Flickr API Search - XSLT Extension

An XSLT Extension Package that enables calling the Flickr API to retrieve photos from a tag(s), user, group, and text search.

The underlying engine is built off of the FlickrNET library (http://www.codeplex.com/FlickrNet).

Includes some starter DataTypes for sorting and filter options and one XSLT Macro example.

*** Updated to include new methods BySet, ByUserAndTag, and to support paging.  Version 2.0 has also been tested in Umbraco 4.0.x and 4.5 and works great in both.

 

How To Install:

1. Install the package from the “Packages/Install local package” item in the “Developer” section in the Umbraco Admin area. (Normal package install)

2. Get a Flickr API key for your website

To get a key go to this page: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/keys and sign up. Your should get your key right away.

3. Add the config into your web.config and add your API key.

<configuration>
 
<
configSections>
   
<
section name="flickrNet" type="FlickrNet.FlickrConfigurationManager,FlickrNet"
       
allowLocation="true" />

    ...
 
</
configSections>

 
<
flickrNet apiKey="yourFlickrAPIKeyGoesHere" secret="yourSecretGoesHere"
       
cacheDisabled="true" >
 
</
flickrNet>

...

<configuration>

This could be an external file as well.

If you want to use the FlickrNet caching, then make your config section look something like this:

  <flickrNet apiKey="yourFlickrAPIKeyGoesHere" secret="yourSecretGoesHere"
       
cacheLocation="C:\\YOURWEBSITELOCATION\\App_Data" cacheSize="26240000" cacheTimeout="1:00:00" >
 
</
flickrNet>

4. Add the FlickrPhotoList Macro to a page or template.  It should display a list of Tree photos.


To customize the search see the documentation: www.proworks.com/.../
