Update to Flickr Ticker

view profile

g l u b says:

I've been making lots of tweaks to my Flickr Ticker. Take a look at a themed version and tell me if you like it, and if you have any suggestions. You can change the stream feed by clicking on the logo on the bottom right.

www.flickrticker.com/themes

Thanks in advance!

Mostly I love it. It's great that clicking on any of the photos will immediately take you to the pic's homepage. The one problem I did encounter was this:

Because the photos are all uploading at different rates of speed and are different sizes, sometimes the smaller ones get buried by the larger and you can't click on them before they're off the screen again.

Otherwise, fantastic job on it.

Nice, thank you for interesting tool.

Tell us something more about hidden options like:
www.flickrticker.com/?username=*CezCze*
www.flickrticker.com/?explore=true

regards
*CezCze*

P.S.
I cannot find on the site:
www.flickrticker.com
any address to communicate with you (email?)
There is not information about author.

There are not any suggestions how to link (with nice banner) to your site.
I do so:
www.flickr.com/people/cze/
:


A scrolling flash presentation of *CezCze* images;
you can click on flying up photos:
www.flickrticker.com/?username=*CezCze*
(wait for a while after click to start)

I've added a couple of new features.

1. you can now mouse over a scrolling image to pause it.
2. the image the mouse is over will come to the top if it's not already there

Today the ticker made the homepage of digg, and before I knew it my key "expired". I can't say I'm too happy about that.

why you changed address from:
www.flickrticker.com/
to
www.fototickr.com/
?
old address will remain?

The ticker got on the home page of digg and created lots of traffic. Flickr in turn killed my development key; twice. Sigh. I tried talking to them through official channels and through someone I know that works there. But I was essentially stonewalled.

Thinking Flickr is not happy with me... I thought it was possible for them to come after me having Flickr in my URL. So, I changed it to fototickr.com just to be safe.

Thank you for the answer.
1. There is not any information about author on your site and any address to communicate with you (email? flickr address?).
Is it possible to change?
2. Are there any hidden option in the fototicker (flickrticker) which are not listed if you click on the logo on the bottom right of fototicker screen?

My information is there... it you click the fototickr logo in the bottom right a dialog will appear. On that dialog is a link to my flickr account. As for other options, there is an option to disable some of the functionality if running as a screensaver.

Thank you for your patience.
On my computer the dialog box is a little to small (in Internet Explorer) and I have to use a scroll bar to see the link - there was the problem.

1. Where is an information how to start your application as a Windows screensaver? How I can do this?

2. Please write a little about Feed Flick Query.

3. Where is (on Internet) a description about fototickr hidden options (other than www.flickr.com/photos/glub/511311310/)?

4. Maybe you know, where I can find an application which will start a chosen Internet site as a Windows screensaver (possibly yours)?

Hi Cez,

I'm not quite sure what the issue is with the dialog? Were there scrollbars in the dialog itself?

1. I don't have any information about a Windows screensaver. I'm looking into it though. A friend of mine included the tickr in a Mac screensaver he wrote: cobaltedge.com/index.php/visionary-saver/

2. Query does a keyword and tag search just as if you did the search in Flickr's search box. You can narrow the search to a user by including the userID.

3. No hidden options are documented anywhere. Mostly so I can change them if needed without problem. I do have a Greasemonkey script here: www.fototickr.com/gm/fototicker.user.js

4. I don't know the answer to this, but if you find one I'd be interested in knowing as well.
