Hi.Is there a way to connect a flickr image collection to an individual K2 article?
If not, is there some kind of reasonable workaround?

Many Thanks as I am extremely new to K2 and Joomla
Graham

Do you have a plugin you are using for Flickr with Joomla Articles?
If so try adding the plugin code into the K2 Item Content
You can use the sig pro galleries by adding
{gallery}fruit{/gallery} into the content of a category or an item

I can do this like same method of JOOgallery. Just update another template that allow use Flickr API .

Thanks for the replies.
I'll find a working flickr plugin and insert it into the K2 Article. Considering its a commercial plugin, it would be great if sig pro supported flickr like the AllVideos plugin supports external video services.

Did you ever find a workaround?  I would love to just be able to insert the flickr set link into a field and have the gallery called into a <div> so I can position it correctly.  This would also stop me having to use "read more" as a method to stop galleries displaying on the category page.

 

Does anybody know a solution?

Hi Justin Thomas,

 

You can integrate Flickr now easily into K2 items using SIG Pro. All you need is just include the

{gallery}www.flickr.com/photos/joomlaworks/sets/72157626907305094/{/gallery} and you're set to go. Further customization and documentation can be read here.

Thanks Kannan.  Unfortunately I might not have made myself clear.  I would like to be able to insert a flickr set using the same code block as if I was to upload a zip file.  The {gallery} call places it inside the main text and, therefore, doesn't allow me to style the <div> in a position I would like it.  Also, if the {gallery} call is in a short article the WHOLE gallery will appear in the category view, hence my desire to use an additional field/the image gallery tab.

 

I have SIG Pro, so I know this doesn't work as I have tried all the above (in both a text field and a text area (with and without editor)).
