With this new release of Flickr Gallery, the Lightbox functionality should work a little better. It should be loading properly for every built-in gallery mode, including custom searches. The process for adding an authentication token has been improved as well. The biggest new feature is a newly Ajaxified settings panel. Saving the settings through Ajax allows full WordPress MU support.
New features in version 1.1:
- Lightbox set up for all Flickr galleries without interfering with each other.
- WordPress MU support.
Update 1.1.2: Fixed some small bugs that were stopping people from using the plugin at all. Most people will see no change.

I’ve just created the release for Flickr Gallery 1.0. The version number has been increased to a new major release because I’ve added some pretty important new features. You will hopefully be seeing it in your WordPress admin panels by the time you read this. Be sure to test it out and send me any problems you see with it. You can leave a comment on this post, or send me an email through the contact form on this site.
New features:
- New lightbox script custom made for this plugin. Why do we need another lightbox, you ask? This one allows you to show your Flickr photos (and videos) in a lightbox, but still be compliant with the Flickr API Terms of Service by providing a link back to the photo page.
- Using the WordPress plugin API, you can now alter the tabs in the default gallery to show just about anything you want. You can find more about that on the plugin’s page on this site (under “projects”).
- Photos in sets are now show in a panel that appears below the set data. There is a link back to Flickr, of course.
Update version 1.0.1
- Pointed “powered by” link to the CodeMeme project page
- Fixed XHTML errors
- Set the llightbox to turn on by default (this won’t affect you if you’ve manually turned it off)

For a while now, I have wanted to create a centralized site to host both information about my freelance work and my open source development. That is what I hope this site to be. As I go, I hope to add documentation for my plugins as well as tips for other people who might be using and developing with WordPress.
The first project I’ve got detailed here is Flickr Gallery. An easy to use plugin that lets you display your Flickr photos in a gallery on your blog. I’ve got lots of information about the plugin under “Projects” on this site and you can see it in action at my personal blog.
