==Download==
Alternatively you can download the file from the link [http://shohei.yokoyama.ac/%E3%82%BD%E3%83%95%E3%83%88%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A7%E3%82%A2/MediaWiki_Extension/FlickrSet/en here].
== Usage==
===Image Viewer===
* Create '''Image Viewer''' from Flickr photo-set
* Save the viewer source code into '''cache''' directory
* Load '''Image Viewer''' from '''cache'''
* Show the viewer
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">
 <flickrset>photo-set-id1</flickrset>;

Cache Control

Basis
- If the viewer source code does not exist in cache directory then it is created using Flickr APIs. This process is complicated, takes some time to create cache.
- If the viewer source code exists in cache directory then the photo viewer is loaded from cache.

Cache update

Change plus/minus sign

Ex.:

<flickrset>77777777777</flickrset> ⇒ <flickrset>-77777777777</flickrset>
