Implementing Image Search By Date
« on: December 04, 2008, 04:16:08 PM »
Hi,

I was surprised to find that the advanced image search does not include a search for images by date.

When editing image properties in the Admin Control Panel, I can see that the date form field is called "image_date". The search form template makes references to fields such as {search_keywords}. Is adding a date search as simple as adding a new field for {search_date} to the template or is there some more programming involved somewhere?

Thanks, this is almost the mod I'm looking for. The only issue is that it expects a keyword (or at least the number of keyword characters) before a search will work. I want to be able to return all images (keywords or not) between a set date range.
