Trying to pull Flickr photos in to EE template...not working out
Development and Programming
I’m trying to use Solspace’s Flickr Tools plugin but I obviously don’t know what I’m doing. lol
I know it says that I need a “group” set up, but I cannot get it to work with or without a group. Here is the code I’m using right now that displays nothing:
<ul id="flickr">
{exp:flickr_tools:get_recent group_id="deronsizemore" limit="6"}
<li><a href="http://{image_link}target=flickr" rel="noopener">{image_url}</a></li>
{/exp:flickr_tools:get_recent}
</ul>Can someone point me in the right direction here?
I don’t know how Solspace’s plugin works - but if it pulls from a feed, you need to make sure that Flickr has activated your feed. If your account is new or you haven’t posted many pictures, it may not be activated.
Deron, for the Flickr Tools plugin you have to use your ID, not your username. Head on over to idGettr and then enter the new ID into the plugin. You should be good to go from there.

Hmmm..still no luck. Here’s the code I’m using now to try and pull the flickr photos over.
<ul id="flickr">
{exp:flickr_tools:get_recent group_id="9985942@N04" limit="6"}
<li><a href="http://{image_link}target=flickr" rel="noopener">{image_url}</a></li>
{/exp:flickr_tools:get_recent}
</ul>I know the flickr tools plugin talks about only working with a group? I have not created a group yet as it seemed like something I didn’t want to do. The groups thing was talking about people being allowed to join the group and post their own pictures, etc. Well, I don’t really want anyone else to be able to post pictures except for me, so I didn’t like that idea.
Lets assume I do go ahead and create a group, how do I go about finding that ID? Or should it be the same as what the ID Getter site gave me?
Thanks
UPDATE:
I got my flickr images to work finally, but I did it without using the flickr_tools plugin. It was actually an even easier method brought to you by Veerle
