Flickr favourites and Zooomr smartsets as slideshows

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Just for completeness, here are demonstrations of Flickr favourites, and Zooomr SmartSet as slideshows. The xsl for the Flickr one will be added to the distribution shortly.

Zooomr favourites slideshow

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

I managed to get Zooomr sets working by modifying the xslt from last night’s post, but it was too easy, so I’ve knocked up new translations to grab my Zooomr favourites page instead.

2008/03/22: Sorry, this seems to be broken, but I don’t have to figure out why. I imagine it’s because of the recent zooomr upgrade. The zooomr smartset example still works though.

Flickr photoset as a slideshow : proof of concept

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Once again demonstrating the power of xslt, here is a Flickr photoset pulled into a slideshow. The actual photoset is here.

I’ll explain how I did it tomorrow, and attempt the same for Zooomr. Time for bed, at last!

Your Time Has Come

Friday, January 26th, 2007

I found this tonight on Flickr, and it made me laugh, so I thought I should share it. There are more of this cat in a photoset named “Pigeons Killer” that are worth a look too, particularly this one.

Zooomr RSS feeds changed

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

The Zooomr team seem to have fixed their feeds now, as Flickr did in December. This means that all plugins that use XSLT to transform a Zooomr feed need to change their “media” namespace declaration, as outlined in the link above.

If you’re using my slideshow plugin you should either update to the latest version from wp-plugins.org, or hand edit your forward.xslt and reverse.xslt files to add the / on the end of the media namespace definition.
