Welcome to the online presence of Gavin Montague, a web developer living in Glasgow, Scotland.

FlickrBox

A Greasemonkey script for Flickr

Hey kids! FlickrBox has been superseded by Greased Lightbox. I suggest you use that in future.

This script uses the fantastic lightbox.js to enhance browsing on Flickr. Rather than try to explain what it does why don't you watch the demo?.

Download

You can download FlickrBox or keep reading the dull stuff.

Requirements

FlickrBox does not require a Flickr API key as Andrew kindly pointed out to me. The only thing this script needs to run is Greasemonkey, of course.

Caveat

This is released with no promise of support whatsoever. I wrote it just to see if I could and I'm pretty happy with it. Don't blame me if it blows up your computer, eats your files or starts to download Shania Twain mp3s. Having said that, if you like it, or have any problems feel free to contact me or leave a comment.

ChangeLog

12.01.06 - Fixed bugs from feedback regarding subdomains.
