I used FlickrSSP initially, but ran into a few problems:

the permalinks used were in the old format and prevented SSP from having permission to “crop to fit” the photo
my photo captions were only title and filename… I wanted them to be the Flickr photo description
there was not a photoset/album for my latest photos
I needed to be able to refresh the cache manually from the command line URL

So I up and coded my own solution, Fetchr4SSP.

Has anyone successfully got this working with a flash site? It seems to be only loading from the index.xml file for me? Please help!

Hey Matt. I’m using SSP for Adobe Lightroom right now. I began following instructions that came with FlickrSSP 1.6 and I’m a bit confused over step three:
3. A default slideshow.swf and slideshow.html that you can use. To do this you have to pass the parameter “xmlFile=flickrssp.php” to the .swf.
See the sample html for how to do this.

Is it supposed to say “add a defaut slideshow….”? In addition, I don’t understand the language “pass the parameter”. I’m assuming you are supposed to paste a parameter into the .html file. I look at the sample html and I don’t see anywhere in that code something that says “xmlFile=flickrssp.php”. Maybe that is what this means: ” so.addVariable(”xmlfile”, “../flickrssp.php”); “??? If this is the case, The .html and .swf from the sample folder copied into the root folder should make everything work after doing the other steps, right? When I do this and load the page, it just says “Please install Flash and turn on Javascript.” (Which I of course already have done)

In addition, when I export a gallery to my HD, it gives me a couple of files. The primary file that contains the configurations settings of the slideshow is param.xml. I thought that I would have to use this file in some way to indicate how I wanted my slideshow to look.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I just bought flickrssp and followed the instructions. but when I try to access the php file I get the following error: There are no photosets for this user. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

I just downloaded the FlickrSSP files and it works great with the included .swf file but when I try to use my own I get a blank page. I have the xml path set to “../images.xml” and the xml type set to “xml” is there another parameter I’m missing?

Secondly, the Flickr account has 200+ photos but the only photos displaying are the 62 that are in a set. Is there a way to show all of the photos?

Matt,

Kind of just looking for an explanation/discussion about using the tool, any issues to be aware of, etc. Is there an explanation somewhere?

I’m also trying not to use up your time and good will. I’m the sort who reads code and discussions of code. I know, I know, it’s not the norm -

Deborah - he took his site down shortly after I bought this from him. I could answer any questions you need to know about it (I think).
