thx

very userfriendly

by crdunst

Works OK, could be better

The widget pulls in images fine, but the main issue for me is the size parameters. I can only add px values, not percentages or auto. This means that my images are being forced into set heights/widths

by Paul Istoan

Good enough.

It works as it should. One suggestion is if the photos are from a group, link the photo to the actual group stream and not the user stream.

The author responded quickly for my support request and the plugin offers several hooks to tweak it and make it work how you want.
