Hi,

Trying to embed images from Flicker

Paddy,

Thanks for the instructions.

I can find the link under share in flicker.
I highlight the link using ctrl c and paste
onto PI resply by clicking ctrl v. The
file name transfers but is not highligted.

So just the name is transferred but not the actual file…

PS the file is the right size also 800pxls wide.

Rgds,

Gerry.

Hi Gerry,

Can you reply to this post and paste into it what you’ve copied from flickr?
Chances are its the url to the image which would be correct ? Does it end it .jpg ?

Thanks

Hi Mark,

This is what’s inside the Grab HTML/BB code:

I deleted everything except the jpeg file but it still wouldn’t highlight.

This is in the Grab the link HTML box:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/66633629N07/6093044295/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for helping.

Gerry.

Not sure if I’m understanding fully what you’re copying but try this step by step.
1. Click on the image you want in your flickr photostream.
2. Once the photo appears, click on “Actions” just above the image and you should get a drop down list of options.
3 Click “View all sizes” and once all options appear click the size you want to post on PI – normally about 800 x 530 should do for landscape.
4. Right button click on the image itself and choose “Copy image location“
5. Return to your post here and click on the “Img” tab. You should then see this….
6 Place your cursor in between the 2 middle brackets ][ and then right button click again and choose “Paste”
If it’s been done correctly, your image should show up once you preview it.
Should be done then. Hopefully :D

If you’re still in trouble, feel free to PM me.
