I was wondering if it is possible to fetch photos by album name (rather than numeric ID) and/or the text in a custom field. The $format tags seem to have what I need, but if I understand the user manual correctly, they're used in the options array, not the source parameters.
Is there a way to do what I want without hacking the code?
Thanks!

Not directly. Instead of hacking the code, I would recommend adding code to handle it on your page. You can use CpmFetch to get a list of albums, search that, then call the normal code with the number. At least for the album. There is no search in a custom field as of yet. You can now search the title and caption text though.
If you do opt to hack a search the custom fields, do it in the makesourcesql function and post a patch... maybe I will just merge it in (thats for the latter).
