Ax & The Crew

Here it comes..
This is a new meshup project/idea that everyone could use in his freeflux weblog.
This time everything seems to fit like in a Lego^_tm castle!
Here is how it started..
I have an account on Flickr.. but with just one pic..
I mean.. I have my weblog.. why putting my pics on flickr?
Here, those swiss guys allow me to do whatever I want..(they even gain space, if you are kind with them :-))
I did my custom ajax gallery.. Works great for me..
...so I am happy with Freeflux!

Anyway..I discovered that many many friends of mine have a flickr account with many pics.. then.. why don't make them (somehow) meet each other on my weblog.. with their favourite pictures!
Is it possible?..yes it is.. or at least.. I am trying to.

I've just opened a new section, Ax & The flickErS.. and I am planning to spend some time in improving it
So it could change in the upcoming.. ages, you know.. work..private life..friends.. the netherlands :-)



It's Powered by FLICKR RESTful web services.. and, of course, the great Flux CMS.
Then..javascript "Parasitic" inheritance,XSL, ajax..gnip gnap..flip flop..etc

Have a look..and if at that time won't work.. well I said.. I am trying to :-)!

Check this out (Better with Firefox)

Hei, look at your left.. What's that "axelspin Talk"!? What's for!?

I leave to the great developers of meebo to explain..

Ok, I`ve just noticed that someone is starting to surf around the web to have a look to my ajax image gallery.. but there`s lack in documentation.. so I worked a bit on it and here you go.. this is a brief gallery description with the sourcecode (css excluded at the moment).. HTML:


Of course everything could be improved here.. anyway.. I wanted to handle different indipendent galleries and for this reason I`m using javascript prototypes to handle a each gallery as a single indipendent object.. in this way you can have more than one gallery in the same page just adding this piece of html.

The numbers used to complete the id labels are for the proposal I have just mentioned, they must be different for each gallery. I tried also to do a full dinamic gallery..(ths html code shouldn`t be there.. but ok.. some cross browsing issue made me a bit sick :-) )




..Ok.. not so easy to comment, but if you need.. contact me!

Just one thing.. maybe someone could think.. ok and how ajax is used here?
Ajax has been used to load the xml desciption of a Flux cms folder (where I stored the images for a specific gallery) this xml is given by a trick thanks to chregu`s help, that enable the cms to make public the xml code.. I suggest to read the forum topic..
