I don’t know what’s up, but zooomr is returning error pages instead of the favourites and sets pages, and my plugin’s broken as a result. There’s nothing really that I can do at the moment. Follow progress in this discussion thread on Zooomr.
Yesterday I tagged version 0.4 of my slideshow plugin (and 0.93 of the underlying inlinerss plugin), and upgraded this site to use it.
The surprise new feature that I managed to knock together over the weekend is a full-screen mode. It was easy at first, taking a couple of hours on Saturday, but then I looked at it in Internet Explorer and it was a mess. The sooner IE6 is dead, the better. 7 is a huge improvement.
With the advent of Zooomr Mark III, all slideshows with photos from Zooomr are broken. I’m not trying to apportion any blame, but I can’t do anything about this until the following things happen over at Zooomr:
As soon as I notice these getting fixed, I’ll fix my XSLT files, and we’ll be back to normal.
Update 2007/07/14: the RSS feeds from people’s photos pages seem to be working, using rssfeed.xsl.
Update 2007/21/14: zooomr sets are back, and zooomrset.xsl is fixed in the trunk.
Update 2007/22/14: zooomr favourites are back, and my slideshow’s fixed. New post coming soon with details.
If you’ve used Zooomr, go help them out with a small donation. They need new hardware fast to get their latest version up and running. Get the full story here.
Get the donate link at the bottom of this page. We’re trying to give Kristopher a nice surprise when he wakes up in the morning.
If you’re here for the slideshow plugin, please bear in mind that all Zooomr feeds and pages are currently down due to the upgrade to Mark III. I expect a few glitches once the site returns too.
With yesterday’s announcement that Zooomr mark III will arrive in March, it got me thinking about the things I’d like to see either addressed or added.
More info on these soon, but here’s the photos for now.
I’m starting to put all my old photos up on Zooomr, now that I’ve got the slideshow in a reasonable state, and can get at Zooomr photo sets. So, we begin back in 2003 with the first half of a long holiday in Australia, visiting family.
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.
