I've setup Flickr. I've set the integration to ON and put in the API key. I have access and Flickr now shows up in my media manager. Ok, I just want my Flickr account to display all my photos as a gallery. When you click on Flickr the top right says Insert Gallery. The problem is that if you hit that no pictures are selected and none are added. I also cannot select multiple photos it seems. Once I click on the option changes to Insert Photo. I would think if I selected more than one it would either give me both options or the Gallery Option. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to make them a Set or Collection in Flickr first? In addition, should this be a blog page at all? Should I select something other than Single Page Blog Display as my menu button ? I just want it to be a normal gallery. Please advise.

Finally, if I get everything to work can I upload straight to Flickr without having to then add the photo into my page?
Hello William,

Sorry for the confusions there, the "Insert as gallery" shouldn't appear for Flickr source. You currently can only insert photos one by one We do have plans to enhance this in the future though.

Wow then with all do respect this integration is just not ready. I'd like for it to look like Flickr photo stream or be a slideshow. Plus, this page should look like a blog post but a regular page with no social media shares or the ability to turn them off. When is this supposed to improve?

Hello William,

Hm, I am not too sure what you meant by this but it does work with Flickr and it does allow you to embed single photos from Flickr. It just doesn't allow embedding a photos stream or a slideshow currently

Hey Darren,

Unfortunately that was not possible in current system,

But it would be best if you can submit a feature request regarding this in our voice page -> http://stackideas.com/voices/easyblog, so everyone else could vote for it, the more people request on this, and we will priority consider it.
