New Hack: Add an Album Dropdown to a Photo Page

[Ernie H.]

Hey everyone; we just posted a hack that adds a dropdown menu of albums on your photo detail page, and if you choose the option, adds it to your album automatically. While the interface is a bit rough, it should give developers an idea of the APIs we use to display the album listings as well as the POST url and parameters we use to add a photo to an album. You can take a look at the code here.

Added this to my site through your instructions and the add to album link shows but has this error:
'there was an error adding this to the album'

one of the photos is here...

When adding a photo to an album we keep getting a < script error.
Does the < script require amending?
Thank you - Alex

Hello Ernie?
Has this bug been fixed yet -?

Thanks - Alex

[Ernie H.]

Hi Alex (and everyone!) - a new version of the code has recently been updated. I added a couple of basic checks, including having the dropdown not display if there are no albums, and the removal of a javascript alert(); command which was for testing.

there is still a bug into the code - receive the following (see attached file) alert when I click on the ADD to album button

[Keith Davis]

I'm getting the same thing?

Hi Jef and Keith,

You're right, there was an additional alert bug when adding a photo to an album. I went ahead and copy & pasted a new version of the Javascript in the article. Thanks for letting us know. -Ernie

[Ernie H.]

Aaack, sorry about. My copy and paste left out a "{" in the Javascript code. Try now. Sorry for all the inconvenience, you guys.

[Ernie H.]

Oof! Okay, just updated another version of the code... try now.

[Keith Davis]

Excellent, many thanks
Keith

Hi Ernie

works perfect and this makes adding pictures to albums (on the go) so much more fun and fast.
One little thing - just to let you know - when I use Safari on the Mac I see the pop-up but not the "Add" button. No problem with firefox.

Thanks for this hack - really cool
