Pinflickr - Some Kind of Wordpress Pinboard Plugin

I have just completed the first version of my “Pinflickr” plugin which automatically generates a pinboard styled gallery. Below is a paste of the Readme file located in the git repo. Full write-up coming soon.

Full Source on Github

This plugin uses the Flickr API to build a pinboard style gallery on an existing Wordpress site.

Examples:

Installation

  • Move wp-pinflickr folder to the plugins directory of your Wordpress site.
  • Create a new API code and app secret on flickr More Info
  • Access Pinflickr Settings under the Settings menu inside the Wordpress Admin Menu.
  • Enter your API code and App Secret from Flickr. Save these changes.
  • Create a new page that will hold your gallery
  • The plugin works with a shortcode to display the gallery. The format is as follows:

[pinflickr user_id="66956608@N06" tags="tags,separated,by,commas"]

The easiest way to find a user id is by using the site idGettr.

  • Enter the shortcode with your user_id and desired tags and save this page.
  • That’s it! You’ve created an awesome pinboard styled gallery!
