Badgr 2.0 beta

PLEASE NOTE: Visit the badgr project page for more info.

Here's a quick heads up for the new badgr release

I'm not posting much in the way of instructions, since I'm not going to support this until I've got the form made, but as you can see the form is a little complex, so if you're desperate to get it while it's hot you can grab the badgr2.swf now...

Right click and save badgr2.swf

There are now a lot more parameters you can throw at bagdr 2.0 so let's have a little look at them, if you know how to build a URL query string then you're ok, if you haven't the foggiest idea what I'm talking about, sorry, you'll have to wait for the nice easy install form...

Badgr 2.0 parameters

These are entered into the embed / SWFobject code after badgr2.swf? and separate each one with an &character.

• badgrmode= one of the following numbers (default is badgrmode=1)
  1. user
  2. user set
  3. user favourites
  4. user tag search
  5. group
  6. all tag search
• userid= which is either the userid, groupid or setid depending on the badgrmode you want.
• tags= followed by the tags you want to search for (comma separated.) If you're searching for multi word tags such as "Blue Skies" (or whatever) write them in your list as blueskies as Flickr treats them as the same tag. Tags are ignored unless you are using badgrmode= 4 or 6.
• limit= The maximum number of photos to return from your set, default is rows x columns.
• waittime= time in seconds to wait between displaying a zoomed in photo square.
• displaytime= time in seconds to wait when a photo square is zoomed up.
• rows= Number of rows of small photo squares (I recommend you have 2 or more) The display height of the swf will be 38 * rows. (default = 5)
• columns= Number of columns of small photo squares (I recommend you have 2 or more) The display width of the swf will be 38 * columns. (default = 5)
• framescaling= This is a string of 4 numbers separated by commas, the default is 1.05,1.0,1.08,1.04 ... They are the scaling factors of the frame, here's a quick description of what they do in order.. (a, b, c, d)
  • The total canvas size / a
  • (The total canvas size / a) / b
  • 75px square * c
  • c / d
  These settings create the default frame for badgr.
• framecolors= Similar to the scaling factors but much simpler this is a set of 5 hex colors separated by commas which are the frames colors... default... #FFFFFF,#000000,#000000,#AAAAAA,#000000
• framealphas= The corresponding alpha / transparency values for each of the 5 frame colors. the 5 values are in the following order
  • Main canvas frame (stretches to the limits of the badgr 2.0 canvas)
  • Frame outline
  • Main frame
  • Photo outer border
  • Photo inner border
• rolling= Indicates whether all the images in the returned photo selection be displayed or just the random 25 picked at the start. Set to yes or no (default is no.)
