Hi Guisante! Hope I can help you with this... Ok so the URL you are using above will display all your Flickr photos. I don't know about displaying certain galleries but you can filter by tags by adding &tags=xxx ... just not sure exactly where- you will need to have a play around with the URL to see what works. http://www.buzztouch.com/docs/v1.5/v1.5-imageGalleryData.pdf

Ok. I am not sure quite what you mean but... I have an app that displays a gallery from Flickr. The images are added to the gallery by users using the Buzztouch email uploader function. It is here if you want to have a look (it's free) http://itunes.apple.com/app/id515246697 The gallery is displayed in the way you described above then when users add images the email uploader sends the email to the Flickr email address that can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/account/uploadbyemail/ The Subject of the email becomes the photo title and and text added in the email body becomes the photo description. Works great. Is this what you meant?

Thanks! very clear!!! The first step it´s email uploader function and it´s ok in my BT app. The next step is to share this specific gallery (or album) but no the complet gallery. Maybe i can have different emails in flickr and for each app to assign an email and an album?

I think you can only have 1 email address per Flickr account but you can add different tags to photos that are submitted by email by adding "tags:" into the subject line of the email: http://www.flickr.com/help/photos/#140

Sepala, that is an interesting app. How do you solve abuse with people uploading inappropriate images, or hasn't that been a problem? I assume the uploaded image is only referenced in the app on the photos/photos page, and not somehow linked to the properties section? If they are, does the app pick up your location somehow and connect it to your uploaded pic?

Hi Basement To moderate it I just have to keep an eye on it to make sure nothing inappropriate is posted up there! I wanted to link the photos to a map but have not been able to figure that out yet. I know that it is possible as Flickr saves the GeoLocation data for photos taken with an iPhone and can then provide a GeoRSS feed, and I used this on a previous app. For the first app I made I used AppMakr, which is vastly inferior to Buzztouch in every way except that it does offer this feature! Have a look- http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/pepys-london/id477750374?mt=8 Basically when an image is emailed it goes to your AppMakr control panel along with any text and the Location data which you add to your flickr account. Then the app has a GeoRSS feed reader which displays the Flickr photos and a map with them all plotted on it. That feature is pretty cool but the rest of AppMaker is very basic. Also you don't ever get your hands on the source code so I don't know how the GeoRSS reader works!

Hello, im trying to get an image gallery working good, im on self hosted using 2.0 (android) The gallery doesnt show anything about users uploading an image, or anything to save an image. And the gallery looks really sloppy, the pictures move when you try to swipe to the next picture.
