I am adding a Flickr stream to a website using Jquery and JSON as shown in Chris' tutorial http://css-tricks.com/build-your-own-social-home/.

	$.getJSON(\"http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?ids=52723107@N00&lang=en-us&format=json&jsoncallback=?\", function(data){
	  $.each(data.items, function(index, item){
		$(\"<img/>\").attr(\"src\", item.media.m).appendTo(\"#flickr ul\")
		  .wrap(\"<li><a href='\" + item.link + \"'></a></li>\");
	  });
	});

At the moment it is showing the last 20 pictures taken. Is there anyway to configure how many results actually show ( i only need about 5 or 6).

Thanks

I kinda wondered about that too, and then never found a good solution. I think I approached it from the angle that there is probably a parameter you can pass with the URL to limit the responses, but I never found one. Another angle to the problem would be to ditch the "each" loop and only loop through a set number of times, although I couldn't tell you exactly how to do that since I'm a bit of an amateur myself when it comes to all this stuff.

you just add an if statement at the end and you'll be able to control the amount of pix

;if ( index == 6 ) return false;

for 5 pictures.

works like a charm,

hope it helps Charles

PS Chris the footer OH MY ... siiiiiiiiiiick!!!!

Is there any way of getting random images from your Flickr stream?
