Create "Today's Photos" urls in vb header - make the links with the ?date=1182832136

[MediaHound]

As the title hints, I would like to put a link in my vB header similar to the "Daily Posts" link (search.php?do=getdaily) that we're all familiar with, only this link will be to view the "Daily Photos". I use the block to put the few most recent photos on the forum homepage, but I'd like to give the folks browsing the forums a quick-n-easy link to click to see all the current day's photos.
The gallery homepage has a calendar block that does this! So the software is all setup for it, I realize that. I just need the code to construct the URLS with whatever date format it's using. (Is it the php date, unix date, or what?)
For example, todays date is /gallery/showgallery.php?date=1182832136

So if I open my templates in vb, and go to edit my navbar, what should I slap in there to dynamically create the current date, like how the pp calendar is doing it?

I think this will make the site stickier and people will actually go in and start checking out all the daily photos, and doing more interactions there like commenting and rating photos, etc... and not just those photos that actually make it to the homepages. I think you know what I mean!

Thanks in advance!!!

Chuck is on vacation till July 5 (See announcement at top of PhotoPost Pro Forum)

Could you use the url link for Recent Photos 1 day 7 days 14 days All Images?

Yep that 1 day link worked to do basically what I wanted.
Thanks mjm.
It goes back 24 hours, not just that day's photos, but alas it'll work parallel to what I wanted using the daily links like the calendar produces.

Yes it would be a different kettle of fish to link to a calendar date.
You would also need to have a calendar they could select from, I don't think possible in a drop down menu.

Anyway glad you have a next best solution
