I think I’ve seen those at Myspace. But if it didn’t go through, maybe there’s some form of javascript in it.
-
It’s done via an iframe. That’s probably what the issue is. Iframe tags are not allowed due to security concerns.
-
I was able to do it using the following code:
< iframe width=500 scrolling=no height=500 frameborder=0 align=middle src=http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?user_id=yourflickruserid&tags=tags>
< /iframe> -

it seems to be only flickr (i tried with a bleep.com iframe, no go), and it seems to only work in posts, not pages.

I was so intrigued with the idea of getting a slide show on our blog, that I tried inserting the above code. I ran into the following problems, and wonder if someone could clarify them, please:
1) is the user ID a numeric ID, or can it be alphabetic? For example, “ingridandneil” or “123456789”. How/where do we find our Flickr user ID?
2) where do we find the tags? Again, are they an alphabetic tag (eg. “wedding”) or numeric?
I attempted to extrapolate this info by viewing the source code of the page, but all to no avail (partly because a lot of it is beyond me). I hope you’ll be able to guide me in my quest for adding a cool slide show like the ones on thomasps’ blog.
Cheers!

I found this. To me it does not make sense. But I guess, that it will to many of you in this thread.. :D

I think I celebrated victory too soon. I’ve been trying for HOURS to do the code as above, but it keeps “disappearing” when I try to post it. I’ve tried with and without ” “, I’ve trolled around online trying to find answers, and the few people who are doing it on wordpress claim to be using this coding. Is this require a plug-in, in which case isn’t that only possible on WordPress.org? Am I missing something? Here’s what I’ve been writing:
<iframe width=”500″ scrolling=”no” height=”500″ frameborder=”0″ align=”middle” src=”http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?user_id=12345678@N00&set_id=12345678912345678″></iframe>
Hope you’ll be able to help. I’d love to get this little slide show up.
Cheers!

Then how come there are a few people who have been able to add it to their blog? If it’s happened, then it must be possible, yes?

That’s why I’m bugging staff for a reply on the subject and it’s bugging me that I can’t get one. :(
