How to Import Flickr to Drupal

The Flickr module helps you share your photos on your Drupal site.

If you have a Flickr account to share your photos and you want to integrate it with your Drupal site, you have a handy tool at your fingertips to do the job. The Flickr module allows you to set up the connection with relatively little fuss, letting you go back to the job of taking photos and sharing them with the world. The most recent version of Drupal -- Drupal 7 -- has a tool right in the Admin section that allows you to install modules. Before you begin, ensure that you have the Drupal Update Manager module enabled.

Instructions

1. Download the Flickr module from the Drupal site. When prompted, extract the file and save it to your computer's desktop.

2. Log in to your Drupal site as an administrator.

3. Select "Modules" from the admin panel.

4. Click "Install new module."

5. Click "Browse" to select the Flickr module from your computer, then click "Install."

6. Click "Enable newly added modules." Read any specific information that pops up regarding the new module.

7. Navigate to "Administer," then select "Modules."

8. Check the "Enabled" box next to the Flickr module, then click "Save Configuration" at the bottom of the page.
