Photo Gallery Sample Flickr Account

[Gagan]

I was messing around with the photo gallery sample and was wondering if theres a way i can load up the photos on my flickr account?

Hi Gagan,

By design the application shows public pictures from different accounts with different tags.

You can freely use the source code and modify it according to your requirements though.

Where in the source code is it accessing the different accounts? I'd like to change it and test it out.

Hello Gagan,

You need to take a look at the FlickrServiceProvider class in the ServiceProviders folder.

I couldn't find much to change in the FlickrServiceProvider file.
But I made the MainPage load up the AuthorPage at startup. And i replaced this.Author.Id with my author id.

this.photoView.DataContext = App.Instance.CurrentImageServiceProvider.CreateAuthorPhotoList(this.Author.Id);
this.galleriesView.DataContext = App.Instance.CurrentImageServiceProvider.CreateGalleryList(this.Author.Id);

I also made the following modifications to the OnTapped methods

private void OnGalleryTapped(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    App.Instance.SetCurrentViewModel<GalleryViewModel>(sender as GalleryViewModel);
    //this.NavigationService.Navigate(App.GalleryPage);

    var frame = App.Current.RootVisual as PhoneApplicationFrame;
    frame.Navigate(App.GalleryPage);
}

private void OnPhotoTapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PhotoListViewModel photoList = this.photoView.DataContext as PhotoListViewModel;
    photoList.Photos.Apply<PhotoViewModel>((photo) => photo.Author = this.Author);
    App.Instance.SetCurrentViewModel<PhotoListViewModel>(photoList);
    //this.NavigationService.Navigate(App.PhotoPage);

    var frame = App.Current.RootVisual as PhoneApplicationFrame;
    frame.Navigate(App.PhotoPage);
}

It displays the picture successfully.
However, its not displaying the photo count, authors picture or authors name.
it only displays them when i search for the authors name or when i click the picture.

I dont know what else to change.

Hi Gagan,
Could you please send us a sample project showing clearly what you're trying to achieve. This way we will be able to assist you better. Please make sure that the FlickR API is not developed and maintained by us so it might take us longer to provide you with a proper answer.
