Show a concrete set in the Flickr Widget, not the whole photostream
-
Hi,
I have been searching the forums and FAQs and not found anything that really answers my question.
I want to use the Flickr Badge. I have checked the instructions at http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/12/24/using-the-flickr-widget/
It works perfectly to show the last pictures of the photostream, but I want to show just a set. To do that I copied the feed of the set in the widget instead of my photostream feed, but it shows only the names of the pictures, and not the pictures themselves.
Anyone can help with this? Or is it that you can ONLY show the last pictures of your general photostream in the Flickr Widget?

Yeah, I think I see the problem. I’m using the Flickr Widget too, but I want to show photos only from a specific set (Baby Pictures), not my overall photo stream. The Widget only seems to work if you use the feed from your main Flickr page, i.e. your overall photostream. This is a really unfortunate limitation, IMO! If you put in the feed for a specific set, tag, etc. then you get only photo names and not the photos themselves.
I really love WordPress but WordPress.com is starting to annoy me. We can’t use the Flash version of the Flickr badge, we can’t even use the HTML version of the badge because it has some Javascript in it. Other free blogging sites aren’t so restrictive…I know, I know – I should move to those right? Or pay to host yet another dedicated site? *sigh*

This is an unfortunate oversight (either intentional or otherwise) on the part of WordPress. Perhaps they’re doing this to get money out of us, to force upgrades? I don’t know. I can’t for the life of me figure out how an RSS feed viewer would “break” on one feed instead of another when the feed format spec is identical. Sigh. WordPress, please fix this, we want to be able to post sets!
