Those shiny reflection effect can be seen everywhere especially on web 2.0 logos.

eZ Publish extensions for Flickr and YouTube

A while ago, I wrote eZ Publish extensions for Flickr and YouTube. Basically, you pass a keyword/tag you’d like to search to template operator and it will return a list of photos (and videos if you are using YouTube template operator) matching the criteria. You can also set total number of results to return. All you need is your API application key/developer id from Flickr and YouTube.

Since I am already confusing everyone and myself, here’s a visual to help you understand better.

Will be sharing them on eZ Publish contributions once I know how to do so.
