Create a Flickr Feeds source

This article outlines how to configure a Flickr Feeds source in Finalsite Feeds, including setup for username sources and album sources and how content is displayed from the Flickr API.

Step 1: Select Flickr in the Feeds module

In Composer, open the module menu on the left sidebar and select Feeds. Click the red + Add social media source button, then select Flickr from the Add a Social Media Source window.

Step 2: Configure a username source

The username source pulls in all photos posted by a Flickr user. The account must be public for content to display.

• Locate the Flickr username from the account's profile URL (e.g., from https://www.flickr.com/photos/vetbonkie/, the username is vetbonkie).
• Enter the username into the source field and save.

Step 3: Configure an album source

The album source pulls in photos from a specific Flickr album. The album must have no privacy settings enabled.

• Locate the album ID in the album's URL. For example, in https://www.flickr.com/photos/vetbonkie/albums/72157653439738204, the album ID is 72157653439738204.
• Add an asterisk before the album ID: *72157653439738204.
• Enter the asterisk-prefixed album ID into the source field and save.

Understand API display behavior

Due to how Flickr imports content from its API, Flickr content in Feeds displays as individual photos rather than as grouped albums, regardless of whether a username or album source is configured.
