I can’t post Flickr sliceshow…

    I have just moved my space from Windows Live Space for half and one months. I found that one of my past post has been broken. The flickr sliceshow can’t be shared here.

    In the “share”, there are just URL and embed HTML. I have tried this two ways but none of them worked.

    This is the link of the sliceshow: http://www.flickr.com/groups/astrophoto/pool/show/

    This is the embed HTML:

    <object width=”400″ height=”300″> <param name=”flashvars” value=”offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=%2Fgroups%2Fastrophoto%2Fpool%2Fshow%2F&page_show_back_url=%2Fgroups%2Fastrophoto%2Fpool%2F&group_id=973956@N23&jump_to=&start_index=”></param> <param name=”movie” value=”http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649″></param> <param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><embed type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” src=”http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649″ allowFullScreen=”true” flashvars=”offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=%2Fgroups%2Fastrophoto%2Fpool%2Fshow%2F&page_show_back_url=%2Fgroups%2Fastrophoto%2Fpool%2F&group_id=973956@N23&jump_to=&start_index=” width=”400″ height=”300″></embed></object>

    Can anyone help me?

    The gigya shortcode 2 – inserting Flickr slideshows

    @panaghiotisadam Much to my surprise, I just found out that I can insert a flickr slideshow just by using the url! It’s still in draft form because I was trying out the code from your website. Perhaps I made an error because it appeared as a black box. But right beneath it was the slideshow. I’d pasted the url beneath the sample code for reference!

    Looking at a few recent posts on this topic, I found one other person who was able to use the url. I had no idea wordpress.com supported flickr slideshows. Last time I looked it up (months ago) it didn’t.

    It does, but they haven’t officially announced it yet. I remember someone a couple of months ago who said his was working, then stopped. I think they’re still tinkering with it.

    thanks to everyone.

    I have looked at gigya code and I tried to copy it and filled the ID NUMBER and USER NAME.

    This is what I made…

    [gigya src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649" width="500" flashvars="offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=%2Fgroups%2Fastrophoto%2Fpool%2F&group_id=973956@N23&show/&page_show_back_url=%2Fgroups%2Fastrophoto%2Fpool%2F&group_id=973956@N23&jump_to=" allowFullScreen="true" ]

    I put it in the post but it appeared as a black box…

    Is there any mistake? I am sorry I don’t know much computer things…

    @electricia1: True, but doesn’t always work.

    @lotoslinly: Should have been this:

    [gigya src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649" width="500" flashvars="offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=%2Fgroups%2Fastrophoto%2Fpool%2Fshow%2F&page_show_back_url=%2Fgroups%2Fastrophoto%2Fpool%2F&group_id=973956@N23&jump_to=&start_index=" allowFullScreen="true" ]

    If the url method works intermittently, I’m a little leery of using it if there’s another option.

    Can you tell me where I went wrong with this code? I went over it 10 times, but cannot get it to appear as anything other than a black box! Thank you…

    You’re missing one “show”, and you’re missing the last digit from the first instance of the ID number. Corrected:

    Thanks so much! Reading the code is a bit like trying to read a foreign language

    I really appreciate your help. The post is important to me because it’s photos of an 81 year old man’s family business that’s being evicted after 40 years )-: Hope to rally people to save it
