My little module has definitely been trumped. This is the direction I was heading, but you beat me to it. Great job Jason.

Great Modules. the best Flickr modules to this day.
how about add a option in "edit" to remove the "?" at the bottom.

Couldn't the photos be random? Seems like that'd probably be possible using the Flickr API.
– Ian Monroe 32 months ago
Doesn't work for me, even though another Flickr module does. Has something changed?
– Steve Ryan 32 months ago
Oops - now it works. I block javascript on a per-site basis, and had to allow your site. For some reason the other module didn't require this. Yours looks good now.
– Steve Ryan 32 months ago
Rhyspace: Good idea, I'll update it soon to have the help optional.
Ian: I checked the Flickr API and don't see a way to return photos randomly. If you don't specify tags or username, my module returns all photos, most recent uploaded. I'll see if I can do something to make it psuedo-random.

I've uploaded a new version. I'm not sure if it'll auto-update. If the help doesn't say version 1.1, remove the module from your homepage and re-add it.
New to this version:
* Fading technique for IE (previously Firefox only)
* Support for Opera
* New multiple images at once mode (3x3 grid, similar to other modules)
* Drop shadow (Firefox and Opera)
* New help icon
* Ability to remove help icon
Has anyone tested this in Safari?

Jason, you can check out this site for browser tests. It works well, they let you download a small app (no setup needed, but it's a desktop app), and then you can login to a variety of browsers/ OSs:

Jason, excellent job. I'm really impressed. One tiny addition to suggest...
My default background color for my browser is #EEEEEE (helps remind me to set background colors when programming CSS). You may want to adjust the CSS of your module to set the background to white.

Good catch Scott.
Is there any interest to have the module authenticate you with Flickr so you can see private photos of yours and your contacts?

Jason, this is awesome. thanks so much.
I totally understand why randomness is hard to do with the api, but as a new user, randomness of some sort is easily my most desired feature -- it looks like the flickr badge has a "display=random" attribute; any way to leverage that in a non-hacky way? keep up the great work!

Nice work, Jason! I'd request that you allow me to use the Google style (default browser style?) font face for the photo labels in place of a forced Serif font face. I much prefer a Sans font.

I dig it. Thanks!

Small update:
* Displays photos pseudo-randomly when no tags or user name are chosen
* Uses Google's font choice, not mine
* Corrects background color for non-white backgrounds
Not sure how Google updates your the module on your homepage, I'm testing that out. If you must have the new version now, see my previous post above.

It appears that Google updates modules after a few hours (at most). All of you Flickr fans should have the latest version.

How difficult would it be to also incorporatean option to view photos from specified groups' pools?
I realize I could instead just use a different module for doing something like that, but don't you think it would be better if you were to maintain _the_ flickr google module that could do anything that any of the other modules can do? I don't see how it could take that much more work to get the same functionality that some of the other modules already have going.

Eric,
I checked into adding groups. Getting photos from groups won't be hard. What will be hard is figuring out (a user friendly way) to allow you to specify a group. There are two or three ways of doing it. The easiest for me to implement, and likely the user friendliest, would be to specify the group's URL as a preference under Edit.
I'll put that on the list for the next version (can't promise it will be anytime soon. I am working on another module that is almost complete).

New version with Group support. You'll need the groups URL (to its homepage) in order to display its photos:
Example: Flickr Central - www.flickr.com/groups/central/

Very good module. It works very well but for (you knew that was coming ;-) the fact I can't click on a photo to view it on flickr. If I click a photo I get a javascript error. This is with Firefox 1.5 on Windows XP. The Javascript console gives me the error photos[this.index] has no properties (line 274)
– norcimo 31 months ago
Doh. A regression. I'll get it fixed this weekend. I saw one other issue that I'll fix also.
– Jason F 31 months ago
Okay, should be fixed. Also fixed an issue with the first image having the wrong title.
– Jason F 31 months ago
I'm having weird problems with the module via Safari. In IE/XP everything looks fine, but in Safari the pictures are oddly centered and sized.
– Eltonito 31 months ago
Eltonito -- I don't have easy access to a Mac. Can you take a screen shot and email it to me?
– Jason F 31 months ago
Jason,
Thanks for the fix! Everything works fine when in single image mode. However, viewing multiple photos in the tiled mode clicking a photo seems to load flickr with a random photograph, rather than the one clicked (or as best I can tell any of those being shown). While that can be quite fun I doubt it's what you meant!!

Thanks again norcimo. I've upload the fix and Google should cache it soon. Try in a few hours and see if its working.
– Jason F 31 months ago
Excellent. Works perfectly now. Thanks Jason

how about the ability to randomly select images from all your contacts? i dont just want to see one person's photos - i want to see what all my friends have been up to.
cheers! its a great module.
