I've added the flickr API key and Secret to my OpenPublish website on my dev server, but afterwards, I still get several error messages:
"You do not yet have a Flickr API key set. You will need to apply for a Flickr API key and enter your key at the settings administration page before Flickr images may be displayed."
I've double checked and the key is present and matches the flickr Apps Garden page. I've cleared the cache, and I still get the error message.
Any ideas??

One other detail
I am currently developing on a local server behind a firewall. Does the flickr API key require synchronous communication? In other words, does the flickr site need access to my site behind the firewall?
I guess I'll have to answer my own post...
....Looks like the issue here has to do with the embedded media module. Apparently, the OP module, (admin/settings/openpublish) does not pass the API key values to the other modules which require an API key. The OP module makes one THINK that placing the API keys there will distribute the values to all other modules.
It does not.
If one wants to use embedded images, one must add the Flickr API key at admin/settings/flickrapi & at admin/content/emfield.
This REALLY needs to be spelled out in the OpenPublish documentation.
Thank you so much
I was tearing my hair out, what's left of it, when I found your post about the dual entry necessary for the Flickr API in OpenPublish. Thank you so much. Now my images are working. I plan to create a site for local artisans in my town in Mexico to have online galleries. With your help, I'm on my way.
