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 v1.4.1
now works on srch.php page
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
Allow me to firstly say, this trick doesn't give you access to all of a person's photos, nor can I guarantee you're going to get any photos at all. Facebook's privacy settings are a mystery to me and I don't understand how it decides which pictures to show to you and which to not. Ultimately, if you get any results, count yourself lucky. Receiving a page where it says they're not tagged in any photos is NOT a bug. That's just the privacy features of facebook at hand.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

is there a way to see friend's photos that has been tagged in private albums? thanx! |
|

Help me out here, dhsap and Dan: I search for a name, click on the red link and ALWAYS get: "had not been tagged in any photos yet. Facebook allows you to upload unlimited photos.
No matter who it is. I don't think it's working for me. |

@dshap, ok a lot of points you made there, let's see if i can address them all. so firstly about removing the viewing all photos functionality, in the long switch function, comment out the profile.php and album.php cases. secondly, this script doesn't have any effect on the 1/x 2/x thing as that's a facebook bug that happens even when my script is disabled. about the points you made on your second post, recently facebook has gone all ajaxy and therefore when you click a link, the content reloads without the page refreshing and therefore greasemonkey triggering a call. for this reason some functionality doesn't happen as this script hasn't been called on that page. to force a refresh you can press F5 but this isn't entirely satisfactory as it takes much longer. at the moment i can't see any way of reloading the greasemonkey script once the page has changed. oh and this script does actually remove name=X from the pictures, but doesn't always get called cos of the already mentioned ajax problem. i'll keep my eye on other facebook scripts and see what ideas they come up with to get past this ajax stuff |

Also... Why is it that if I'm on the photo_search page for someone I'm not friends with...sometimes when I click a picture (to go to that picture in its album), it says "Content unavailable - you may not have permission to see this...etc" but then I click back and try again 1-2 times and then I can get to it...Is there any way to correct this so that it always goes on the first try? EDIT: i think i figured it out...when I click the red link and go to photo_search.php to see pics of people I am not friends with, sometimes the photos on that page have links that have "name=X" in the URL and sometimes they do not. If they have "name=X" in the URL and you click the photo to be taken to it in that album - it will say it is blocked. If you take out the "name=X", you can go to the photo (which is of course in an album that is normally visible to you. The weird thing is that sometimes all the links on the page have "name=X" on them, and then you refresh the page, and then they all have links w/o it...How can I make it so that they never have "name=X" so that this issue never comes up? |

what if the only feature i want from this is the part where i can view pics of people i'm not friends with...can i comment certain lines/functions of the script so that it doesn't mess with my regular photo viewing? 1. i like to be able to see pics added by the user vs. added by others
I'd like to disable the "view all photos" feature but maintain the feature that lets me click the red link for private profiles. I have a little bit of Javascript experience but I can't figure it out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much. |

does it work if a person is my friend?
|
|
|
iwantitall, this is because facebook has suddenly gone all ajax and so the pages load without actually transporting to another page. I'm currently trying to find a way around this in the code but atm it's tricky. you can always force the reloading of a page by pressing F5 and the script should work fine. |
|
|
so lately when i try to search, the name doesn't turn red like it use to...but once i either reinstall the script or turn off then turn on greasemonkey it works again...until i try to search for another name, it goes back to not working...any suggestions on how to fix this? thanks! |
|
|
all i get is blank page :\
|
|

@Praveen Mark... i have been meaning to reply to you for a while but completely forgot. i think you're referring to another script as the number of pictures has no effect on this script :) |
|
|
awesome script.

|

StealthMonkey, done :) |

Any reason you couldn't add this search? Mask:

Is it possible to trick facebook into thinking your primary network is the same as the network of the photo that you are trying to view? |

>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.
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 |
|

ok i installed it , but it didnt work every time a blanck result !!! |
|
|
please any help,
|
|
|
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? |
|
|
It worked perfectly. I joined just to say so. LOL |
|
|
hope an update comes soon |
You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
