to automatically insert it into your post
* drag a thumbnail into tinyMCE-enabled textareas
* integration with lightbox2 module which uses lightbox to "pop out" larger pictures onto the web browser
* tested with Firefox 1.5, IE 1.6, Opera 8.5

This module was written by Elek Márton and sponsored by Development
Seed (http://www.developmentseed.org)

Aron Novak added to the current version several usability improvements and features, including:
* click and drag into tinyMCE
* scroll through your photos 10 at a time (paging)
* lightbox2 integration
* docking and floating capability of the iframe to allow inserting into textareas not visible on the screen

Wim Mostrey upgraded the module to Drupal 5 and improved the GUI.
