First of all, the link:

Argote's Flickr poster for IPB forums BETA

Now...

I've recently been a bit ****ed at how difficult it has become to post a photo from Flickr to Neowin and decided to make a Web-App to take care of that, you just enter your username (the one in you URL). For example, my flickr page is http://flickr.com/photos/argote/ so I'd enter argote into the box and click on the button. The codes to post any (or all) of your last 20 images will come up along with a thumbnail of the photo and you just copy it and paste it into Neowin (or any other IPB forum).

So here's a couple of screenshots:

And here's the link again:

Feel free to make any suggestions, keep in mind that this is still in BETA so things might go awry.

I have tested this on Opera 10.60 and Firefox 3.6.6 where it works perfectly, I've also tested it on Internet Explorer 8 where the font color for the lengend is wrong and in Chrome 5.0.375.99 where the text makes one of the elements overflow its area (it still works though, I'll look into this soon).

I have several future improvements in mind in no particular order (that I'll go about making sometime in the future)

  • Put the codes in a TextArea and have it be autoselected (and maybe copied) on click (this currently doesn't work because I'd need to get rid of the HTML on the description)
  • Make the page NOT break if some kinds of HTML are included in the description or title
  • Make the page more aesthetically pleasing - Halfway done...
  • Enable selection of what data to include - DONE!
  • Enable selection of what photo size to post - DONE!
  • Enable you to select photos other than your 20 lastest on the photostream - DONE!
  • Integrate with location information (possibly with google maps) to add a small im age of the photo location to the post
  • Set integration

Feel free to share any thoughts.

If you accidentally pressed the button before inputing your name and are having problems with the loading, then refresh the page.

Also, if you want to load another user, refresh before doing so (I'll work on this too).

Basically, try using refresh if you run into any problems.

Hey guys, I've made some updates to the App, here's the changelog:

- There are now settings to select which EXIF data you want to post

- Unavailable data is no longer shown (if, for example, the lens info is not present on the EXIF then the Lens label will not be shown)

- You can now select from 4 image sizes

- You can now select the title size

- Slight changes for smoother animations

Thanks for the feedback, be sure to let me know of any issues

It seems that its not working for some people...

try id saintsgirl35.. you will see what i mean..

Hello.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/saintsgirl35/

That page seems to not exist so "saintsgirl35" is probably the wrong ID, use whatever is on the URL.

BTW... I'll make updates to enable more than 20 photos (possibly Sets and Geotag info) sometime in the near future.

Does it only show the first ~10 photos in your stream or something? I couldn't find a "next page" option.

Actually it doesn`t even show any photos at all. I hit enter after entering my flickr name and it just sits there and loads without bringing up any photos at all. I`ve gotten it to work with other people`s usernames but not my own... Very strange.

Yeah I haven't gotten around to adding that... I'll get to it soon though...

Try entering "29002035@N04" which is what's on your Flickr URL

Update: There is now a "More" button at the end that will allow you to get the next 20 photos from your stream until the end, this basically means that you can now get the codes for ALL your public photos which was the #1 requested feature.

Notes: This was a bit more complicated than I thought because I had made some incorrect design decisions when I started due to my unfamiliarity with jQuery and AJAX-Event callback handling, it has been sorted out now though.

Let me know what else you would like to see in my App and I'll consider it. Thanks for using it! I know Flickr shows BB Code now, but it still doesn't post the EXIF and other data that I consider is useful to share when posting a photo.

    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
