Overview

This ScrewTurn Wiki plug-in will put a grid of thumbnail photos from a flickr.com PhotoSet you specify right into your page. This is version 1.0 and has very little options. I plan on updating it with the ability to supply parameters to configure per page (like how big of thumbnails, how many columns, HTML formatting, etc).

Note: Due to the poor way that Flickr's API works, large photo sets can make page loading slow as several requests to Flickr must be made to get all the data. I must make one call to get a list of photos, then I must make another call for each photo to get its description. So if there are 40 photos in a set, that's 41 web requests I must make to Flickr. Unless Flickr updates their flickr.photosets.getphotos api, there's really not much I can do other than not retrieve the description of the photo (which in my usage of this plug-in on hossweb.com, I need).
