Extension:ImportFreeImages

The ImportFreeImages extension allows users to import properly licensed photos directly into their wiki from Flickr.

Pre-requisites
Your PHP configuration must have set  to On.

Options

 * Configure  to point to a (possible set of) template that takes the Flickr user id, user display name and photo id as parameter. Example:

This photography was imported from flickr. This photo was originally taken by and the original photo can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos//

This file is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license.

The license id of the imported image will be appended to the  name. So if you are using 'flickr', create a template 'flickr4' for the photos that are imported with the license id 4. See here for all possible license ids.
 * Configure  and   if you desire.
 * Change which license photos are searched by changing, by default it's '4', which is CC Attribution License. Multiple licenses are searchable by using a comma-delimited list (such as '4,5'). See more info here.
 * Change how the results are sorted by altering, see more here.
 * Change  to   if you want the tool to import the 'original' (or 'large' if original doesn't exist) version of the image, which is most likely the largest version of the image. Otherwise, the 'medium' version by default will be imported.
 * Change  to   to prompt the user for a destination filename for the photo (using a JavaScript prompt), use false if you'd prefer just to use the title of the photo as the filename.
 * can specify whether to search by text or tags. See here for more information on this.
 * - appends a random to the filename to avoid overwriting existing files. (e.g. specifying a desination filename of Punk may store the file at Punk-1934.jpg)

Bugs and enhancements
Bugs or feature requests can be submitted via Phabricator.

Other ideas offering radio buttons and checkboxes to allow users to customize which licenses are searched and how the results are sorted. Other API sources could be added to complement the flickr functionality.
