The Flickr feed provider in PADS4 allows you to retrieve images from Flickr, an online photo-sharing platform.

​
Steps to Add/Modify a Flickr Feed Connection in PADS4

​
1. Start the Data Provider Wizard

  • Open the Data Provider Wizard by following the instructions in Adding a Data Provider or Editing a Data Provider.
  • Select Flickr Feed as the provider type.

​
2. Specify Flickr Search Arguments

  • Enter the Flickr search terms to retrieve images matching specific keywords.
  • You can filter images based on:
    • Tags (keywords to find relevant photos).
    • User ID (retrieve images from a specific Flickr user).
    • Date range (filter photos by upload date).
    • Sort order (most recent, most relevant, etc.).
  • Click Next to continue.

​
3. Complete the Wizard

  • Click Finish to finalize the Flickr feed data provider.
  • The PADS4 Viewer will retrieve and display Flickr images in real-time.

​
Important Considerations

  • Data Server Access:
    • If using a PADS4 Data Server, ensure that Flickr is accessible from the server’s point of view.
    • If not using a Data Server, verify that each PADS4 Designer and Viewer has an active internet connection.

By following these steps, you can successfully connect PADS4 to Flickr and display dynamic image content in your digital signage presentations.
