Click here to see the profile of this user 		Are Flickr Modules Good for Library Websites? - 2007/05/02 13:06 This thread discusses the Content article: Are Flickr Modules Good for Library Websites?

In general I find linking to similar 3rd party features easier for load time.

We did use a photo extension for our Joomla Big Read site ( http://www.bigreadok.com ) and had problems with the code on various pages as well as strange formatting issues occasionally -- so I'm of the thought now to save the time of the user and if they want to see the photos I'll make a clear link to them and they can visit them (like we are doing on our Red Dirt Book festival site [underdevelopment] http://reddirt.pls.lib.ok.us/ ).

All that being said -- I am letting our intern use the flickr badge on the summer read site she designed (not using joomla) http://pioneer.lib.ok.us/teens/Summer07/index.html

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Are Flickr Modules Good for Library Websites? - 2007/05/02 17:31 I use the Simple Image Gallery on my site to insert whole galleries of photos into content. It even comes with a JCE wysiwyg editor plugin so that editors can just insert the {gallery}...{/gallery} code.

I've have also used Expose with no problems but find that the Simple Image Gallery is more useful since you can insert galleries right into your content.

I understand that social networking aspect of Flickr and its value but I am also interested in the Joomla painting pages up on the screen in a timely fashion, as well as a few other concerns. Having the luxury of my own server in the Library with plenty of drive space, dual processors and memory helps too.

My two cents
