Flickr To SlideShowPro

SlideShowPro is a wonderful flash-based slide-show component you can use on your website.
Out of the box, SlideShowPro allows for reading OPML and feeds to import images.
This makes it easy to use a site like Flickr to manage your photos and then display them in SlideShowPro.

There is a catch though... Flickr has a 20-item limit when you read in their feeds.
Flickr To SlideShowPro was made to overcome this using the Flickr.Net API.

Requirements
- ASP.Net 2.0 +
- Flickr.Net API
- Flickr API Keys (Look at the top)

Getting Started
- Upload the FlickrToSSP.ashx file to your webserver
- Setup SlideShowPro to read from a static XML file
- The xml filename should be FlickrToSSP.ashx
- Optionally, you can pass in the email address of the account to read from: FlickrToSSP.ashx?Email=account@domain.com

Final Step
- You must tell FlickrToSSP which account to read from.
- FlickrToSSP takes in an email address to find an account

There are two ways to pass this in:

Option 1: Web.Config
<appSettings>
       <add key="FlickrEmail" value="account@domain.com"/>
</appSettings>


Option 2: QueryString
This would go in the SlideShowPro setting that points the the xml file.
FlickrToSSP.ashx?Email=account@domain.com
