XF 1.2 trouble to embed images from flickr

[snoopy5]

Hi

I seem to be too stupid to embed images in postings from flickr. How do I do this?

I even installed already and addon for bb code (http://xenforo.com/community/resources/s9e-media-bbcodes-pack.2476/), but still it does not work.

I treid it with just putting the url in the textbox like "http://www.flickr.com/photos/username/12345"

And with the icon for inserting images via url. Nothing works

What do I do wrong?

Please ask in the add-on thread for support with it.

I know this. But does this mean, there is no inbuilt support in XF do show flickr images in postings without any addon?

Not out of the box, no.
You need to create media or custom bb code.

Otherwise just use the standard IMG bb code using a correct URL.

How would this look like? I have no clue of bb code...

It just needs to be a standard image URL.
For example: http://xenforo.com/community/data/avatars/l/0/521.jpg

Then click the image icon in the toolbar and embed it.

There is no direct linking possible anymore with flickr. No images with .jpg in the url.



But I found the reason. Sharing for this particular image was restricted.

Nevertheless Thanks for the help

As it says in that message, in the share option for an image (if it can be shared) it provides the BBCode to embed in a post, so you can use that.

As I mentioned elsewhere, there is an add-on that supports Flickr, just search the Resources for it. If there are any issues with that then you can discuss with the author in that resource's discussion thread.
