In this wiki we use Flickr as a photodump site: other sites are not possible at this moment. You can also post videos at Flickr and can try to embed these. Photo's and pictures can be uploaded in this wiki: be sure that they do not exceed 100kb (so small and low quality).

Explaining Flickr
Have a look at this movie
- article on Flickr on Wikipedia
- Newbie's guide to Flickr
- article on Flickr by Kenneth Verburg
Links to Flickr
You take use a normal hyperlink to a certain photo on Flickr directly
- Embedding is NOT possible if you have marked the photos or video as 'privat
- You can do so by finding out in properties (right mouse click on picture) the direct adres. This looks like
- Of course you can also open Flickr and within Flikcr the photo:
- Do you want to embedd the picture then you will have to use tags. The bsic tag is: <flickr>The name of the photo</flickr>.
Flickr photo put in Google Map
You can also put a Flickr photo in a placemark used in Google Maps, if you are into this (so you are making a mash up there). In the placemark used in Google Maps chose the HTML-format and please typ
<IMG SRC="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/119/257178671_77a89bc655_m.jpg">
to this has to be a refference to the place/name/number the photo has on Flickr.
Size
The size of a photo is easy to change by adding a code <flickr>244571844|m</flickr>
- t is thumbnail, very small
- m for medium, so small
- b for big, so large
Be serious about copyrights!
Editing Flickr photo's
You can make a Flickr photo more usefull or attractive by adding extra information in the tag-code. You can put photo's in a frame, enlarge them etc. or give them a title.
Photo's posted on Flickr, can be embedded easily in your Wiki article with the code <flickr>461670089|m|frame|Bangkok by night|center</flickr>. Please find the example explained below:
- 461670089 : the het number of the photo on Flickr.com
- m :the seize of the photo; possibilities and extra's:
- "s": Small, very small square measures 75x75 pixels
- "t": Thumbnail, 100 pixels on the longest side
- "m": Medium, 240 pixels on the longest side
- "-": Normal, 500 pixels on the longest side (recommended)
- "b": Big, 1024 pixels on the longest side
- frame : puts a frame around the photo
- Bangkok by night : free text to explain something on the photo.
- center : the photo will be in the center (right and left also possible)
The result looks like this:(if you click the photo you will jump to the original on Flickr):
An example will be:
Het resultaat ziet er dan als volgt uit (als je klikt op de foto ga je naar het origineel op Flickr):
How an option like this looks like you can check out below. Now we are really stepping into HTML, check the codes by the edit tab. This will bring the following results
| Market in Bangkok |
Menu in restaurant Khaosan Road |
This will bring the following results
| The market in Bangkok |
| Menu in restaurant Khaosan Road |
We will not go any further on this item, but (if you happen to be handy..) almost all HTML-tages do work in Wiki software. Have a look at more on HTML.
If you post or use photo's from Flickr, be sure to have some continuity, because if they are taken from Flickr everytime you open the pages they are linked on. So once they disappear from Flickr they will no longer appear in this Wiki as well.
Upload and reducing seizes
To keep the Wiki quick is is advisable to reduce the seize of your photo's (and so bring back the quality as well). The Wiki, as any internetsite, will not show quality anyhow. So bring the picture/photo back to 50 to max 100 kb. You are not allowed to upload more then 100 kb.
If a picture is a odd seize, be sure that the width is not more then 500 pixels as well.
Handy program to do so is ShrinkPic. Aftre chosing high compression
this software will reduce the (jpg.) pictures in the background on uploading them.
This free software can be downloaden from this link and lot of other sites.
Pay attention! As this software is automatically active on using the pc it brings back all pictures you send etc. to less then 100kb. If you do not want this, you have to deactivate (right hand corner, below) the software at these moments.
Blanks in names
If you embedd a photo or something else it is advisable not to have any blanks (gaps) in the names of the files, for instance on Youtube, Flickr or Earth. Instead of blanks use underscores (_) or the minus sign (-): this is something special in wiki-software. <no wiki> Do NOT use ' or * and & either </no wiki>. This will cause problems in the wiki.
