Viewing photos by date

    Hello,

    Been using the Flickr Gallery plugin for a couple of years now and I’m happy with it, however I haven’t found a way of making a gallery based on archive date, i.e.

    when the URL has this ‘archives/date-taken/2010/02/20’ – i.e. no tags.

    I tried with photoset mode set to tags but it doesn’t work. Is there a way to make it work?

    For example, this didn’t work, because date is not a tag, so I guess it would need to be a specific mode as the search criteria would be different?
    [flickr-gallery mode=”tag” tags=”archives/date-taken/2010/02/20″ tag_mode=”all”]

    Ok, reading some more – should have done it before posting here…

    So I tried this

    [flickr-gallery mode=”search” min_taken_date=”02/20/2010″ max_taken_date=”02/20/2010″]

    (also with dates the other way around, 20/02, 20th of February, but the gallery isn’t showing up on my page).

    Finally, this seems to work
    [flickr-gallery mode=”search” min_taken_date=”2010/02/20″ max_taken_date=”2010/02/20″]

    However when I start restricting the search it doesn’t seem to work anymore

    [flickr-gallery mode=”search” user_id=”14256361@N00″ min_taken_date=”2010/02/20″ max_taken_date=”2010/02/20″ api_key=”xxxx”]

    I tried different values for user_id, but in the end I used the one in the settings for this app.

    I think this is more of a flickr API issue – but maybe someone knows a way to make it work?

    So when I enter the search criteria here https://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/flickr.photos.search

    it returns no results when I set the min and max dates to be the same day, if I remove either param it works, but I do want to restrict it by date. There must be a way of doing it… Even when I set the dates to be different, it hasn’t returned any results when I used both params. Only when I use either of them.

    Ok, I needed to set the time too, duh!

    For future reference, in case anyone needs help:
    min_date_taken = 2010-02-20 00:00:00
    max_date_taken = 2010-02-20 23:59:59

    So the plugin code looks something like this

    [flickr-gallery mode=”search” user_id=’yourid’ min_date_taken=’2010-02-20 00:00:00 max_taken_date=’2010-02-20 23:59:59′ api_key=”yourkey”]
    (tried with single and double quotes, same results)

    But there’s a mismatch between what https://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/flickr.photos.search returns and what the plugin shows – the plugin is showing a lot more results. Using the same params, when I use the flickr.photos.search I get 10 results, when I use the plugin I get what seems to be an infinite number of results.

    So I’m not sure this is resolved. Do you think this is an issue or have I done something wrong in the plugin code?

    Ok, think I got it now

    [flickr-gallery mode=”search” user_id=”xxx” min_taken_date=”2010-02-20 14:54:21″ max_taken_date=”2010-02-20 22:00:00″]
