BB Code Enhancements - 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.

Title: Flickr Slideshow

Tag: flickr

Replacement:
HTML Code:

PHP Code:

<iframe align="center" src="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?group_id={param}&user_id={param}&set_id={param}&text={param}" frameBorder="0" width="600" height="600" scrolling="no"></iframe> 


Example: [flickr]72157620997452434[/flickr]

Description: Embeds a Flickr Set Slideshow into your post

Use {option}: No

Button Image: (upload my attached "flickr.gif" if you like)

Remove Tag If Empty: Yes

Disable BB Code Within This BB Code: No

Disable Smilies Within This BB Code: No

Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code: No

I have a tutorial video for my members and a sample slideshow if you'd like to take a look:

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.

oops, you know what? I think I just used this code: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=235129

Hi Bogley,
your flickr works great even though when I added it said:
The following BB Code replacement may not be properly formed. All HTML attributes should be enclosed within double quotes.

<iframe align="center" src="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?group_id={param}&user_id={param}&set_id= {param}&text={param}" frameBorder="0" width="600" height="600" scrolling="no"></iframe>
but I just click on "continue" and it was just fine.

But for the photobucket at the link you said you used that code, it just couldn't work. When I try on my forum it just has the logo of photobucket and trying to load the slide and that's all I got. Any thought about it?
Thanks!
btw, do you have this mode for flickr video as well?

Installed and working on 4.1.4 and vBCMS. Thanks for this valuable mod.

If you get it stripping the whole url not just the ID, it would be very nice to use but for now I love it. It's better to publish a slideshow than a lot of images in a post.

Nice hack but how is it regarding copyright infringement and the legal side when embedding flickr images via iframe?

[Ramsesx]

To answer this question by myself, seems it's ok because this site is offering the embedding code since years.
The hack works fine on 4.1.5, thanks for sharing.

Thank you working for 4.1.7

Very Nice

Update for the newest version of flickr iframe:

<iframe align="center"  src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/{param}/in/photostream/player/" width="800" height="547" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe>

The user must now copy both their user name and the photo ID. That's not a problem, they're side by side in the url, so it's a simple cut and paste.

Tested and running on my forum, presented as is, no guarantee.

So how should this work ?

I have replaced the code with your code above.. And am using

PHP Code:

{flickr]username/99999999[/flickr] 


With my own username/set ID number cut and pasted from the flickr URL

And thats clearly not working..

Tried the same with the cut and paste from the URL of username/set/999999999999

Whats the format ??

[rharbison]

That's the correct format. See it in action here:

Did you follow the instructions at the beginning of the thread? You create the BBCode exactly as the OP specified, but you insert the code I provided above.
