Wanted: Flickr Drupal Integration

November 1st, 2007 · No Comments · Web/Tech

The state of Flickr integration with the content management system Drupal seems a bit chaotic at the moment. It looks like there are a few Drupal/Flickr modules with minimal functionality, but none of them seem like they’re being actively maintained at the moment. It seems like the various authors are looking to combine their efforts and create One Flickr Drupal Module to Rule Them All, but until that happens, there’s no obvious good choice for adding Flickr to a Drupal site.

I want users of a Drupal site to be able to enter their Flickr IDs in their profiles, then to have the system display thumbnail galleries of only the photos that have a specific tag (or a set of tags) — no point in having my happy hour photos syndicated to my daughter’s school site. The "Flickrhood" module is supposed to do the profile integration and photo fetching, but it doesn’t filter by tags (and, at any rate, I wasn’t able to get the module to run on the Drupal installation I’m supporting).

Are there other Drupal modules I’m missing here, maybe one that uses a photo-hosting service other than Flickr or one that isn’t listed on drupal.org for some reason?
