    Hi!

    Just found this flickr component for modx
    http://code.google.com/p/xflickr/

    But don’t know how to install it.

          cryptic... you better try to reach the developer directly. I browsed through his code in google-code, but i didn’t not install it.
          but, looking through the code this seems like a pretty good frontend/backend flickr integration.

          (i was interessted in that also, but i ended up with oembed)

            Yes it is a flickr snippet/component for modx revo. Sadly there is no additional info about it and I couldn’t find any contact info.

            I am looking for a way to integrate my (private) flickr galleries into my webpage for ages.

            ...oembed? will take a look at it.

              oembed has been around for some time, but only these days it seems to become more popular (which is a good thing for web programmers..)
              wordpress 2.9 just included oembed in their release now - so that will probably push this standard even more.

              youtube became a oembed provider 2 months ago, vimeo, flickr and others are already providers.
              although for flickr specifically - i think it’s "per photo" not ’per album’ as you want, so you might end up with a simple snippet using flickr api to get you whole photoset.

              note, there’s also many client-side (javascript) solutions around for this.

                thanks for the info!

                But I couldn’t find a solution for my private galleries (auththentication via flickr api). They all seem to be for public galleries/photos.

                  i know little of flickr.. google will be more helpful then me..
                  but I’m sure if you go the flickr API way you can access private galleries (whether direct, via some php wrapper or via one of the 100 jquery-flickr plugins...)

                  and, one step backwards - if you’re on revolution, this xflickr seems like what you’re looking for, no?

                  Also - dig in the modx forums, there are a couple of snippets around, did you see this one: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=20213.0

                    Guess I’ll have to do a bit more research and learn how to use the api auth method then...

                      Hi!
                      XFlickr is mine smiley
                      It development temporarily freezed, but I’ll be back soon to it.
                      XFlickr is full featured app with backend (editing, deleting, uploading, sorting photos) and frontend (galleries, single photos, virtual sets etc.). After little meeting with ExtJS I fell in love with Ext (and Ext Core). So now I want to make Ext Core powered lightbox clone specially for XFlickr (some examples here http://code.atmaworks.com/extbox/) and then continue work on component.
                      The following examples of what you saw Google Code:
