FAQ
- Can I get random images from my stream?
No, it’s a limitation of using the RSS feed (it only contains the most recent photos) - Why can’t I display sets?
Flickr doesn’t provide any rss feeds for sets - How do I refresh the photos manually?
Good question. The plugin uses built-in WordPress functions to update the feed, I haven’t figured out how to force an update. - When I use multiple tags, why does nothing shows up?
The feed will only pull in photos that have both tags, not one or the other.
Advanced
The plugin also supports a number of parameters, allowing you to have multiple instances across your site.
$num_items- how many photos you want to appear$type- specify user, public or group photosream$tags- a comma separated list of tags (with no spaces)$imagesize- square, thumbnail, medium or large$before- html appearing before each photo$after- html appearing after each photo$userid- specify a user id (or group name)
Example 1<?php get_flickrrss(10, “public”, “london,people”); ?>
Example 2<?php get_flickrrss(5, “group”, “”, “thumbnail”, “<li>”, “</li>”, “eightface”); ?>
The first example would show the 10 most recent public photos tagged with london and people. The second would show the 5 most recent thumbnail sized photos from the Eightface group, and each photo would be wrapped in list tags.
