Flickr Contacts Organiser Greasemonkey script

Description

This script allows you to organise your flickr contacts by adding tags to them.

You can tag any flickr user they dont need to be your contacts in order for you to tag them. You can even tag users that have blocked you or that you have blocked.

The tags are stored locally on your machine and are thus private to you.

To tag a user you can either do it from the contacts page, where a +tag link will be added next to users icons, or theres also a "Tag this Person" menu item added to the BuddyIcon menus.

Once youve tagged some contacts, if you go to the contacts page you can view the contacts listed by tag, there is also a select box called "Current Filter" You can change the filter to view photos from those tagged users.

The current list of available filters are:

  • Most recent photos
  • Earliest photos
  • Recently favourited photos
  • Most interesting photos
  • Least interesting photos
  • Random photos
  • Photos of yours theyve faved
  • Photos of theirs youve faved
  • Photos tagged with...
  • Photos text includes...
  • Their contacts
  • Their contacts photos
  • Faves you have in common
  • Contacts you have in common
  • Their most popular photo tags
  • Photo tags you have in common
  • Their groups
  • Groups you have in common
  • Recently commented photos
  • Testimonials they have written
  • Testimonials they have received
  • Their interests
  • Interests you have in common
  • Photos of theirs you have commented on
  • Photos of yours they have commented on
  • Photos they have commented on

    Updates

    Updated: 19th April 2007

    i updated the script to fix a bug, that on occasion caused the tag datastore to get corrupted. now if the script detects a corrupt datastore, it will automatically fix it.

    I also added ability to backup and restore the tag datastore via flickrmail, which means you can back up your datastore to your flickrmail account and then import your tags on another computer. These functions are available via the "Tools/Greasemonkey/User Script Commands" or "Tools/User Script Commands" Menu

    Updated: 4th May 2007

    Added "Recent photos of this user" and "Interesting photos of this user" filters. These do a tag search for "me,selfportrait,flickr:user=username" on the users photostream.
    Added recent+interesting "Photos tagged with..." filters I Fixed the "testimonials they wrote" filter. Also fixed the intermittent stream duplication bug.

    Updated: 20th June 2008

    Fixed script to work with latest Firefox and GreaseMonkey. This script is a work in progress so expect some more features soon.

    So useful work...

    But at this time i have some problems with the Database,:
    I can't restore it with Flikr Mail (I doon't see the popup which confirm the operation).

    The backup via Flickr Mail seem to work (I have a popup which confirm the operatio)...
    I can only restore with the Direct Input.

    And some time i have a tag on an contact , but i can't see it : when i re-tagg it , i have a message "Alreadt tagged with..."

    I have creat a special Firefox Profile for using Flickr, deleted all installation, reinstall all, etc...
    Maybe your script store some some information in an other place?
    What i must deteted to refresh totaly my information on this script?

    What can i do more?

    Thank for your help!

    unfortunately the rating system here is not working right now. I want to be the first to rate once it is up again...!

    erm... and I forgot one big wish: the ability to transfer the tags from one computer to another. I use multiple computer at home and work and would have to do the tagging again and again on each mashine. I am sure I won't do that as it will take hours. So if you want to keep up my exitedness about this script the transfer function would help a lot... ;-)

    great script! I love it. Thank you very much! One wish: able to add multiple tags in one go (no need to click for each tag). Oh, and another wish: a list of exsisting tags, where I can choose from by clicking. For a new contacts tags. Multiple choosing would be best.
