Pipe: Ultimate Flickr Staff Feed (cross-posted from hacks)
|
Been a while since I played with pipes, should have known Alto would have a healthy group going by now.
I posted this one in Flickr Hacks after a thread in Central...
flickr.com/groups/flickrhacks/discuss/72157607549456643/
PS - How do you do the pretty screenshots? My display is not large enough for most pipes... do you have an app that captures it as you scroll?

Figured it out. But Snag-It *hates* the pipes interface in FireFox, IE did the trick eventually:

clickykbd, thanks for posting.
Actually no, it’s not that I’m taking web screenshots everyday… so I do it manually… i.e. with a few Prnt Scrns and a pair of scissors and tape :)
But, by chance, this week I’ve discovered a screen-capture tool… that was actually built by a programmer at Flickr, but I haven’t tried it out yet…

If it handles X & Y shooting of a scrollable DIV let me know! If it doesn't actually run on top of the browser itself maybe you can set a virtual screen size to render with! That would be fun.

Update. Figured it a nice method... Example:
For screenshotting a whole tall+wide pipe. You can apply the following User CSS in FireFox
body {
overflow: auto; !important;
}
#header, .pipeseditor {
/* adjust value here for width */
width: 2048px; !important;
}
.pipeseditor {
overflow: visible; !important;
}
#editor11 {
/* adjust value here for height */
height: 5000px; !important;
}
I used the Web Developer Add-on to do this [Tools > Web Developer > CSS > Apply User Style Sheet], but there are several ways...
Adjust the width and height to accommodate your entire pipe. The first load of the custom CSS may not render properly. But next re-render fixed it (opening and closing my Firebug menu triggered this).
You can then grab the whole page/screen using ScreenGrab! Add-on or optionally Picnik, where can crop and post directly to flickr.
I didn't try hard enough to get window scroll bars back apparently, but the mousewheel click scroll by movement method still works if you need to inspect the page before shooting.
