Test - pic sharing directly from ebird to this forum?

[Dave]

Trying to remember if I can post a pic directly from ebird...

<iframe width="640" height="517" src="https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/382468541/embed/640" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen style="width:640px;"></iframe>

Obviously trial 1 is not working. Isn't there a way you can use the embed code to have a pic show on the forum?

I know we chatted about this before....

Yeah. Use square brackets [ ] instead of angle brackets...

But I use [img src="" and the src points at the image location. I've completed a simple website page to help with this, but have neglected to put it up yet...

Give me 1 day

The hard part is getting the actual link to the image. My upcoming page will accept a checklist id (or url) and then allow you to copy the code for embedding images

Hello Dave!

As promised I have gotten a simple webpage up to help with getting eBird photos from Checklists into forum posts!
It's pretty simple:
1. Open this website: fvbirding.com/eBird/Checklist%20Photos.html
2. Follow the instructions!

Here's an example of the code that I got by putting in checklist S96899029

That works awesome! Thanks Jon!!

[Randy]

Amazing. I love that clicking on the photo takes you to the eBird checklist. Impressive!

[Chris]

Jon, that's awesome! I am impressed. I just did a quick test and it's very easy and takes no time at all.

Perfect timing too because I am getting low on my free Flickr photos.

Thanks a lot.

This Dipper was in the little inlet by the boat launch.

The Tree Sparrow was by the inlet and later in the vacant lot across the road. 


And thanks to Randy Walker for the camera!
