    Awesome idea. Could make for a great extension. Just include the latest flickr stuff right at the bottom of the profile info...

    Mark > Yeah, just need one of these fine folks to make it now and we'll be well away.

    Until I can do XML acrobatics within php, I am in no way shape or form touching this one :D no offense stuart, I love the idea, I'm just a bit underskilled to take this one on.
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    I might do this one myself.... after I've released the next revision of Vanilla, though.

    I've been playing with XML outside of the workplace for the past week or so and did a few tricks with Flickr, Netflix, and even Tivo exported XML. I have pages noting what I'm watching and photos I've recently took, for example. I'm looking to continue to expand this over time as a sort of experiment on how much personalized information I can aggregate from various web services.

    I grab the feed, transform the XML, and publish the resulting HTML using Apache Cocoon and cURL, not PHP. But, I could help if you guys are interested in using XSLT for the transformations. Like I said, theoretically, you could even do the transformations on the client via JavaScript.

    Yeah, lovely idea!

    XML in php5 is yummily simple. If you've any experience with Javascript the whole experience is very pleasant. http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-xmlphp.php#Heading4

    lech, can't you just use php_flag short_open_tag off in your .htaccess to disable it just for yourself? I think you can't do that if PHP is using phpsuexec though so depends on your host.
  • lechlech ✭
    I would do that, if .htaccess files correctly registered on my server in the first place :) my server is set up by the most insane means :)

    Or you could do it the easy way, use the old flickr badge code like I do at http://jermexpress.com and style it all you like. This is what the old badge code looks like: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.flickr.com/badge_code.gne?nsid=49382004@N00&count=3&display=random&name=0&size=square&raw=1"></script> All you need to do is have each member submit their flickr id number instead of their alias which is this part I think "49382004@N00".
  • JErmJErm
    Heh I just figured that people with flickr aliases wouldn't even know what their flickr id number is.. *lol* But still this might work...

    When you make the badge it gives you it, mine, f'rinstance is 48889119704@N01

    Would it be possible to some images to the sidebar on the index page? thanks. Steve
  • NickENickE New
    It would, but a potential problem is that requesting and parsing the flickr rss feed takes a good while (relatively speaking), so your page loads would probably be pretty slow.
  • steviehypesteviehype
    I was think of just having 3-4 pictures. Do you still think it would be slow? I would really appreciate it someone has something like this, I really want to get a few pictures on my index page and I think this would be a fantastic way to do it.
