I had previously set up this documentation on a different page ( [[admin/repository/flickr]] ), which is the page that Moodle 2 directs you too when you click on the "moodle docs about this page" link when configuring a Flickr Repository.  


I have requested it in this forum post: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=152447
I have now set up a redirect from that page to here and copied the content I had there on to this page.

{{Moodle_2.0}}
=Flickr Configuration=
This page lets you configure access to a Flickr repository. It will allow a user to log into their Flickr account and copy files from their account into any of the Moodle file interfaces.
 
To set this repository up you need to set the following two fields:
*API Key
*Secret
 
==Setting up a Flickr API==
To get your API Key and Secret you need to create an App inside your Flickr account. Visit [http://www.flickr.com/services/api/keys/ this link] to start creating your own API Key and secret.
#Click the "Get Another Key" button to start creating your App. [[Image:get-another-key.png]]
#Choose "Apply for a Non-commercial Key"
#Enter a title and brief description for the App (i.e. Moodle to Flickr Access - App to allow Moodle to access Flickr through it's repository API)
#Tick the two boxes to show your agreement to Flickr's terms of use and then click submit.
#You will now have the key and secret for the new app. Copy and paste these into the fields in your Moodle Flickr configuration page.
#Click save on the Moodle Flickr configuration page.
#Revisit the settings of your Flickr repository in Moodle and copy the callback URL from that page.
#Revisit your Flickr App page and click on the "Edit Auth Flow for this App" link
#Paste the URL from your Moodle page into the Callback URL field on your Flickr App
#Click "Save Changes"
 
You should now have a working Flickr repository. Try adding a file from your Flickr account as a resource in Moodle to test it!

I had previously set up this documentation on a different page ( admin/repository/flickr ), which is the page that Moodle 2 directs you too when you click on the "moodle docs about this page" link when configuring a Flickr Repository.

I have now set up a redirect from that page to here and copied the content I had there on to this page.
