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 configuration variables have changed. It uses the phpFlickr library.
Installation[edit]
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
FlickrAPI
in yourextensions/
folder.
- Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
wfLoadExtension( 'FlickrAPI' ); $wgFlickrAPIKey = ' /*FLICKR API KEY HERE*/ ';
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Note: You'll need an API key from Flickr. Get it here.
When installing from Git, please note that this extension requires Composer.
So, after installation from git, add the line "extensions/FlickrAPI/composer.json"
to the "composer.local.json" file in the root directory of your wiki like e.g.
{
"extra": {
"merge-plugin": {
"include": [
"extensions/FlickrAPI/composer.json"
]
}
}
}
Now run composer update --no-dev
from the top level of your MediaWiki installation.
Configuration parameters[edit]
- $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.
- $wgFlickrAPIDefaults - Array that contains the default values for the extension for when the
<flickr>
call does not specify certain options. Defaults to:[ 'type' => 'frameless', 'location' => 'right', 'size' => '-' ];
Usage[edit]
Embed a Flickr image using the tag: <flickr>id|type|location|size|caption</flickr>
The only mandatory parameter is id. The others can be omitted and the defaults will be applied from $wgFlickrAPIDefaults
.

- type
- The display type. This can be set to:
thumb

.
