I finally have it working but I don't know how, sorry to be no help. The app does seem a little flakey though, not always working or coming up with odd things. Hope you sort it.

 

[jimmy83]

Anyone else have this problem?

the app is a little flakey since the new look to FB. generally i dont bother with the box any more and just rely on the updates in my news feed, although they are generally 4-5 hours behind the actual upload to flickr.

Can you remember how you added the box?

 

[neil_g]

it used to just be a tickbox within the app settings but i cant get it to work anymore..

Anyone managed to get this working?

hi jimmy83
I done this today wasn't straight forward but with a bit of messing around i got it working

first i used your second link and then added the facebook app and also become a fan.
I then when to my facebook and clicked on the flickr links which added a tab.

I then followed this when you go to search and save

http://apps.facebook.com/myflickr/manage/
1. Choose what photos you want to show by searching
+ http://apps.facebook.com/myflickr/search/
2. Manage the newly created search
+ http://apps.facebook.com/myflickr/manage/
3. In the "Profile Tab" tab, configure and click the "Generate Tab" button

I hope this might help

I removed mine as it seemed like it kept losing the connection between the two. I've since set up a group on Facebook for my photography anyway.

Ive done this part, but dont quite follow your next steps

 

[kimo]

have you got a tab added?

 

[jimmy83]

have you got a tab added?

Yup

 

[kimo]

click on the flickr tab
then you should have a search/manage/configure link. if you click that then you have to add your photo searches and save. you can also add your profiles as well.
I followed this link (you need to be logged on favcebook )http://www.facebook.com/profile.php...topic.php?uid=2352557895&topic=5013#post16054 to help me but i did have to try it a couple of times

hth

Thanks for your help, but iam still struggling

Do you now have the flickr box on your profile? As Iam not sure if you have the tab or box/or both?

 

[kimo]

the tab is under my profile. if its not there on yours click on the add icon and flickr should be in the list.

 

[jimmy83]

Yeah ive got the tab



but no tthe box on the left handside of my profile

 

[kimo]

go to the facebook settings tab and then click application settings you can then add the box there
