How To Use Slickr Flickr Admin Settings

How to Set Up The Plugin Defaults

If you don’t want to specify all the settings for every slideshow or gallery you can set up some defaults as follows:

1. Go to the “Settings” section, and choose “Slickr Flickr”
2. Enter your Flickr Id (the id of the form 12345678@N00)
3. Fetch and save your Flickr API Key (required if you want to fetch more than 20 photos)
4. Enter a Slickr Flickr Pro License Key (required if you want to use bonus features such as fetching more than 50 photos)
5. You can also change the default settings for
   • the number of photos to show
   • the type of display – gallery, slideshow or gallery/slideshow combo
   • whether photos captions are displayed
   • what the delay in seconds is before the slideshow moves on to the next slide
   • what LightBox you want to use for the gallery
