Responsive Flickr Slideshow

Description

Embeds a responsive slideshow of Flickr images from any album or photoset

Shortcodes are of the format: [fshow url=https://flic.kr/s/aHsiP3Xyxx] or [fshow photosetid=72157627847553181]

The default parameters for api key, username, user_id and photosetid can have values set using the plugin options page that will then be used by default whenever they are omitted from the shortcode.

Have multiple Flickr contributors with different API’s; however, this app only allows for one API to be set; although, does allow for multiple albums to be called from Flickr. Works good, is simple, but not meeting the current multiple photo contributor needs.

This is a good, easy to implement slider for flickr sets. It would be GREAT if it had the option to display photo title and, perhaps, description.
