Displaying a single photo

  • Print

Displaying a photo on your website with this plugin is relatively simple. All you need is the ID number of the photo or set you want to be displayed. The photo or set ID can be obtained from the URL of the photo resp. set. For instance in:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/universal_playground/6045544098

6045544098 is the Flickr ID of the photo.

Copy the ID from a photo you want to publish on your website. Photo's can be displayed in an article on your website by entering a simple expression like [flickr photo=xxx] (where xxx is replaced by the Flickr photo ID). 

Example: Displaying a photo from flickr on the website using plugin expression code


[flickr photo=6045544098]
results in:

NP Veluwezoom
NP Veluwezoom

The plugin will replace the expression with the photo automatically upon accessing the article on the website. Note that the expression will not be replaced with the photo in the adminstration interface.

 

Additional options

Next to the id of the photo, the plugin allows several attributes to be added to the expression in order to control size, alignment and spacing of the photo .

Size

The plugin allows the following photo sizes, supported by Flickr, to be selected:

  • square
  • largesquare
  • thumbnail
  • small
  • small320
  • medium
  • medium640
  • medium800
  • large
  • original

Example: Displaying a photo with a selected size using the size attribute


[flickr photo=6045544098 size=small]

 

NP Veluwezoom
NP Veluwezoom

(Note that the default size used is one of the plugin parameters and can be set in the admin interface of Joomla).

HTML attributes

 An expression in HTML has several more attributes next to setting size parameters. This plugin supports the Alignment and spacing (ALIGN, HSPACE, VSPACE) in compliance with the HTML standard. The photo on the right is a result of the following expression:


[flickr photo=6045544098 size=small align=right vspace=5 hspace=30]

 

Download button

 The plugin features a download function for the original format of the photo. This option (disabled by default for copyright reasons) can be enabled or disabled in the plugin settins or on a per expression basis using the download attribute.  Please visit this page for an example. 

Note: This option is only available when the original photo format is available on the for the plugin. In most cases this means that the plugin requires to be linked to a flickr pro accaunt, that the plugin is authenticated with that authenticated and that the photos are from the linked account.
