How to 'live' link from Flickr
This how to create a link to display 'live' images from a Flickr account here in HTCP without the user needing to click a link. In Flickr go to your Photostream and click the image you want to share to display it full screen. Below the image on the right click the curved arrow. A dialogue will appear offering you four share options. For HTCP select BBCode. Choose the size you want from the drop down list. Copy the link to your clipboard. Paste the link into the HTCP dialogue. Thats's it! The advantage of this method is that there is no size limit as Steve is not hosting your image - only the link. It also means that you can use the Preview button in the HTCP dialogue to check exactly how it will display. One caveat. It will display your name alongside the image as a link to your gallery. Users can click this to go and look at your gallery. If, as I do, you prefer to keep this private you can avoid this. The link you have pasted has two main parts. The first part is the image link. Read through until you reach the first [/url] (It's usually about half way through) and delete everything to its right. This will display just the image with no link. Clicking in the image will only enlarge it. It won't give access to your account. Obviously if you want to invite people to view a whole gallery of images then leave the link untouched. Good luck. Works fine for me. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
