GeoFlickr

Descripción

GeoFlickr is a WordPress plugin that displays a map of the location where the photo was taken, for all embedded Flickr photos that contain GPS coordinates.

For every photo in a wordpress post/page that is hosted on Flickr, this plugin adds a small red balloon in the top left corner when the mouse is hovering over the photo. If the photo is geotagged on Flickr, meaning it contains GPS coordinates in the EXIF metadata, a click on the balloon displays a pop-up featuring a Google Satellite map of the surroundings.

GeoFlickr features:

• very discrete overlay on the image
• jQuery and thickbox
• Most calls to the Flickr API are done on the client side – so there is minimal additional load or delay on the server
• If your photo has geo-location data embedded, shows it as a marker on Google map with reverse geo-location to fetch the place name
• HTTPS compatible

Configuration

1. To configure plugin, go to ‘Settings’ -> ‘GeoFlickr’ from the WordPress dashboard
2. Enter your flickr API key. The key can be obtained for free by visiting https://www.flickr.com/services/apps/
3. Enter your Google Maps API key. The key can be set up, for free up to a certain threshold, via https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/ by following https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6158862

Usage

Any post or page of the WordPress site, that contains a photo embedded from Flickr, will diplay a red balloon when hovering the mouse on the photo. The balloon will show only if the image has EXIF GPS coordinates on Flickr. A click on that balloon will show the map inside a Thickbox popup.

The plugin automatically considers all posts and pages.
