Flickr Post Bar + Lightbox + Link to Flickr = Possible? (3 posts)

    I am working with a friend to try to get the Flickr Post Bar (yes, the old TanTan) to link directly to the Flickr jpg file so that he can enable lightbox on all images inserted into posts. (Lightbox requires the jpg location, not the webpage.)

    We are using FAlbum and I know that I could link the photo to the jpg location in FAlbum, but prefer to link the inserted photo to the Flickr location. Anyone done this?

    I'm trying the same, with the newer tantan plugin. Somebody wrote a hack for this (it's somewhere in the comments of the tantan group at flickr) but I haven't managed to get it working yet.

    I made a rather blunt hack for this to work, modifying the file "post-bar-form.html"

    post-bar-form.txt
    (rename to html ofcourse)

    It will create working lightbox links for all images, with a lightbox setname that changes every hour. Originally, I wanted to have the number increment with every post, but I just don't know how to do this.

    Note: I have no knowledge of javascript or php, so this was a dirty trial and error hack.
