Working on a community site where user can essentially post a link to a recent Flickr set along with a quick write up.

Ideally the content type (lets say FlickrPhotoSet) would allow for some body text and just an entry field where the user would input just the Flickr photo or set number (for example 123456789) – and Drupal would complete the string(s)

[flickr-photo:id=123456789,size=s]
or
[flickr-photoset:id=123456789,size=m]

The post would then include a max of (say?) 10 thumbnails from the set along with the body text.

I am running in to problems with the Flickr module. Adding a “flickr photo” field to a content type causes a error message

“array(23) { ["#type"]=> string(11) "flickrfield" ["#default…”

with a item value of

“Noooo!” on the content add page.

I am giving up on the module as we seem to have tried everything and cant get it to work right. Not sure if it offers what we are looking for or not but the problems are looking too great to overcome.

Does anyone have any advice on how to create link to a flickr set, including sample images from the set along with some user added text? We are [obviously] fairly new to Drupal and still learning. It seems like this would be a handy little feature and I expect it has been done before. Any advice? Thanks

I'm facing the same problem. Any solutions or alternate ways of adding flickr photosets to content?
