Flickr galleries

Using the Flickr Lightbox

The Flickr Lightbox widget allows you to quickly and easily create a slick photo gallery with thumbnails that link to larger images. Before starting in the site builder, you need to first create a Flickr account and upload your pictures at flickr.com.

Here's how it to add the Flickr Lightbox widget to your page:

1. In the Content sidebar in Yola, open the Photo Galleries & Video folder.
2. Drag and drop a Flickr Lightbox widget onto your page.
3. In the "Properties" sidebar enter your Flickr account email address (usually a Yahoo! address) in the email address field. 
4. In the "Photo Count" field (directly below the email field), enter the number of images you want to display. Please note that the maximum number of photos Flickr will allow you to display in one gallery is 30.
5. In the "Search" field, enter the tags of the photos you want to pull from Flickr (make sure you have added tags to your Flickr photos or you will not get the desired result).
6. Specify how many columns you want for your photo gallery.
7. Click on the "Image Size" drop down menu to select small square, thumbnail or medium sized images.
8. Finally, choose between a "modern" or "plain" style for your photo gallery images.
9. Click the "Apply" button to update your photo gallery.
10. Now save and preview your page. You will have a gallery of clickable images. In the top right hand corner of the large view of the images, click the "Next" button to view the next image in the gallery. Click the "Close" button when you are finished browsing through your gallery.

Note: If there are privacy settings on your Flickr photos the search will not be successful. The photos need to be publicly available for it to work.
