flickr key

I saw something similar when I created my DebugFlickr block. I don't remember the exact issue, but I didn't get it to work.

An alternative is you can hard code your Flickr key in the Javascript. This is not ideal though because other Mashups using your shared block will be using your key. Unless your block is used by tons of people, this is probably ok for now. Its a short term solution.

DebugFlickrClass.prototype._getFlickrXml = function(method, params)
{
var apikey = "splat in your key here";
var root = environment.getXml("http://www.flickr.com/services/rest/?method="+ method + params +"&api_key="+ apikey, "flickr");

return root;
};

Hi Sachin, we do not support ripping blocks that require a Developer Key. There are reasons specific to protecting the keys of block authors from being misused and to respect the licensing terms with the service providers of such blocks, that required us to make this decision.

You may ask why then that we have the "rip" feature available for these blocks. The reason is that some of these blocks are great examples of how to write a block, that will benefit block authors.
