A Flickr plugin to Jekyll

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000

This blog is driven by Jekyll and i have written a simple plugin to Jekyll that makes it easy to embed photographs from Flickr directly into your posts.

If you have a Gemfile, start by adding the fleakr gem to your Gemfile and run bundle install. If you don’t have a Gemfile, install the gem with gem install fleakr.

Then add the flickr plugin to your _plugins folder:

require 'liquid' require 'fleakr' Fleakr.api_key = "XXX" Fleakr.shared_secret = "YYY" Fleakr.auth_token = "ZZZ" CACHED_IMAGES = {} module Flickr def flickr_image(url) return "<img alt='#{image_object(url).title}' src='#{image_object(url).large.url}'>" end def flickr_medium_image(url) return "<img alt='#{image_object(url).title}' src='#{image_object(url).medium.url}'>" end private def image_object(url) CACHED_IMAGES[url] ||= Fleakr.resource_from_url(url) end end Liquid::Template.register_filter(Flickr)

Read the readme for the fleakr gem on how to obtain your flickr api tokens. Then add them to the top of the flickr.rb file.

Loop over your photos in your post layout, for example like this:

<article> <h1>{{ post.title }}</h1> {% for flickr_url in post.flickr %} <a href="{{ flickr_url }}">{{ flickr_url | flickr_image }}</a> {% endfor %} {{ post.content }} <footer> {{ post.date || date:"%Y-%m-%d" }}</br> </footer> </article>

Finally, the last step is to add one or more photos to your post:

--- layout: post title: A blog post with photos from flickr flickr: - http://www.flickr.com/photos/himynameisjonas/6167152072 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/himynameisjonas/6167152448 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/himynameisjonas/6167153574 --- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

I have also published all these examples as a gist.

A night out

A night out in July 2011. Emil and my brother David at Bröderna Olsson, Stockholm.

Prague

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Where in Prague from Sunday to Wednesday. A sort of delayed weekend trip with Eva. I felt like a real tourist with my camera so this is basically the only picture I took that is not on when we drank beer at a random beer garden (the spring had arrived in Prague).

Herr och Dam

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Took the train to Örebro with Eva over a Saturday a couple of weeks ago. Our objective was to see Eva’s friend Emilie play her piece. The piece was played in the least inspiring places I’ve visited in a long time.

Popaganda

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0000

At the end of August last year, it was time for the yearly Popaganda festival. Most of it was totally awesome but the absolute best part was the concert with Arcade Fire. Lovely!

Summer 2011

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000

It has been something between -10° and -20° Celcius cold this last week so I think I have to post at least one more photograph from last summer. And If I had to choose one photograph from last summer, I think I would have choosen this one. Taken in Vällingby, Stockholm while Eva and I where on a bike trip.

Greece

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Had to post some new photos as a contrast to last post’s photos. Theese two are from last summer, when Eva and I spent two relaxing but very hot weeks in Greece.

Malware, Reddit and Google Analytics

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

This is what happens with your traffic when one of your sites gets infected by malware and therefor being “blocked” by google. From a daily count of 200-300 visitors down to 0-2 visitors per day. But it’s a funny graph to look at.

And this is the awesome thing that happens when one of the posts of the same site as above is posted and gets popular on reddit. From a stable 150-200 visitors per to a huge peak at 20 000. Such a big difference that the rest of the days looks all flat.

24 Hour Business Camp

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

I went to 24 Hour Business Camp with Ingemar and Jonny (both colleagues from Mynewsdesk) on October the 30th last year. It took place at the awesome japanese spa Yasuragi. We spent the 24h coding on our project SilarApp, a clean and ambient real time data visualization dashboard. I think we did it quite well, we even won the jury’s award. Now we’re working hard on our spare time to release the first public version of SilarApp (it’s currently in closed beta) and we’re really proud of what we have done so far.

This is Svea. One of two cats my ex and I had when we lived together. I miss her (the cat, not the ex) and I have long going plans about getting one or two new kittens. Taken in Bandhagen, Stockholm, 2007.

Hello World!

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Hello world! The must-have post of a blog. I don’t know how many blogs i have started but if I know myself this isn’t the last one. Sadly…

However, the plan is to post some photos and maybe even some things about my other hobby (besides photography) coding/web development/yadayada. Time will tell.
