Tag: flickr

From now on you can browse all Flickr uploaded photos within Jefklak’s Codex from the Photos index page! Thanks to the Flickr API and the Tantan Photo album Wordpress plugin. I dug a little bit into the Google Maps API and mashed some code samples together within the album lib to automatically include GPS coordinate information inside an inline google map widget. The result is quite nice. For example, have a look at this pretty beach view:

(Clicking on the image links to the inline photo page, not to Flickr) Album pages also include a google maps widget to give you a rough idea of the location, so do the tags. For instance, browsing to the photo tag ‘Drenthe’ gives you a nice overview of the general location for the tag Drenthe - which is of course in Drenthe, Netherlands. Most photos are automatically tagged thanks to my new cellphone the Nokia N82, equipped with a 5MP camera including Xenon flash. (Of course all decent camera’s still blow it away when you compare picture quality or closure times…)

In addition, check out the renovated Sitemap appendix. All Flickr tags have been completely integrated into the ever growing list. Cool eh? Also, clicking on a marker in a group tag or album page highlights the photo on the top.
