Flickr component for easy integration of phpFlickr

You will have access to phpflickr instance in your controllers: $this->flickr, and in your views: $flickr.

It will use the dir app/tmp/cache/flickr for caching

1. Copy phpFlickr to app/vendors/phpflickr/

2. Copy this to app/controllers/components/flickr.php and change the api key to yours (you can get your api key in https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=139987 )
