PRESENTING PHOTOS FROM FLICKR

You can install 2 photos at the SGAG Default Gallery:

Like we said, we will not explain how to create an acount and put photos on Flickr, because it's very well expalained at its site.

But you need to know how to use these photos at SGAG.

Going to the page of the photo you like to put at the SGAG browser, you need to go to the "See different sizes" page:

When you upload a photo to Flickr it creates copies of your photo having some sizes:

You need to choose the Small or higher size and copy the address of the photo:

Try to find what size is better for your case...

Open the "SGAG Template" you have installed at Blogger. There you will see these lines:

...
//////////////////////////////////////////////
////AREA ABOUT DEFAULT GALLERY
//////////////////////////////////////////////
//The Default Gallery has one panel for Blogger,two for Fickr and one for YouTube
////If you are a Newbie or higher change these values for that you like .
//Blogger 
'HASPANEL1="yes";'+
'PANEL1IMAGE="default";'+
'PANEL1TEXT="default";'+
'PANEL1LINK="default";'+

//Flickr1
'HASPANEL2="yes";'+
'PANEL2IMAGE="default";'+
'PANEL2TEXT="default";'+
'PANEL2LINK="default";'+

//mp3.com or YouTube
'HASPANEL3="yes";'+
'PANEL3IMAGE="default";'+
'PANEL3TEXT="default";'+
'PANEL3LINK="default";'+

//Flickr2
'HASPANEL4="yes";'+
'PANEL4IMAGE="default";'+
'PANEL4TEXT="default";'+
'PANEL4LINK="default";'+

//column logo
'LOGOIMAGE="default";'+
//message
'INFOMANMSG="default";'+

//// If you are a Beginner or higher, change the name of the room for chat by  one specificaly yours (by example: the first characters of your name + room):
'ROOM_NAME=" DMUroom ";'+
///////////////////////////
...

Paste the address of the first photo at the parameter PANEL2IMAGE and the second at PANEL4IMAGE.

Each photo has a page at Flickr. Copy this page-address (different from the photo-address) and paste it at: PANEL2LINK or PANEL4LINK.

When someone pass the pointer over the browser having a photo, will appear at the Chat Area a text that you can redefine using the parameter PANEL2TEXT or PANEL4TEXT.

It's all similar we did for the blog...

If you don't like to have any of the two browsers having photos at the walls, change the parameter HASPANEL2 or HASPANEL4 to: "no".

Another use of Flickr is to change the logo at the rotating column in front of the SGAG Default Gallery:

To do it, right-click and save this image (column.jpg) to any place of your hard disk, to be open by your Windows Paint (or Photoshop etc.)

The logo is only at one face of the column and you need to design yours over the space ocupied by ours. After this, upload the image to Flickr and found the address for the "photo" having the Medium size (500 x 500 pixels). This address needs to replace "default" at the parameter: LOGOIMAGE in the SGAG TEmplate.

At the next lessons you will learn how to install music and videos, from mp3.com and YouTube, in the SGAG browsers.
