Our ever popular Flickr Stack, Flickr Modern has now been updated. The main difference is that it’s now actually 2 Stacks, Flickr Modern and FM Photostream. The reason for this is that we’ve been able to being Set support back.

As you may know, Flickr changed their slideshow a while back which then broke our Stack. We were quick to bring it back, but we had to remove Set support. We are now pleased to say that Set support is back!

We had to split the Stack in to two so that we could keep the existing functionality. Flickr Modern now supports Sets only. For those who still want to display your entire Photostream, FM Photostream is on hand to do that.

Although it’s two Stacks, we’re treating it as one and will continue to charge just $1 for it.

Just like our recently updates Stacks, we’ve also updated the stack with a brand new Installer. Once downloaded, just double-click the installer and it will automatically install or update the stack for you.

The update is now available for download. For existing customers, just follow the download link within your original email invoice and the download will run automatically.

If you are using a free version of the stack or have yet to purchase the Stack - all our stacks are just $1 each.

After a (very) brief removal, the Flickr Modern stack is now available.

What happened?
Flickr made a change to how one of their slideshows work. Our stack contained the slideshow in an iFrame - similar to the iFrame page feature in RapidWeaver. Flickr added some code that would allow the slideshow to detect if it was framed and would automatically break out and go full screen. This meant that after the change, any users with the Flickr Modern stack would not get the full benefit (and hide any content on screen).

Is it fixed?
Yes, sort of. I have re-released the stack using Flickr’s preferred embed code, however it means that it’s currently limited to a single user’s photostream. Displaying group pools or specific tags isn’t a feature that is yet available. I am working on writing new stacks that will provide these features. These will almost certainly be seperate stacks.

A note about the update to Flickr Modern - I have been working on it very quickly so it’s currently back to Beta, it seems to be working with no problems but it has not had as much testing as I’d like. As the foundation of the stack hasn’t changed, I don’t forsee any problems, though please contact us if you do find an issue.

Due to a change in how the official Flickr slideshow works, the Flickr Modern stack will no longer function correctly. I am currently working to see if a fix is available. In the meantime, I highly recomend changing to one of our alternative Flickr stacks. A post will be up as soon as there is an update.

Our Flickr Stack has been updated and is now called Flickr Classic. This is to differentiate it from our newest Flickr Stack called Flickr Modern. It is similarly featured to Flickr Classic, but provides fullscreen support and uses Flickr’s sleeker Slideshow player. It’s available now from the Goodies page.

Yet another Flickr Stack! This one is called JSFlickr, and uses the same lightweight slideshow as our QuickSnapper Stack. It’s also Javascript, meaning for those who wish to avoid using Flash-based slideshows for your Flickr photos - there’s now an alternative!

Another new stack for RapidWeaver and Stack users: Bananr.

Using Bananr.com and the lightweight BananAlbum flash slideshow, we’ve got another way for Flickr users to share their photos.

Check it out over at our Stacks page.
