Photo upload Palo Alto Bicycle Club
UPLOAD PHOTO Error Handling: Title Required File Required (must be JPG/GIF, <=10MB) AJAX Loading icon to let user know it’s working Displays message for 5 seconds, then gently disappears Flickr API - (through PHP) Tag (persons name)
VIEW PHOTOS AJAX Loaded through Flickr - JSON Loads 10 most recent photos Hovers image when clicked using Fancybox SORT - by tags (user’s name) Error handling - if none found displays message If nothing entered, displays all photos If match found, display matched photos - case insensitive - matches anywhere in string
Graceful degradation If user has Javascript DISABLED all is not lost! By default, there is a box with a link to Flickr so users can still view the photos. The code adds the gallery and upload functionality using Javascript.
