Posting Photos from iPad Flickr into GCA
« on: May 13, 2018, 06:28:22 PM »
Over on my Royal Melbourne thread, Dai asked if I could explain a bit more about this. Here’s how I’m doing it now. Firstly, this only applies to the iPad/Apple version of Flickr as far as I am aware. I’m mostly posting from my iPad these days, so I’ve been wondering about this for a while.
The iPad version of Flickr doesn’t have the same linking options as the PC one, so, for ages, I haven’t been posting pics. Someone made me aware of a possible fix, which I tried and it seems to work!


This takes longer to explain than to actually do, so bear with me!


Flickr on the iPad has a little ‘sharing’ curved arrow bottom right when you’ve got a photo open. Clicking it opens the iPad sharing dialogue box, which has a ‘copy URL’ button, which you should click. This doesn’t generate a link which GCA can use, but does create a shareable link which you CAN use in a BBCODE generator which can then be posted into a GCA thread. I’ve been using this one:
https://tools.rackonly.com/
which, if you click on, you’ll see takes you to a very simple but nice webpage. Scroll down a bit and there’s a line for pasting your Flickr link into and a little button handily marked ‘get code’ to make the BBCode link. You’ll see the link appear, which also then gets a little ‘Copy’ button, which you should click. (I’ve been deleting the unnecessary text bit - all you need is the text in the section starting with img and ending with /img in the square brackets).
Come back into GCA and Paste your link into a thread and voila - A Photo!


Sounds complicated, but it’s really not!
Have at it...

I've just noticed today that using Flickr on my Amazon Fire tablet which runs the Silk browser, I'm able to generate BBCode without using a third party addition.
Very easy!
