In this latest installment of Flickr Manager, you may have noticed some changes to the media panel. The first change is the separation of the browse panel into two separate tabs, “My Photos”, “My Photosets”. Secondly, a new option to hide the licensing information when browsing public photos allows for more photos to be displayed per page, as seen below:
The method for insertion of images has changed to give you greater control over your Flickr photos. The save button will update the photo information directly on Flickr. When inserting a photo, the title field will reflect the caption to be displayed in the Lightbox or Highslide overlay (No save is necessary for this to take effect).
Finally this update includes some security updates which address several vulnerabilities, and it’s highly recommended that you upgrade.

Please forgive a newbie basic css question, but I can’t find where or how to hard-wire border and margin info so we don’t need to do it with every photo. Thanks!

Is there a way to revert back to the old version? The whole reason I loved this plugin was the ability to insert multiple photos very quickly by unchecking the close on insert button on the main page, clicking on the photos, choosing the sizes, and having them be inserted very quickly. Now the whole process takes forever and I’m really bummed! I loved the old way the plugin used to work and I hope there is some way for me to have it like that again because I would really like to keep using it.

Hello, I was looking to see how I may go about modding the plug-in so that it can display my “favorites” or “groups” feed instead of my flickr feed?
I notice the photo url and profile url within the settings but see no option on editing that. Jst needing to know where, if possible, to look in editing this for my end purpose.

JoJo.. It can be done, but not easily..
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/ is a good starting point.. It’ll require rewriting a large portion of the plugin.

Ok, I was able to modify it so that within the settings panel, the Photo URL and Profile URL can display and link to my flickr “favorites” page. But on my WP page itself, it is still only displaying my main flickr feed.
Thank you for the link to the API, I am now beginning to sift through it. But by chance would you know what line(s) of code, in your plug-in, that tells the manager what to display? Maybe I can alter that “address link” of which it is requesting images from.
This is the ONE, minor yet major feature I and a few others feel that this Plug-in is missing. If it had this it would be that much more of a killer plug-in.
Thanx a bunch for your work! It is already an excellent plug-in!
