cs_flickrgallery

cs_flickrgallery is a Plone addon that enables seamless integration of Flickr photo galleries into Plone content management system. It allows site administrators to fetch and display photos from Flickr sets or collections directly within Plone pages, providing a unified content experience.

Key Features

• Flickr API Integration — Connects to Flickr using an API key and username to fetch photos from specified sets or collections.
• Content-Type Behavior — Adds a new behavior that can be applied to Plone content types (like pages) to enable Flickr gallery functionality.
• Gallery View — Provides a dedicated flickr_gallery_view for displaying imported Flickr images within Plone templates.
• REST API Support — Exposes Flickr image data through Plone's REST API, making it accessible for headless frontends like Volto.
• Image Data Utility — Includes utility methods to retrieve structured image data (with srcset, sizes, URLs) for custom gallery implementations in classic Plone.
• Import Status Viewlet — Shows the status of photo imports and allows manual refreshing of imported images.

Philosophy

The addon follows Plone's extensible architecture, providing a clean integration point for external services while maintaining compatibility with both classic and modern (Volto) Plone deployments.
