Yes I’m using that on my website. As I understand it I still have to edit your plugin files to load the Flickr photos with Shadowbox rather than Colorbox though. Is that correct or am I missing something simpler?

Yes thats right. Thanks!

Just to be annoying can I also request that you add an option to use shadowbox? I can manually edit the code to achieve that but I think with these extra options your plugin will be even better!

I could do that but then wouldn’t I would have to manually change the photoset on Flickr every time I updated the photos? I was hoping for a more automatic solution.

Nevermind, I found a solution.

For anyone who may come across the same problem, change the following lines from:
$url = “https://twitter.com/status/user_timeline/$username.json”;
$json = file_get_contents($url);
return $json;

to this:
$curl_handle=curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL,”https://twitter.com/status/user_timeline/$username.json”);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, ‘Twitter’);
$json = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
return $json;

Oh, and here is the article listing the various fixes:

A possible fix was mentioned in an earlier thread but it wasn’t much use for me. The pixelation problem lies with the way IE handles the fade in and fade out jquery functions. I found this an article which states 3 fixed you can use and the easiest one is to simply assign a background colour to the fading element.

Edit the corresponding line in the quote-rotator-management.class.php file from this:
echo "<div id=\"quoterotator\" style=\"font-size:$fontsize$fontunit;\">\n";
to this
echo "<div id=\"quoterotator\" style=\"font-size:$fontsize$fontunit;background-color:#FFF;\">\n";
and it should work!

chembron the rogue border appearing under your login box is caused by the other image file that the BM custom login plugin uses (called ‘login-bkg-bottom.gif’ – you’ll see it in the folder where you placed your personalised background). I guess the simplest way to remove it from your login page would be to overwrite the existing gif with a blank gif.

If you can brave some css work then instead of editing the gif edit the following files:
bm-custom-login.css
bm-custom-login-2.css
bm-custom-login-3.css

From each of the files remove the line:
background:url( images/login-bkg-bottom.gif ) center bottom no-repeat;

That will remove your stray gif file.
