After modifying the TanTanNoodles Flickr plugin to allow WordPress Shortcodes that include date ranges, it seems it’s still not quite as reliable as it should be. The two preceding posts were both initially posted via my phone included shortcodes to display the picture I’d just taken / uploaded to flickr. However, only one (the palm frond) showed up via the shortcode.
I tested the same thing with flickr api test pages where you can enter the parameters of an API call onto their test page, and … it still returns nothing, even thought the dates are correct.
Searching the flickr forums shows up that their support for searching / filtering photos is spotty at best, and some parameter searches are completely broken. Googling reveals lots of people having the same problems, even over the last few months. Not bad for a service that’s been around for nearly 7 years.
