Long time, no programming…
It has been a while since a) I have posted here (for sure) but also b) I have written a line of code…
This past weekend I had a need for something…
I have in the past found posts online (forums, craigslist etc) where there was a picture that was on flicker, but it was just a link to the static image.
Many times, I would like to expore that users other photographs.
Take for example, this picture:
Which has the following url:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4656738158_3524d85dd8.jpg
If I don’t know this person, than finding the rest of their photos is difficult.
I found this great page here that describes how to move from a static photo to flickr user’s home page:
But that involved a lot of cutting and pasting.
So a little code to the rescue.
I first wrote this in Javascript, but I had difficulty in posting said javascript within the wordpress template. So I rewrote the code in php and I posted it here as a stand alone page:
http://www.gregsteele.net/?page_id=61
So, if you enter the static image url of a flickr image, the above page will generate the url and provide a link to the image on flickr and allow you to browse the rest of their photostream.
I hope others find it useful.
I do.
