Description
Tired of copying and pasting the object/iframe HTML from Flickr and other tools like FlickrSlidr? Then this plugin is for you. It is the easiest way to pull your flickr photos into WordPress.
This plugin adds a button to the WYSIWYG. Once clicked, an inline popup will come up to allow you to enter the URL of the slideshow. It then creates a quicktag to add the slideshow, similar to Viper’s Quicktags.

FAQ
- Why not use a tool like FlickrSlidr.com?
-
FlickrSlidr.com is a great tool that will generate the HTML markup (an object tag or an iframe) for you to insert into your webpage. However, wysiwyg’s don’t handle this markup well. Editing posts with this markup will often erase the markup that FlickrSlidr originally created. Thus requiring you to create the slideshow from scratch.
