Facebook - View All Photos

Places a link to view all photos of a user regardless of who tagged them. Also allows you to see photos of someone who has a private profile

News


UPDATED TO v1.4

Ground-breaking update :) Can now view photos of people who have private profiles

Features

  • Lets you search for pictures of someone who has a private profile or has set their privacy settings so that you cannot view their pictures. (Check below for specific details)
  • Removes the two sections of photos users on facebook have ('Tagged by User' and 'Tagged by Others') and combines them in to one.
  • Redirects photos link on profile page to the user's all photos section
  • Links each tagged user's photos link in picture view and album view to the all photos section
  • Adds a link to the top of photos to allow you to see every picture they are tagged in
  • Lots of stupid people have a plethora of applications on their page and as greasemonkey scripts are only executed when the page has been fully downloaded, you might click the photos link before it's had a chance to change. You'll notice when it has as it says 'View All Photos of' instead of 'View Photos of'.

Photos of people with private profiles

Ok, this could get confusing so stick with me. Start by searching for someone's name in the search panel. Profiles that you have access to will not be changed, however profiles that you do not have access to will now be coloured red and will link to a photos page. The only photos you see, will be ones that the person is tagged in which:

  • is in your PRIMARY network
  • there are photos availble to you to view (public albums etc)

So basically these are not photos you wouldn't have been otherwise able to access, it just saves you having to go through album after album looking for photos of them.

As this url manipulation only searches for the name of the person and not the id, if any two people should have identical names then pictures with either of them will be shown in the results. (There's nothing I can do about that without painstakingly manipulating the results page)

This is not a hack i've developed, it's a feature of facebook that allows you to do this. Of course, the searched person will have no idea you've searched for them.

At the moment, this only works on the search page (s.php) and so will not work on friends lists or in group members lists (just search for them to get their link to turn red)

If a user has a public profile but has set their privacy settings so that you cannot see pictures of them it adds a 'View Some Photos' box to their profile actions box

This is still a work in progress and so if you should find a bug, contact me at soniiic@gmail.com with the problem and url

Note: If you think this script isn't working and are constantly getting blank results, please try searching for a random name within your network and then clicking on their private profile link. When I try this I usually get results about 90% of the time (which proves it works).

Description


When viewing photos a user is tagged in, you're usually shown two photo sections. The first being photos the user has tagged of themselves, and the second section being photos of the user that other people have tagged them on. Annoyingly, facebook doesn't let you merge these two sections in to one to have a long uninterrupted slideshow of every picture... until now ;) This script allows you to view all the photos in chronological order regardless of who tagged them in the photo!

The link is placed conveniently at the top of the page above the photos

>when i use this script using my profile to which the friend has been added, it simply says that i cant view coz of privacy settings. but when i try to search for the name using another profile (which doesnt have the friend added) it shows me that the user has no photos tagged of them.

I don't understand what you mean by this, could you explain this to me by email? thanks

>i think the only way to see restricted pictures could be if one could find a way to find out the public id or url of the picture

the pid and id is found in the picture's filename, but still you can't access any of the pictures in that album as it comes up with a content not found error

here is what i am getting.
i have a friend whose pictures have been tagged by their friend but the privacy policy doesnt allow me to view those pictures.

when i use this script using my profile to which the friend has been added, it simply says that i cant view coz of privacy settings. but when i try to search for the name using another profile (which doesnt have the friend added) it shows me that the user has no photos tagged of them.

now i know that is not the case because the user HAS photos tagged of them.

i clicked several other profiles and they all gave the same "no photos tagged" message. maybe these other people do not have photos tagged of them but my friend has.

so what is the problem here?

PS: that *wwwfacebook.com/photos.php?subj=user id" thing works. it does show the album, the album name, who added it, and the cover pic. but it wont let us access the pictures or see any thumbnail other than the cover.

i think the only way to see restricted pictures could be if one could find a way to find out the public id or url of the picture

I am having no luck getting this to work either. I've tried over and over again with different variables, and I am not getting anywhere. You don't think that this has anything to do with other add-ons/grease monkey scripts that I use, do you?

Does this script let you view pictures of people you are not friends with?

I get the red link color change but when I click the link it says they are not tagged in any photos.

I use greasemonkey and the newest version of FireFox. Does this work for anyone?

Oh, and there's going to be a big update soon ;)

Sorry, doesnt work on private profiles, regardless if theyre in your network or not. For me the only things this script does is to sum together added by self and added by others to one column.
I have tried. Would love it if it worked!

Doesn't work for me either. I tried people in my network and the link turns red but when you click on it it says "had not been tagged yet", even when I know they have been tagged. Same with public profiles, the link is there but when you click on it it doesn't show any pics at all.

@thescriptuser2, search for someone and if they have a private profile, the link will turn red and you may be able to see pictures of them. if their profile is public then it will change the photos link on the profile so you can see all opf their pictures in one group rather than the usual two sections.

@eugenio and all, i THINK i've come to the conclusion that you can only see pictures of someone who has a private profile if they're in your primary network. can anyone else confirm this for me by doing some random tests and see what comes up? thanks.

I just installed this tonight. I'm no user on Facebook, nor do I have any 'friends' on facebook. I am running on firefox, and the script is supposedly installed correctly. Nothing is showing up though like it should on facebook. What's the deal?

same for me too...

had not been tagged in any photos yet.

Facebook allows you to upload unlimited photos.
Create an album and tag in some photos.

am i doing something wrong? is with every profile i tried .. grrr :(

@xJeremyx for most people it will say that, but for people who have a pretty close connection to you, say they're a friend of a friend and they're in the same network, then it's more likely that you will see pictures

this seems like the best way towards unlocking those private albums. do ur best :D

all patiently waiting ;)

hey ray1987, thanks for the info!

I've checked out that page and unfortunately i can't find a way of accessing the private albums. the checking is all done server side and as far as i know there's no way to trick it using a modified url (as is the case when viewing all photos)

you can however view the full version of the thumbnail depicting the album by changing the letter 'a' in the thumbnail's location url to a letter 'n'. or use this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11649

I'll keep an eye on this album page and see what i can do, maybe i'll even update the script so it can be accessed! it does seem fairly useful :)

figured a way to see which private albums the target is tagged in....."www.facebook.com/photos.php?subj='person's id'"

gives a list of ALL albums....however i cant access the private albums....any way to do it?

yes, i could see the hidden ones the other night. 'joe bloggs' had 314 tagged pictures and before i installed this script, i could only see 266 of them, as the rest were, as you said, in private albums. but, when i installed this script the other night, i tested it. suddenly, it showed me all 314 pictures. the hidden ones that i couldnt see before were there. the next mornin, i tried it again, but it was back to 266. maybe i just got lucky? i dont know.

Dan Cooper Script's author

For myself it's working just the way it always has. The 'hidden' pictures are ones in private albums i'm assuming and you could never see those before anyway (could you?)
 
Dec 19, 2007
jossyc User

has this stopped workin corectly? last night, i could see ALL the pics of someone, even the hidden ones. but today, those hidden ones arent there anymore and you can just see the ones you were already allowed to see anyway

i noticed my facebook layout was slightly different this mornin so i dont know if its something to do with that
 
Dec 18, 2007

It does work with the Boost For Firefox addon which allows you to view 100 photos per page instead of the usual 20. I'd recommend using this with my script :)

Oh and i found a minor bug with facebook's new slideshow feature. When viewing a photo, press Left or Right on your keyboard and the next picture will come up, however the photo links don't update... and i have no idea of making it run my javascript again :/ any help?

Is there a way to incorporate this with the other script? where we can see every picture on one page without having to scroll through multiple pages? that would be perfection.
