Flickr Gallery Embed
The Flickr Gallery Advanced Element allows you to easily embed a pre-existing Flickr Gallery that is fully responsive and optimized for mobile viewing.
Important information regarding Flickr accounts:
University Communications does not have access to your individual department Flickr accounts, so please make sure to keep track of your Flickr account username and password. We also recommend using a generic department email address if one exists, so that if the original creator of the account is no longer employed by Elon other faculty or staff in your department can access the account at a later date.
If you would rather not create a Flickr account, please consider using the native gallery grid or gallery slideshow components.
