How To Use The Flickr Element

Steps to Find Your Flickr ID

Once you have added the Element to your page, to get any images to show, you need to set your Flickr ID to pull your own Flickr feed into the Element.

This value is called the NSID and has a format like this: 12345678@N05. To find your ID, you can just go to https://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/flickr.urls.lookupUser and if you are logged in, you will see your Flickr ID at the top of the right hand column. Copy and paste this into the Flickr ID field, and your Flickr photostream should instantly appear on the page.

Then you can choose the type of feed you want to display. It can be your Photostream, or it can be an Album. If you select Album, you need to add an Album ID. To find this, go to You > Albums on your Flickr account, and open the album required. The Album ID is the last, numerical part of the URL.

On the Design tab, you can set your preferred columns, spacing, and margins. You can even choose to animate the Element on the Extras tab if you wish.

Element Options

Note: Please note that the displayed option screens below show ALL the available options for the element. If you have Avada’s Option Network Dependencies turned on, you will only see options relevant to your selections, and so the options screen may look somewhat different.
