The Shortcode
Adding the shortcode to your page.
e.g.
Add the Flickrshow shortcode to anywhere on your page to display the gallery.
flickrname:
[ flickrshow flickrname=”someones flickr name” num_images=”12″ ]
set_number:
[ flickrshow set_number=”72157626881052206″ num_images=”12″ ]
search:
[ flickrshow search=”paint” num_images=”12″ ]
show_titles:
[ flickrshow flickrname=”someones flickrname” show_titles=”true” num_images=”12″ ]
*title options(“true” or “false” – default is set to “false”).
show_info:
[ flickrshow flickrname=”someones flickrname” show_info=”true” num_images=”22″ ]
*This option will show the pictures owner username, total views and title in the lightbox header. options are(“true” or “false” – default is set to “true”).
thumb_size:
[ flickrshow search=”paint” thumb_size=”square” num_images=”32″ ]
*This option will set the size of the thumbnail images.
options are(
“square” -(75px 75px)
“thumbnail” -(100px, 66px)
“small” -(240px, 157px)
“medium 500? -(500px, 327px)
“medium 640? -(640px, 418px)
“large” -(original size)
- default is set to “square”).
image_size: optional
[ flickrshow search=”paint” thumb_size=”square” image_size=”large” num_images=”32″ ]
*This option will set the size of the main image loaded. The actual displayed image size is set through the flickrshow.css file but you may set this option to tweak the image quality. By default this option is set to large. This means that the original size is loaded but the css sets the display to a set size. If you know the size of the images you may want to set this to the closest size that matches the actual image to scale back on image sizes thus dropping the loading times required to load the images. If you want your images to be a medium 500 size then set the image_size option to be “medium 500? and then set the .limage{width:900px; height: 500px; } in flickrshow.css line 2 to match the width and height of medium 500(500px 327px).
If you do not feel comfortable editing the css then simply leave this option as default and your pictures will use the default settings.
options are(
“square” -(75px 75px)
“thumbnail” -(100px, 66px)
“small” -(240px, 157px)
“medium 500? -(500px, 327px)
“medium 640? -(640px, 418px)
“large” -(original size)
- default is set to “square”).
Putting it all together:
example one – flickrname photostream showing title and photo info for 100 images and setting the thumbnail size to thumbnail(100px x 66px):
[ flickrshow flickrname=”someones flickrname” show_info=”true” show_titles=”true” thumb_size=”thumbnail” num_images=”100″ ]
example two – showing a set with title and photo info, setting the thumbnail size to small and showing 50 images:
[ flickrshow flickrname=”someones flickrname” show_info=”true” show_titles=”true” thumb_size=”small” num_images=”50″ ]
Option defaults:
flickrname = ‘null’
search = ‘null’
num_images = ’100'
thumb_size = ‘Thumbnail’
image_size = ‘Large’
set_number = ‘null’
show_info = ‘false’
show_titles = ‘false’
preload_img = ‘false’
div_height
This option will set the height of each gallery div. Setting this height option when inserting into a page with other content ensures that the other content will be cleared by the gallery div container.
example:[ flickrshow flickrname=”someones flickrname” show_info=”true” show_titles=”true” thumb_size=”thumbnail” num_images=”100″ div_height=”300px”]
Loading jQuery before plugins
The correct way to load jQuery into your theme is to load it prior to all plugins being loaded. Having said this know that the plugin loads jQuery seperately in case your theme is not set to load jQuery. To load jQuery from the theme instead of the plugin do the following changes to your theme and plugin files.
Step One: Open your themes functions.php file and add the following code anywhere on the page:
if( !is_admin()){
wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);
wp_register_script(‘jquery’, (“http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js”), false, ‘1.3.2’);
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
}
Step Two: Open the flickrshow.php file and comment out or delete the echo script line on line 28 by adding two backslashes before it (“//”))
// echo “<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js’></script> ” ;
*Step Three: Upload the saved files to your server.
This will load jQuery into your theme before any plugins get loaded on the page thus eliminating the need for each plugin to load jQuery.
When each plugin loads different versions of jQuery on the page this creates compatability issues and will cause your plugins to not work correctly. I seriously suggest the users of FlickrShow to use this method of including jQuery on the page.
