I try it with the label Large (you use Medium) and it works too ! Then I say myself that perhaps there is a supernatural trick in your script, so i try it with the Original label and it’s completed.

And at this step, I am very impressed !

I’ve been pleased to keep your mind awake and very creative.

I’ll embed all that stuff in my blogger. I’ll send you a mail to show you the final result.

Thanks a lot !

Cheers

You do have to make one modification to the lightbox.js so that the Lightbox instance is named and accessible, but that’s pretty simple.

There is only one restriction, you cannot use the grouping functionality. I get the full Url for the ‘Medium’ size image using a separate AJAX call, and as such I don’t want to do 16 additional HTTP calls for a 16 thumbnail grid… so instead I only do that call per image once the user clicks the image. This is only ever done once, so if they click it again it uses the old information.

You’re right. I try your original code with little changes to test lightbox (clicked link have to display the little size)

var anchor = document.createElement(’a');
anchor.href = ‘http://farm4.static.flickr.com/’ photo.server ‘/’ photo.id ‘_’ photo.secret ‘_m.jpg’;
anchor.rel = ‘lightbox[occicant]‘;
var img = document.createElement(’img’);

The link is OK, but the lightbox effect doesn’t work.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your patience and your help.

The only problem with this is that if you show 16 thumbnails, I’d need to do 16 calls to getSizes.

I’ll email you an example of the code above adjusted to include this… and you can display the image at the point of the window.open call that I’ve currently got.

I’m not sure lightbox 2 will support event driven opening of the lightbox, it seems to want to know early which photos are there to be lightboxed.

I have to add “rel” attribute into the anchor and make a direct link to the picture like that image #1

My problem is not to embed the “rel” attribute, but to make a direct link to the picture

Example, your scirpt make a link to this page
http://www.flickr.com/photos/punktitude/2983513071/
and i want to make the link to this picture
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3282/2983513071_d2485b74cb_o.jpg

flickr give me that code format http://farm{farm-id}.static.flickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{o-secret}_o.(jpg|gif|png)

So i have to embed 2 more vars in your code :
“farm-id” and “o-secret”

i don’t know how to code them, in the same way than yours
i.e. {server-id} become photo.server, {id} become photo.id, etc.

Excellent work, David.

i’m a newbie with javascript but i try to customize your widget with elements seen on this page (http://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.urls.html). I want to make a direct link to the original photo, none to the flickr photo page, because i use the lightbox script.

Flickr show us how direct url is coded here
http://farm{farm-id}.static.flickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{o-secret}_o.(jpg|gif|png)

but i can’t translate this into your code. I make some tries, and no one works.
Can you help me, please ?

Thanks a lot

Does anyone have any deas on how we can prevent ourselves and our fellow devs from running into this problem? Use the InternalName attribute? I doubt that would make a difference but maybe I’m missing something. Use an extension method? And how would it look?

It would be interesting to know why MS doesn’t provide a way to get a Field by its InternalName. I’ve run into a major problem using an MS template that references a Field by its DisplayName (details here: http://www.reversealchemy.net/2008/09/10/sharepoint-custom-templates-and-language-packs/). Why not use the InternalName? Wouldn’t that make life easier?

Or am I *really* missing something?

Cheers,
Erik
