In the recent Sheffield flood photos thread we noticed many people posting photos from their Flickr accounts to the forums. Wouldn’t it be good, we thought, if users could do it all from within the page without having to leave the community site? So I sat down for a few hours and came up with a proof of concept using jQuery and the Flickr API. A more polished version is now live on the community forums. Go check it out!
It’s all unobtrusive JavaScript so it degrades well and it can easily be ported to other forums/blogs/whatever. I just need to tidy it a bit, package it up and get it out there. Fun, fun, fun!
