What the addon does

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

Installation Instructions

There are two ways to install this addon, the first of which i highly recommend as it's more efficient and greasemonkey also provides lots of other free scripts such as this which can enhance your internet :)

Method 1:

Use Firefox 1.5 or later

Download Greasemonkey in Firefox

Install and restart firefox

Visit here and install the script by pressing the big 'Install' button to the right of the page.

Method 2:

Use Firefox 1.5 or later

Download the xpi from the official [requires login] location

Go to where you downloaded the xpi file (Desktop or your downloads directory) and click and drag the facebookviewallphotos.xpi file over your firefox window and release the mouse button.

Press Install.

Restart Firefox

New Version Released

EDIT: 1.4 has been released at userscripts but not here as a firefox addon! please use method one here to install version 1.4

Version 1.3 has been released! And this is very feature packed! The links to peoples' photos underneath a photo they are tagged in are now linked to their 'all photos page' instead of the separated albums page. This is the same for the album page. The photos link in the user's profile will now be linked to their 'all photos page' instead of the two separated albums :)

GREASEMONKEY USERS: Download the code from here

PLAIN FIREFOX USERS: Download the xpi from here

Features

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'.<

F.A.Q.

Will I be able to view pictures I had otherwise not been able to see?
No.

I can't see it working - What pages does it work on?
profile.php, album.php, photo_search.php and photo.php - It affects different pages in different ways. See the features to find out what changes are made!

Does it work on photos of myself?
Yes, of course.

How can I disable this addon?
If you're using Greasemonkey, navigate to a facebook photo or profile and right click the monkey in the bottom right of the firefox window. Deselect 'Facebook - View All Photos' and it will be deactivated the next time you load a facebook page.

If you're using the firefox addon, go to Tools > Addons > ViewAllPhotos > Disable.
