I was completely stumped for a very long time, too. Here are the steps for flickr: 1) Upload your images. 2) Click on "Your Photostream" 3) Click on the 1st image that you want in your gallery 4) Right click the image 5) Click on the link next to "view all sizes" 6) Right click the image, again...then go to "copy image address" 7) Paste the image in your gallery 8) Repeat the steps for each image I tried a few months ago with the json method, then I gave up until I desperately needed to learn how to add url images. Therefore, I don't know if I did any extra "pre-steps" not mentioned above. Try this, and let me know if it helps.

I like Flickr. Limited to 200 on free account (pay $25 and you get unlimited) but it removes strain from you server, looks slick and image captions are generated from the email upload screen. If you need help shout, few good threads on how to implement.

Hey MacApple, I was actually going to ping you on this very subject. I'd like to create an image gallery from Flickr where people can upload from my app, and then they'll show up in my image gallery. But, I want to be able to approve the image first. I think you ran into this problem with one of your apps? To me, Flickr is more confusing than Xcode. Would you have time to write up a short (one page?) tutorial on it? Mark

@Alfrea Thank you for your reply. But Im before that. On point 7 you say paste on your gallery, I dont have a gallery yet. Thats my problem. I'm using BT2.0 and there is no image gallery plugin. Should I try to get a html gallery code and paste it there? Thanks guys

Those directions are for v1.5. I just starting playing around with 2.0. Will someone chime in for 2.0 instructions?

the posts from got fox? in this thread got my Flickr gallery up and running: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=12AC6263FC09A9E177D6D32 the image gallery plug-in in BT 2.0 has no UPLOAD functionality yet. but what really sold me on Flickr is the fact that the photos can be modded and descriptions edited by anyone, anywhere with the Flickr login. you'll want to consider adminstration when dealing with photos you may have strangers uploading. one can only image what might show up....

So I got something to work. I grabbed a simple html code from here http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_image_gallery.asp. I can set up the images in each thumbnail. But if I click the the image, wanting it to go full screen, I get a IOS error code . 1100iOS error message: the requetsed URL was not found on this server. But i do see the thumbnail. Any ideas?

I got passed this, I added the <a href= code that redirects to a full screen. Now a new problem, how do I go back.... If I press back on the top toolbar it goes back to the menu and not the gallery. I activated the back button for the browser but it does not light up, I cannot click it. Its as if it does understand that I went from the gallery to the full screen.

@MadRod indeed there is a BT 2.0 Image gallery plug-in. works with FLICKR great. i think it was referenced in a post and not part of the standard BT Server download. not sure how i got it but you can grab it here: http://www.skomp.net/BT/bt_screen_images.zip remember tho: it has No UPLOAD capability like the 1.5 gallery. but this is why i push it thru Flickr so others can contribute to it and admin it.

Thans ATRAIN53. But I have to be running BT on my own server to be able to use this plugin, right?
