_exclude

Suppresses portions of the Picnik user interface.
The functionality described in this section is still under development. Use with care.

Default Value

None.

Remarks

The main Picnik user interface consists of five main tabs labeled "Home", "Library", "Edit", "Create", and "Save & Share". If you'd like to streamline your users' experience, you can turn off any of these except "Home".

One or more of the following parameters, separated by commas, can be provided:

• "in": suppresses the "Library" tab.
• "edit": suppresses the "Edit" tab.
• "create": suppresses the "Create" tab.
• "out": suppresses the "Save & Share" tab.

Note that while this option currently suppresses the selected portions of the user interface, it may not completely prevent the user from accessing them.

This is an extension of the sample we gave for the _export parameter. In this case, we've added the _exclude=out parameter to suppress the "Save & Share" tab.

This is an extension of the samples we gave for _import. In this case, since we've already got a fantastic source image, we ask Picnik to suppress the "Library" tab by adding _exclude=in.
