In essence, Flickr doesn’t seem to take too well to being embedded in an iframe. I remember a site I designed some years ago: it worked for months, and then suddenly Flickr changed the rules, and all the slideshows went blank. I haven’t tried it recently. The link below seems to offer some alternatives, midst a range of other “more-heat-than-light” posts.

Nat, Josh: Jerimee pointed me your way. I’ve created 3-column home pages on three NationBuilder websites: BaltimoreOrchard.org, MandalaEnterprise.org and BaltimoreConservatory.org. (The latter is under development.)
1. Edit the template for the page where you want three columns (in my case the home page).
2. Wrap the content in one div, with an ID of “col_1”. This will be the section that’s editable when you click “Edit this page.” For instance, if it’s a Basic page, the content will be: {{ page.basic.content }}
3. Create a second div, with an ID of col_2, containing subpages that automatically bring in other content. For instance:
{% subpage “news” with “featured_news” %}
4. Create _featured_news.html with the appropriate Liquid Template code to call in content from other pages. NationBuilder has some sample code for _blog_latest.html (equivalent to featured_news.html), on their site.
See “Display content from one page on another page” section, at
http://nationbuilder.com/themedocumentation
5. Style the two divs in style.scss, by giving each column a width of about 47%, and floating #col_2 to the right.

The featured slideshow is available at the top of every NationBuilder page. But I’d LOVE to additionally have a Flickr feed slildeshow option. The built-in featured content template is quite specific in its functionality, and a bit of a project to modify it so that some pages offer links from the photos, and some don’t. So I vote this feature suggestion as definitely useful!
(We need a site for snippets like this.)
I’d modify this: In addition to the listing, there should be a calendar format. It’s rather an omission that NationBuilder doesn’t have this.
