Flickr To SlideShowProSlideShowPro 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.comFinal 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: QueryStringThis would go in the SlideShowPro setting that points the the xml file.
FlickrToSSP.ashx?Email=account@domain.com
