Topic: to developers: > symbol in flickr name

My flickr name starts with a > symbol (which is legal). This caused some issue in the generated XML from within AIR application - it seemed to insert some extra chars (which I had to edit out) causing the name not to be found. After manually editing, it was fine. Maybe this should be looked at.

Re: to developers: > symbol in flickr name

it seemed to insert some extra chars

What characters did it insert?
For the 'Gallery Title', JuiceboxBuilder-Pro escapes the &, < and " characters to &amp;, &lt; and &quot; respectively to prevent parsing errors in the XML file. The > character remains untouched. I would expect JuiceboxBuilder-Pro would do the same for the 'Flickr User Name' text field but I cannot test this without knowing a genuine Flickr User Name that starts with a >.
Please post your Flickr User Name and I will investigate further.

Re: to developers: > symbol in flickr name

It's >michael

The XML produced is:

<juiceboxgallery

    useFlickr="true"
    flickrUserName="

>michael"/>

Re: to developers: > symbol in flickr name

Thank you for supplying further information on this issue.
I will log a bug report.
A workaround would be to use your Flickr User Id instead of your Flickr User Name. You can find your Flickr User Id from here.
