Customization

There are two ways to customize the output of Scrollster, the first is with the URL query string and the second is by editing scrollster.js

Query String

There are a number of options that you can use to customize the display of Scrollster using the query string.

• tag: You can use tag=tagname to show a specific tag from instagram. If no tag is provided, images from the "popular page" are displayed. You don't need to add "#" at the beginning, just the name of the tag. [default: null]
• images: You can use images=## to set how many images to fetch (maximum 60). [default: 60]
• size: You can use size=small to select which size image to fetch from instagram. Available sizes are: small, medium, and large. [default: large]
• speed: you can use speed=## to control the speed in seconds the page takes to scroll from top to bottom and vice versa. [default: 90]
• pause: You can use pause=## to control the time in seconds the scroll pauses at the top and bottom of the screen. [default: 10]
• reload: You can use reload=## to control the time in minutes Scrollster waits to get new images from instagram. [default 60]
• sort: You can use sort=none to control the order in which the images are sorted on the page. Available sort options are: none, most-recent, least-recent, most-liked, least-liked, most-commented, least-commented, and random. [default: none]
• author: You can use author to display the username of the person who posted the picture. [default: null]
• caption: You can use caption to display the caption that was originally posted with the image (including hashtags) [default: null]
• comments: You can use comments to display the comment count on the image. [default: null]
• likes: You can use likes to display the number of likes on an image. [default: null]
• link: You can use link so that clicking the image will take the user to the image post on instagram. [default: null]
• background: You can use background=red to change the default background color. If you use hex or rgb be sure to encode the URL. [default: null]
• color: You can use color=purple to change the default font color. If you use hex or rgb be sure to encode the URL (# is %23). [default: null]
• clientid: You can use clientid=## to provide or override a clientID inserted in scrollster.js. [default: null]

scrollster.js

Most of the variables that control the output of Scrollster are in the urlParams{} object. Simply change the default values that you want. If you don't want users to be able to modify the output with the query string then at the top of scrollster.js set enableQuery = false; and only the settings from the js file will be used.

Examples

?tag=spring&author&sort=random: Display 60 large images all tagged "spring" with the username displayed, slowly scrolling up and down.

?size=small&sort=most-liked&speed=0&refresh=5&likes&link: Display a small grid that doesn't scroll of the most popular images on instagram that refreshes every 5 minutes, sorted by likes and you can click to see the original on instagram.

?tag=tbt&author&likes&comments&caption: See who's throwing back and what they have to say about it.
