Extension:FlickrAPI

The FlickrAPI allows you to embed Flickr images into your wiki. It is intended as a replacement for Extension:Flickr and is mostly backwards-compatible, but note that the globals have changed. It uses the phpFlickr library.

Installation

 * If downloading from git, you must run   from the   directory.
 * You'll need an API key from Flickr. Get it here.

Configuration parameters

 * $wgFlickrAPIKey - Required. Your Flickr API key goes here.
 * $wgFlickrAPISecret - The API secret from Flickr. This is optional and right now it probably doesn't do anything.
 * $wgFlickrAPICache - Set to  to enable caching. This option is highly recommended for better performance. Defaults to   unless $wgMainCacheType is set to   (which is the MediaWiki default). Note that if $wgUseFileCache is set to , the extension will use a file cache. Otherwise it will store the cache in the MediaWiki database.
 * $wgFlickrAPIDefaults - Array that contains the default values for the extension for when the  call does not specify certain options. Defaults to:
