Profile widget

Dara Robinson

How does one get the profile widget from flickr into your sig?

Borderfox

http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/profile.php follow the instructions from the site. I think you have to put it in your flickr profile to get it to work

Dara Robinson

I think I got it down.

I copied just the link for the picture itself. But question. Will that keep updated now like the one on my profile seeing as the html code is missing?

Every hour Big something labs regenerates the same image so it's always up to date.

How did you get the background of the pic to match the background here? or it is just transparent?, and if so how you get that done?

Dara Robinson

Well, for those that are or will be wondering how to do it yourselves later. I fuigured out what the right colour was.

All you have to do is to change some simple HTML code in the picture link.

You change the 1st highlighted one to change the colour of the text and the second one is for the background.

F5F5FF is the background colour of the forum post areas

Go nuts kids!!!

I created the profile widget and it appears on my Flickr profile Ok but how do I get the damn thing to appear on Boards???? I copied the HTML code into the home page link on the Boards profile page but nothing happens.

Step 1.- Goto Big huge labs for your profile widget

Step 2.- Follow the instructions and create your profile widget.

Step 3.- As indicated above, from the HTML provided, grap the link to the picture (you only need the link to the picture).

Step 4.- Edit your signature and click the insert image button and add the link.

Step 5.- For added effect you can get the background of your Profile Widget to match the boards.ie backgroung. All you have to do is to change some simple HTML code in the picture link.

Hope this helps, Have fun

The problem with the above Dara is that your widget does not link to your Flickr page. I got the image to appear too but that's of little use if it doesn't link. Sebastian's on the other hand does. So how did he do it?

Sebastian?

The above is my sig, as far as I can tell it is linked.
(note there are some spelling errors in the vb code so you can read it)

Carrigman

When I click on your widget it doesn't link, Dara. It's just an image. That's the problem.

mdebets

If you put an URL tag around the image tag, you should get your link. Thats how i did it with my signature.

[UR1="your flickr URL"][1MG]your image URL[/IMG][/URL]

Carrigman

Thanks mdebets!

It works now!

real_484

i cant get my head round all this... do ya not just copy and paste into insert url? from the website where they make the widget?

kgiller

Hey lads, anyone wana offer me some help with this? Been trying for ages now to get this set up (and im not a retard)...

At the moment my boards profile sig looks like this ...
[URL="[IMG]http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/profilewidget/recent/000000/F5F5FF/12095920@N06.jpg[/IMG]"][/URL]

The image has come up, but the link goes nowhere.

Can anyone tell me if this looks right to them, or if im doing something wrong.

Cheers

Forget to ad a link to the pix.ie page that explains it all.

Had to put the spaces in to show the code, otherwise it would just show my widget. :rolleyes:

Just watch out for spaces, and those little things. Delete all spaces in my example.

ok..the blank image shows for a while and then disappears..i mean wtf??

I think this will be my new sig

"anybody with a flickr/pixie sig is a Fúcker and I hate ye so much"

trishw78

If the widget says it's refreshing just let it do it. It'll work fine you come across it a few times.

Blazer

that's the prob..it says it's refreshing...but after about 5 mins it dissappears completely from my sig

Paulw

Just go back to Bighugelabs and make another widget, then update your sig with the new URL.

Paulw

It can sometimes take 10-15 mins to update the widget.

Don't worry about it. It's in your signature, and will eventually update.

Blazer

thanks guys..we'll see how it goes.

Kintarō Hattori

Berkut when you select the widget option on BigHugeLabs, what's the number look like? You'll find it in all the code they give you to copy and paste.

http://flickr.com/photos/******@N**

Tell me this and I'm sure we can sort you out.

Kintarō Hattori

Just quote me on that above, remove the quote tags and you should have it. Copy and paste the code from the URL tags into your sig and your good to go.

Modaroonies...... maybe we should have a sticky on the flickr widget?

Blazer

finally....thanks a lot guys
