Flickr Set Slideshow - bbcode
 

I was very frustrated in my search for an easy bbcode hack for Flickr. I tried the basic iframe but Flickr put a stop to that in a half second.

I'd love to find a way to just copy the entire url and quickly paste it in between the tags, but I've had no such luck in my search across the series of tubes we call the interwebs. If anybody has a solution I would love to have it.

In the meantime, this method is working out pretty decently. Rather than grabbing the whole url of the Flickr Set, you/your members will need to copy the set id, the last numbers in the url.

This is my second mod, the first is my picasaweb hack, posted @15 minutes ago so I hope I'm giving you adequate information.

As I said on my picasaweb mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=243366)
...I'll have to say NO on the support at this time, I'm still a noob and not that great at problem solving, I'm hoping the community can chime in with any issues.

Thanks.

I am using vb 4.0.2 by the way

In what file and placement does the code go?

Thanks,

Greg

Then just fill in the blanks. :)

Weird, I got it working but it's showing other people's photos..

For example I used this set ID between the tags.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/profitt...7624328201052/

The link seems to work fine.

Any thoughts?

are you using that whole url or just the set id of 72157624328201052? It's meant to just use the set id.

Can you show me a link of your example?

I just used the set ID

[FLICKR]72157624431376072[/FLICKR]

Here is the thread

The set link is

http://www.flickr.com/photos/profitt...7624431376072/

Is that a private forum? It asks for a login.

Give it a go now.

:o oops, I just noticed I had "picasa" in the tag name rather than "flickr". That's fixed now.

Would that happen to be part of your problem?
