[Solved] Flickr was created by Peter Smith
Hi
Can you help me as Im stuck here. I think its obvious problem i cant see and need some advice
Ive added a flickr gallery to this page on my site:
www.advenziaprojects.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=29
As you can see i added my flikr gallery like this
{gallery} www.flickr.com/photos/oakmace/sets/72157627648621113/{/gallery}
BUT as you see it dont work
If I add the example url from the documenation like this it works perfectly
{gallery}www.flickr.com/photos/joomlaworks/sets/72157626907305094/{/gallery}
I assumed that if it worked with the example on documentation all i woudl need to do is change to my flikr url but it does not do
can anyone advise please, its likely something so obvious i missed it!

The gallery tags you used for some reason (a plugin you use maybe, or wrong copy paste) are not rendered correctly because the urls of Flckr are forced to display as links.

Hi
I guessed that is answer but IM more confused because if i add the url as in the documentation like
{gallery}www.flickr.com/photos/joomlaworks/sets/72157626907305094/{/gallery}
It works perfectly and Im using (As far as i can see the exact same syntax in that mine is
{gallery}www.flickr.com/photos/oakmace/sets/72157627648621113/{/gallery}
I looked at the urls on flickr to compare mine with the joomla works documention and on flickr they both look the same
So I can for some reason display the joomla works flickr images on my site but not mine!
So Im realy stuck as i thnk that means i have it all installed right but it wont work if you can advise what to do please be fantastic

Flickr only works with the Pro version either way...
The solution to your problem is very simple:
- You are either pasting your Flickr photo set URL from Flickr.com (some page, not the browser), or some Word document. This results to an HTML link being inserted in your Joomla editor window. So when you wrap the {gallery}...{/gallery} tags around that link, the plugin fails to recognize a clean URL (as it's an HTML "link"). This is the source code of your page:
This should be rendered as:
- The other option I can think of is that you "may" have another plugin installed in your Joomla site that auto-converts URLs inside content into HTML links.
All in all, to verify the above, copy this into a program like notepad in Windows:
and then again copy it from Notepad into your Joomla editor window. Unless you have a plugin like I described in my second point, you should see your gallery live.
Don't forget to make sure that the Simple Image Gallery Pro plugin is enabled in the Plugins Manager in the backend of Joomla.
