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.
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.
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!
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.
This post is for “ovidiu”, whoever you are.
The request (from a comment on another post) was to do a slideshow from images found in a wordpress feed on his site. All I had to do was modify my XSLT file a little to convert your category feed into the format the slideshow expects.
Ok, it’s time I used a different stream for the slideshow. This one’s from Flickr this time, displaying the latest photos tagged with ‘Scotland’.
Update, 7 December 2006: The flickr stream isn’t working because of a change to their rss feeds. See the new post for details and a fix for Flickr feeds.
Update, 9 January 2007: It works again. The Zooomr team seem to have fixed their feeds now too, so I fixed my plugin.
Update, 24 July 2007: Oh dear, this is slightly broken due to some changes at Flickr w.r.t. image urls. I’ll fix it soon.
Another hat-tip to Flickr Hits.
This is something I’ve been working on over the last few days. It’s a WordPress plugin that takes a Zooomr or Flickr photo stream and displays it as a slideshow on your page. It’s only tested on Firefox just now, so if it works in IE, it’s pure luck. More details soon, but for now enjoy this feed of the ’starjump’ tag from Zooomr, especially the flippin sweet martial arts ones.
Update: status and documentation of the plugin is at wp-plugins.net.
Hint: click a thumbnail and a bigger version of the image will appear. More thumbnails will appear as necessary, but only 5 are shown at one time.
This is a great photo. It looks more like a painting. I was never any good at critical analysis in art class. Go and take a closer look for yourself. I found it via Flickr Hits (again).
You could easily spend hours trawling through Zooomr and Flickr. Ok, maybe you couldn’t, but I could.
Here are some really impressive photos I’ve found on Flickr. They’re already nice macro photographs, but you can see them in 3D. And there’s hundreds of them!
These can be viewed as is by slightly de-focusing your eyes and then cross them until an image appears in the middle and then relax your eyes to get a stable 3-D image. It’s worth the trouble!
