Flickr pictobrowser plugin for wordpress
23 July 2007I heard about pictobrowser from Julie and like this much better than the flickr slideshow. However, since “object” and “iframe” are stripped out of wordpress for security reasons, I could no longer embed pictobrowser object directly. Therefore, I modified the flickr slideshow plugin to embed pictobrowser.
- Download the plugin (.zip) here.
- Unzip/install the plugin in your wp-content/plugins directory
- Activate the plugin within wordpress.
- Usage:Once activated you can embed slideshows in your blog post as follows:
[pictobrowseruser_idset_id]
Please feel free to modify the plugin to include tags, and other parameters of pictobrowser. If you do modify the plugin, I would really appreciate if you would inform me of the updates (so that I can use the updated plugin).
Here is the plugin in action (these are photos of Myvatn, Iceland):

Works fine in Firefox, but not in IE6. Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Has anyone had luck altering Pictobrowser’s interface at all? I’d like to remove the “Photo Link” hyperlink that shows to the right side of each caption. Also, is anyone running Pictobrowser without the frame around it? (It shows up on any page that doesn’t have a white background.) I’d love to run it without. Thanks! Tom

This plugin doesn’t seem to work on Pages either

The plugin will work on pages. Check the page template in the theme you are using.

does anyone know if there is a way to affect the Alpha? i tried bgAlpha=\”8\” but it didn’t seem to work
January 25th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
I know my credibility might be shot with #$%^ing up the pages comment earliet, but i haven’t been able to figure out how to use this plugin to post a group or pool. I even went into the source and replaced ’sets’ with ‘groups’, and it doesn’t seem to be rendering at all.
An update that can address this would be much appreciated!

Super plugin but I cannot use it because it didn’t work in IE!!! Can anybody tell me why?
January 28th, 2008 at 4:42 am
@Tom, pictobrowser uses flash and therefore doesn’t allow for the changes you are looking for. You might want to contact the developers of pictobrowser.
@Kate, currently flickr API (which is used in pictobrowser) doesn’t support display of collections. Therefore, you cannot in general display multiple sets. However, if you have multiple sets with a particular tag, you can then show multiple sets using that tag. If you want to use the tag, you need to modify the plugin to use tag instead of sets.
@gfxmonkey, I am not sure what Alpha are you referring to?
@Jeremy, to include groups, you need to edit the plugin source (flickrPictobrowser.php) and add “&source=groups” instead of sets. Also remember to add the group id (not the name but an id) and use it instead of the set id. That is, once you edit the plugin source, you can add the photos using .
@Ibrahim and Eddie, you cannot see it in IE because of security settings in your IE. The plugin works on my webpage when viewed through IE on my home computer (IE 6 and IE 7).

Thanks so mucho for writing pictobrowser into wordpress. You have made a very clean, nice useful tool even more useful. I did alter it some so that I could use the zoom and pull the original sized file from flickr. Here is the altered code..
thanks again,
dave
added:
&imageSize=original
&initialZoom=on
&bgAlpha=90
&initialScale=on
changed: (to comply with site conventions)
PB_WIDTH = 600
PB_HEIGHT - 500
*/
define(”PB_WIDTH”, 600);
define(”PB_HEIGHT”, 500);
define(”PB_REGEXP”, “/\/”);
define(”PB_TARGET”, “”);

Kumara,
This is fabulous! I used Diego’s “Pictobrowser Builder” at http://www.db798.com/pictobrowser/builder.php to make a slideshow with all the modifications I needed. Then I gingerly edited your plugin to match. Now I can work with Wordpress pages and posts that contain a Pictobrowser without crashing my template. I still have to use the Builder to find out what my userID# and setID# is every time, but I’m guessing if I tried hard, I could find those on Flickr.
Anyhoo, thanks for making my life much easier.

Just started using Wordpress, and I’m so glad I came across your plug in, Kumara. Thank you for making such a user-friendly, elegant way to show my flickr photos in my blog.
One suggestion for an improvement is to increase the font size of the image title and notes.
