I love it! That is true beauty.
One issue (not necessarily a bug): If I go back to one of the earlier steps, I lose all the changes I've made in the steps after that one. So, for example if I create my badge and then decide that I actually want to show only the photos from a particular set, I have to enter the colors and everything again.
Otherwise, it's perfect!
[Edit: OK, so Flickr remembers the colors. I seem to lose some options I've already specified, such as the number of photos. Some things Flickr remembered, though, such as the color scheme I chose.]
[Second edit: Setting background color to "transparent" doesn't work with the Flash badge. AFAIK, there isn't even a way to make Flash transparent, though it's quite possible I'm wrong.]

I'm in agreement with quas. The "transparent" setting for the flash badge doesn't work.

Oh, this is great! Took me awhile to realize that "link" color in this context means border around each photo which is linked to the flickr photo page -- couldn't figure out where that blue was coming from . . .
This is the feature I've been waiting for. Thanks.

Bug: With the Flash Badge, clicking towards the top of it (but still below the www.flickr.com link) links to Flickr's main page, not the photo you clicked on.

Collin - so you click on the photo itself? Or the little bit of white space under the www link (ie not the photo)?
Posted 87 months ago.

I can confirm Collin's bug report. Click anywhere in the top half of the top row of images, and you'll end up at flickr.com.
Also, not necessarily a bug, but I noticed that clicking on a photo takes you to photo.gne?id=[whatever], instead of user/photo/[whatever]. It redirects you, of course, but you should still probably change that. :)

maybe I'm just not getting it ... I generated some code to make a badge, and pasted it in as an entry/post in movable type ... wanted to get some feedback on it before committing it to the design. I just get some links ... www.laurafries.com/archives/testing_.html (Buried it in the archives ...)
What am I doing wrong? Can it not be pasted as an entry?

I'm sure someone will come along who has the skills to help you, but FWIW, both I have done so far are entries, on TypePad blogs -- so movable type.

Laura - that *might* be because some blog services don't like people putting scripts in their posts... it looks like it's just snipped out the contents of the badge...
Why don't you try putting a badge in the structure of your blog - the template file?

Groovy, very cool indeed.
Two remarks:
Is it me or is the flashbadge not working if you select photos from a group?
Also, i think it might be convenient if, having selected a group, the thumbnail-links point on the picture in-group rather than the uploaders photo-stream.

I haven't found any noticable bugs that haven't been already mentioned, but I am annoyed at how you are forced to use the web palette to select a color. When I tried to type in the color, it wouldn't stay--or should I be hitting the Enter key to save the change?
Thanks!

when I scroll with the mousewheel over the flash-badge, the badge scrolls and reveals a big white area complete with scrollbars and all.
I use firefox and opera on xp-pro. It doesn't happen in IE though...
I thought that I might not have copied and pasted the code correctly, so I started making a new badge, when I realised that it actually does the same thing on the example badges on flickr too...

I'm having problems with the badges as well. I used the flash version, opted to go without a border and no background and it makes my entire site disappear. I removed the badge code and it came back. Since my knowledge of CSS is minimal, I can't figure out where the problem lies.

I went the html route. I am currently using them on 2 blogs & now a 3rd.
They are very cool badges.
I picked to have 1 picture displayed w/ group link/or my addy.
I do notice that sometimes a picture won't load & only the link & the group icon is left to display.
Also if you have several on one page the others take on the characteristics [i.e colors ]of the last badge coded.
But they seem great besides that! I love being able to link to my groups, & to show everyone's photos there.
Thanks Flickr programmers! You guys Rock.

I did choose for my divers blogs, different options and all worked.

Now, I am no more afraid what I send every day, and not want to show on my blog just then.

I encountered this, too -- I just hosted The Carnival of the Cats and wanted to show off several different badges, but they all took the colors of the last one.
Still looks great, though -- actually better in terms of design, but folks won't intuitively know they can have them with different color combinations.

The bug with the Flash badge taking you to flickr.com instead of the photo should now be fixed. Care to test? (You might have to clear your cache.)
RE transparency and the Flash badge: the actual grid of photos will always have a white background because of limitations with Flash itself, but the header and footer of the badge (the "www.flickr.com" and "what is this" text) should now work properly when you choose "no background".
I'm working on the other bugs right now.

quas: number of photos should now be properly remembered.
lilithvf1998: you can now manually enter hex values.
Also, photos in set and group badges now link to the photo in set or group context.
We'd love to have you guys try out these fixes and let us know if things are working well!

Ok, another semi-interruption. I posted a link the badge (to my own photostream) in my sidebar at antville: resourcefull.antville.org
and made the word "Today" link to the original post where I put the script. Works beautifully!
Now, when I choose "blog this" on one of my photos that goes to a Blogger blog, it always posts floated to the right. I have to manually go back into my blog and correct to read "center" for a better composition on the blog. Any way to correct this in the "blog this" feature? Does it have something to do with the fact that I am a Mozilla user while I click "blog this"?

Also, using the tag 'party' on "the mq" group's set seems to break flickr. The next page doesn't come up using the wizard, and if I edit the source on my website manually (change the tag argument) it hangs where the script should run.

Kevin, I'm having the same issue of no border showing up on my site.
Also, the Flash badge broke in a bad way on my site; it sat obstinately on the left side instead of in the sidebar on the right, and the black border stretched for yards instead of hugging the badge. It may be clashing with my site's CSS, so I just took it off.

If you guys want to recreate your badges and test again, I think I've fixed the problem with the black image borders disappearing.
And there was a serious bug with badges pulling tagged photos from group pools which has been fixed. Care to try again with the party tag kevinclark?
SupaMB, is the an unobtrusive spot on your site you can stick the Flash badge back in so I can have a look? Those are the exact kinds of problems I need to solve before we can really launch the new badges :)

Badges for group pools are something I've been hoping for since...well, since about last week, but this is nice. I have no problems with the HTML version, but the flash version just displays the orbiting circles endlessly.
I've tried it for each of the groups to which I belong, but the group I'm really trying to make work is my wedding group (for my wedding site).
Any ideas what's going on here?

Eric: There should be a TD around the script tag. As it stands, there's just a tr with no internal td or th, so the validator complains.

Oops -- I doublechecked the validity of my XHTML after adding the HTML badge, and something is amiss.
The element named above [style type="text/css"] was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" ... One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. ...

I was wondering if there was a way you could pull from different sets (each child has own set) most recent addition or random of that set. Right now each child has it's own account and I would love to combine them all in one pro account. The only reason I'm keeping them seperate is so each child gets a badge (face time in blog). My work around could be tags (at least I could combine accounts) but it would be a better Thought I'd throw it out while you're still working on this.

Flash badge works a treat and can confirm that clicking an image opens flickr on that image's page. Only comment I would have is that the selection of pics seems to be quite limited.
I have an archive of around 180 or so pictures, all public, but it seems to be using only my latest 20 or so shots.
Be real nice for it to just have that little bit more variety.
See what you do when you give us cool tools???

Just to be a grammar whore, I can't believe it's been a month and no one has noticed that the text that appears in the flash when you click "What is this?" ends with "Make you own here".
