Topic: Multiple Flickr Accounts

Hey people,

I am trying to pull photos from multiple accounts...

//FLICKR GALLERY OPTIONS
// To use images from Flickr, uncomment this block
fo.addVariable("useFlickr", "true");
fo.addVariable("user_id", "34306176@N00");   //example
fo.addVariable("user_id", "48508968@N00");   //example
fo.addVariable("showTakenByText", "true");   

The problem is when I try this it only loads the photos in the last account. Does anyone know a work around or if this is possible?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Multiple Flickr Accounts

The only thing that I can think to try is to pull the images into a javascript array from the different flicker accounts and feed that array the the xml data path as a dynamically created xml using document.write.

Re: Multiple Flickr Accounts

Thanks for the idea miker.

I'm not really all that good with js. I'm new to Flickr too... I just noticed the group feature and if everyone post photos to that one group I think using a group_id in place of user_id will be easier.

I was hoping it would be as easy as this...

//FLICKR GALLERY OPTIONS
// To use images from Flickr, uncomment this block
fo.addVariable("useFlickr", "true");
fo.addVariable("group_id", "39006371@N08");
//fo.addVariable("tags", "jump,smile");
fo.addVariable("tag_mode", "all");
fo.addVariable("showTakenByText", "true");

A next page arrow pops up but thats it. Is anyone successfully using the group_id?

I pull this off of Flickrs API list.
group_id (Optional)
The id of a group who's pool to search. If specified, only matching photos posted to the group's pool will be returned.

Re: Multiple Flickr Accounts

simple but annoying solution is two galleries one for each account.

Re: Multiple Flickr Accounts

TiltViewer does not support group ids.
