Hi:

Is there any way to reference flickr collections and flickr groups in Fancybox (and also in Photo Gallery)?

I have many many photos that are organised into photosets, and then these photosets are further organised into collections.

Flickr assigns a unique ID to collections but when I put the collection ID in the parameters of ari fancybox (or ari photogallery) it doesn't recognise the collection and so no images load.

The reason I ask is because, for example, I have a collection called "Persian Art" which has within it several photosets such as "Persian Architecture", "Persian Paintings" and "Persian Miniatures". In the plugin or the module, I can specify multiple photosets, referencing each one in a list seperated by commas, but if I am referencing 20 photosets, that is not clean code as the same could be accomplished if I could reference a collection ID.

Can you please clarify if that is possible, and if so, how?

Also, is there a way to include an auto-advance to next image in Ari Fancybox similar to the way a slideshow would work?

Thank you.

Hello,

We have updated 'ARI Fancybox' and 'ARI Photo Gallery' extensions. New versions can load Flickr images by collection id(s) and group id(s). Download the extensions and upgrade 'ARI Fancybox' module, 'ARI Photo Gallery' module, 'System - ARI Fancybox Anywhere' plugin and 'System - ARI Photo Gallery Anywhere' plugin. 'ARI Fancybox' doesn't provide auto-advance ability.

Hi:

I'm having problems with collections.

Using AriFancyBoxAnywhere plugin, I have the following code:

<p>{arifancybox activeType="flickr" source="collection" collectionId="72157624433499317" type="customtext" apikey="166cd0f079225ba7aa06e3ec838f6e62"}<img src="images/stories/inline/art_1.png" alt="art_1" style="float: right; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 2px;" width="200" height="240" title="Click for a slideshow." class="caption" />{/arifancybox}</p>

But nothing happens when I click.

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Also, this is a collection that has nested collections under it. Does the plugin reference only the photos directly at the top level of a collection, or does it access the sub-collections?

If it does not read the sub-collections, is it possible to make a modification so that it does?

Hello,

Add "userId" attribute to {arifancybox} tag with Flickr user ID of owner of this collection. The module loads only selected collection(s), not sub-collections. We'll think about implementation of this ability in a future release.

In the URL below, is the userid "alisamii", or is there a number associated that I need to find?

www.flickr.com/photos/alisamii/collections/72157624453266676/

Thank you

Yes, it requires user id (number) which can be found with help this service.
