New unobtrusive dynamic flickr badge
A work colleague who runs Tobago Retreats asked me to create a gallery badge that automatically shows her latest flickr photos in her gallery and I started another flickr badge from scratch.
The outcome looks like this:
All you have to provide is a link to the flickr stream or the tagged images in your stream as a text link with a DIV with the class “flickrbadge” around it.
The script is a single include and loads the style sheet and the YUI help files on demand when they are needed. Visitors can see your photos on the page and click the thumbnails to see the larger preview. You can style the badge any way you like by changing the supplied CSS file.
The script is licensed Creative Commons attribution and is free for use.
If there is interest in a step by step explanation how it works, retrieves the YUI files and the flickr data, I can write something up, but for the moment I’ll be happy about feedback on the script as it is.
It does not work in Opera at the moment and I have a bug request with them running.
Check out the script and download it on its homepage: dynamic JavaScript flickr badge v2

Her pics looked great, reminded me of Jamaica last year :-)
I think that if you give the JS call a type=”text/javascript”, you’ll be golden!
Nice work.

Ah, but there is a misconception. The text/javascript attribute is actually not really needed, as ever since NS2.0 JS was the only language running in browsers!

I’m not certain what keeps amazing me the most. Yours (and others) skills or your willingness to share.

Is there an easy-ish way to change the number of thumbnails being shown? Honestly, your ‘evil, dark magic’ was to powerfull for me to decode.
(sorry for double commenting)

@Jesper alas, not yet. I hard-coded the amount of photos to 5 a piece with 4 lists, as the JSON API only returns 20 photos at a time. Personally I hate having to click through feeds photo by photo. Maybe in a next version :)

This is good stuff. Any chance of a Wordpress plugin for this?
September 11th, 2007 at 7:39 pm
Maybe a nice addition to this great job. Translating the little text that’s used; read out the language attribute of the element/document and display the translated version…

Hi Chris
I really like this badge that you have created, but would like to know if it’s possible to increase the size of the images in the badge?
Thanks

Great tool … thanks.
Is there any way to select a collection rather than a tag – I have my photos organised in collections with different tags that cross multiple collections.
thanks

Christian,
After hours of searching, this badge is exactly what I want to fill in the gap left by the absence of album thumbnails for sets in Flickr. But when I cut and paste the code into my website – nothing happens. First thought is that I am doing something wrong. I am just cutting and pasting the code below into an html page:
My latest photos
on flickr
Any thoughts?

Do you know a possibility to display the title of the photo above each image?

can this work with a flickr group? It works great with my flickr page but I tried it with a group I’m an administrator of and the images wouldn’t show?
Thanks

also requesting a version that would work with a flickr group.
would really appreciate this capability.

Thank you so very much for sharing this awesome piece of coding with the world.

Wondering if there is a way to display a set of photos instead of my photostream?
Thanks much!
