Tag Search for Addicted to Flickr

I wrote a small patch for Addicted to Flickr that adds support for the flickr.photos.search method.

Note: There was a bug in the original patch (tagmode rather that tag_mode). I've corrected this.

How to Apply

Download and save the patch, then copy it to the same directory where you've put class.flickr.php. Then:

patch class.flickr.php class.flickr.php.patch

The output from this should be something like:

patching file class.flickr.php

This all assumes you're using a friendly OS X or Linux system; if you're running Windows, you're on your own.

Examples of Use

The main Addicted to Flickr site has plenty of examples; look at the getUsersPublicPhotos example and substitute in a call to the newly patched-in getTagSearchPhotos method, and you'll have a good start. For example:

$result = $flickr->getTagSearchPhotos('','aircanada','all',1,15);

This will return the most recent 15 photos tagged 'aircanada'.

$result = $flickr->getTagSearchPhotos('','aircanada,airplane','all',1,15);

This will return the most recent 15 photos tagged 'aircanada' and 'airplane'.

$result = $flickr->getTagSearchPhotos('','charlottetown,london','all',1,15);

This will return the most recent 15 photos tagged 'charlottetown' or 'london'.
