Flickr Badge — A Fun Little SmartBlock
21/06/07 21:03 Filed in: Smartblock
I whipped up a little smart block today. It's
just one of the badges from the Flickr site. I took
the code they provided, simplified it a bit and
inserted a SmartTag to control the user ID and
voila, it's a cool little reusable library element.
To use it:
1) Click on the picture to the right to download it.
2) Safari usually decompresses these sorts of things, but if your browser doesn't, then double click the zip file to decompress it. It should then be called, "flickrbadge.block"
3) Drag the file from the Finder to the middle of a Blocks layout.
4) Open your Blocks library.
5) Drag the library element to a blocks layout.
6) Open the Smart Info window and customize the Flicker ID
To find your Flickr ID, open up your Flickr photo stream and click on the RSS feed (it's the blue rectangle in the address bar of Safari).
Your Flickr ID is in there. Here's what Nik Fletchers RSS feed url looks like:
feed://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=80573242@N00&lang=en-us&format=atom
The ID is the part in there that's after "id=" and before the next "&". That's what you'll want to put into the Smart Info window.
Just so were clear, here's one more example (this is my stream):
feed://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=41787274@N00&;lang=en-us&format=atom
