p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · another way to embed flickr images


I was looking at the recent 105 2.5 lovefest thread and saw that member "Oasisbill" seemed to be embedding html code to link to a flickr image. I was always under the impression that you could only link directly to the hosted jpg file. So I started playing around with the flickr share buttons and figured out how to do it.

1. go to your flickr image page. click on the "Share This" button.
2. click "Grab the HTML"
3. Select the image size (Medium or Large probably for these forums).
4. Now click BBCode
5. Now copy/paste the code that's generated into your post.

Here's the resulting image (the old style following):

old way:

As you can tell, the first is a clickable image that shows you the pic name and directs you to your photostream. Anyways, just thought I'd post this - I'm not sure if many people know about this.

Sweet Thanks for sharing. That's way easier than writing the BBcode crud myself.

Very cool they added that feature, I used to have to use an external BBCode coverter.

Or in Firefox you can right click on the image and select "copy image location" directly for the file url. In Safari it's "copy image address." No need to view image info and scroll down through a list.

Plus, my bbCode is shorter and links directly to the size image on flickr that I'm displaying here, or I could link to any other flickr presentation, like the photo page itself, or my photostream... as long as I link back to flickr somehow. I don't need the extra stuff below the picture that says "blah blah by pdxflint on Flickr. The simple link-back should be enough, so I'll just keep doing it the old way, since it's still linked back.

Also, the bbCode Flickr creates, while it's fairly universal, doesn't work on some forums running bbCode, because they need quotation marks "" in the linked url tag, where many forums don't, so that would present a problem posting to Macrumors.com forums for example... Really, there is no one fix for all.

My old (preferred way)

I think the whole point is to be able to drive traffic back to your photostream if they like your photo. That's the reason I've always used bbcode.

Another way is through a bookmarklet. I found the following page, you drag the "Flickr to BBCode" link to your toolbar (IE - yuck, or Firefox). Then when you're on your photo page, click the bookmark and it spits out the bbCode.

you lose the photo title and your flickr username but the image results are exactly the same.
