It seems Flickr made some interface changes, which broke my Vimeo bookmarklet. I changed the code and all is fine again. The new bookmarklet can still be found in the old post, but here is the new bookmarklet for those to lazy to click.
Flickr Set Photos for Vimeo

Update: It seems that my bookmarklet did not work in every browser, as Flick renders the sets differently in different browsers. I updated the code and it should now work.
As I was playing with Vimeo for the video of the Torchwood Swede, I ran into an issue that needed a bookmarklet to solve it. I have never made a bookmarklet, but now here it is.
The problem was that when you want to add photos to a Vimeo video all it accepts is a comma separated list of either URLs or Flickr Photo IDs. I already had made a set on Flickr of the photos I wanted to add and adding all those 18 URLs by hand was just too much work
So I got thinking: why not make a bookmarklet that gets all the links of the images in the set from the page, and outputs them to the user as a comma separated list? Although I have never done something like this before, it only took me a few minutes to build this and the result is the following link.
Flickr Set Photos for Vimeo
Using it is very easy. Just drag the bookmarklet into your bookmarks-bar. Now when you want to add all the photos from a set to your Vimeo photo, go to the phoo set on Flickr and click on the bookmarklet. This will give youa popup with a long code of text. Copy and paste that text into your Vimeo text boxx for photos and submit.
The code has a few small issues. First of it returns URLs, not Flickr Photo IDs. This doesn’t really matter but it would be more human-readable maybe. Secondly it doesn’t catch if it is on a Flickr site at all. I might change that in the future but probably won’t. If you want to make your own edit, you can download the source from here.
To make this bookmarklet I used some code from this site, and this little tool helped me out to compress the code.

So, I just had my Yahoo Pipes talk here at BarcampLondon3 at Google. It was basically a recap of this blog post, with a nice question and answer session afterwords. Cool thing though is that Tom Morris made a video of my talk and posted it to Blip.TV.
