photography portfolio
After a few textpattern powered website for customers, finally decided to use textpatern’s power for our pro photo portfolio website. Portfolios seem something textpattern is really good at …
see dgbp.ch
It uses :
- zem_rewrite for beautiful URLs , had to hack it to work with MLP
- MLP multilinguage publishing package, eventhough we only published french language version yet, it’s good to have in base installation for further german and english versions.
- upm_image because that’s the way pictures should be handed in textpattern ;)
- rss_unlimited_categories , because it’s a great way to categorize works in a portfolio, made categories for authors, type of works, years, … for further devs of protfolio.
- some other minor plugins …
I was pleasantly surprised to see how the other plugins played almost seamlessly with MLP. Also tried to see a little further than actual website and allow for future features.
feedbacks welcome, and feel free to ask how I managed to get this and that to work together…

Re: photography portfolio
Great Work …
but I think that you should post different photos for thumbnail view … they seemed a bit blurred to me because they are actually big pictures and shown with smaller size one the main page.
But, may be it’s just me.
Keep up the good work !

Re: photography portfolio
Thanks for your feedbacks.
I’ aware of the thumbnail problem, but by now I preferred to have images scaled to the right size through CSS rather than creating thumbnails, since I may still change thumbs sizes slightly. This trick works fine, if I remember well, with Firefox and Safari based browsers, but Internet Explorer is a little rough in resampling the images. I know it adds wight to the page, but it’s a temporary tradeoff before I find or write a satisfactory thumbnail solution. (Any good plugins ?).
Kudos to Sam for welovetxp.com, one of the feeds I enjoy reading.
