PictoBrowser Plugin

I created my first WordPress plugin. It can show Picasa and Flickr galleries with the help of PictoBrowser in WordPress.

At first an example of a gallery from flickr:

To display a gallery you just need to have both user id & album id

How to retrieve the needed ids and insert an album??

Flickr:

  • Visit an album on flickr you want publish in your blog, e.g. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rougerouge/sets/872426/
  • you can retrieve username (rougerouge) and album id (872426) from this link, but you need to convert the username into a user id
  • this is done by http://idgettr.com/ (in this case the user id is 90537551@N00)
  • click on the icon, paste the ids and insert the gallery :)
