    Hello,

    On my site under construction, I tried to display private photos (visible in Flickr for friends or family) with the following code :
    [gallery type='flickr' user_id='my-user-id' collection_id='mycollection-name' privacy_filter='4']

    It shows all the thumbnail of each of all my albums but when clicking the thumbnail, no picture is displayed !

    Displaying all the images with : [gallery type='flickr' user_id='my-user-id' view='photos' privacy_filter='4']
    works well, but I would like to organize the pictures in albums.

    Any help is welcome, thanks in advance !
    Simon

    Hi Sayonta,

    First thanks for the quick answer.

    Here the URL :
    https://clapphonie.fr/photos-debug/

    I plotted three things on the page :
    [gallery type='flickr' user_id='31122741@N02' collection_id='72157683284435243'] Public albums (works fine)

    [gallery type='flickr' user_id='31122741@N02' view='collections' filter='72157685250640354' privacy_filter='4']Private albums shows only the thumbnail but not the pictures !

    [gallery type='flickr' user_id='31122741@N02' view='photos' privacy_filter='4'] Private photos of the above album (works fine)

    The problem is in the second one. The album as one picture public (the thumbnail) and the others private.
    I hope you can see clear with these informations.

    Sorry – I thought I had responded earlier.

    I think the issue is that you cannot click on a private album to see the photos inside it. It was an oversight on my part, and somehow I never thought to code it (it didn’t help that not too many people use that functionality). Let me see if I can get that into a future release.

    Hello Sayontan,
    Thanks for the explanations, you are true this is quite specific and not usual.
    I will see how I solve it, maybe I simply put all the pictures public on Flickr.
    Anyhow thanks for the support !

    Hello,
    I have the same problem as private photo are not displayed when clicking on it. I can see the thumbnails but not the photo itself. Did you ever found a way to make it work ?

    Thanks for your help.
    Regards

    Hello Tamatea,

    Finally, I don’t use private photos, and put all the pictures “public” in Flickr.

    It is actually not possible to display albums. The only syntax that works for private photos is described by the author in an example :
    https://aquoid.com/plugins/photonic/flickr/flickr-authentication/

    [gallery type='flickr' user_id='35553131@N07' view='photos' privacy_filter='4']

    I hope it can help
    Regards
