Hi,

How can I display more photos for the block "User Recent Photos" ?

And:

Can I make a view, like the block "User recent Photos" ? I tried, but I never found any fields to start with.

Or alternatively, how can I edit the block directly to show the flickr-icon plus a heading (+ more pictures)? (A heading would be simple, but I can´t get in the Logo in there).

Thanks for any help,
Marc

Oops, I never looked in the Block-Settings.. I found the answer to the first question.
Also the logo-issue is solved, by editing this directly in the modules block-file.

But still, I want to know, if it´s possible to set up a view with recent photos from a specific user (at the his profile).

..if it´s possible to set up a View with recent photos from a specific user?

Unfortunately the Views module can not make use of the Flickr API directly. It is out of the scope of the Flickr module for now. It has been suggested before here and also at #107142: Flickr Query sub-module. Only the submodule Flickr Field has some support for Views.

I do not know if there are contrib modules that offer Flickr API methods that are called from fields that can be included in Views.

The easiest approach would be to simply import all of a specific user's public Flickr media on cron run or request and create a separate node (entity) for each image/video with all of the available meta data (also geo info, etc.). Take a look at the Feeds Flickr module. We used it on several projects.

In any case, patches are welcome and will be reviewed instantly.

Thanks.
