Re: ZenPhoto AJAX photo gallery
Well I had another go with the latest revision of Zenphoto and it’s working very nicely thank you. I still had the problem with the thumbnail page but that is because I have it set in the config to sixe thumbs to a specific longest side dimension. I didn’t fancy the idea of cropped thumbs. Anyway a quick addition of “height” to the appropriate div fixed it. It does seem very smooth and being able to edit on the fly is a nice bonus. I must admit that it took a while to bombsite the style and there is probably the odd bit of fiddling to do but if you want to see it in action…..

Re: ZenPhoto AJAX photo gallery
thebombsite, it looks nice. I didn’t realize that there was another release (0.9b) out. I’m working on integrating it into my site also (through themes only).
If anyone can figure out how to include it, though, (so that the header and footer are from TXP not hardcoded into the styles) that would be awesome.

It was pretty easy to install once you had spent 20 minutes working through the config.php and for those who had a problem logging in you do have to modify the .htaccess to match your rewriteBase. Having said that I still got errors relating to chmod so I ensured the appropriate folders were chmoded and commented-out the line that calls it. The biggest draw-back I found was that, if you have thumbs of different heights ie a mix of portrait and landscape, the thumbnail pages looked a mess as rows wouldn’t slide across properly. This could probably be cured in the CSS but by that time I couldn’t be bothered. It had lost it’s sparkle. These things should be easy enough to fix so I shall try it again when it’s been through a few revisions. In the mean time I shall stick with what I have which is neither an external application nor a plug-in.</blockquote>
Hmmm, I did toy with config.php and modified the rewrite base in .htaccess, still was unable to make it work on TXD, while it worked local… strange. Frankly, as I said it’s really more of an alpha to me. But yeah, worth following up….

Re: ZenPhoto AJAX photo gallery
Yes I think it could still be considered as Alpha though as I say, the latest version seemed to work a lot better than the first one I tried. I don’t know if your problems are TXD specific. Does seem strange. I had a quick look at your PixelPost suggestion, and as someone else said earlier, I would call that photoblog software rather than a simple album viewer. I think it’s the thumbnail pages that make the difference. I didn’t see any with PixelPost unless I missed something. Wouldn’t be the first time. ;)

Re: ZenPhoto AJAX photo gallery
Here is a sample gallery that I am working on for a client, if you’re trying to get a feel for what zenphoto can do. It probably took me about 15-20 minutes to get the whole thing set up, and that included ftp’ing the images. I just stuck with the default layout. I’m very interested in figuring out a way to get either zenphoto or the upcoming photostack integrated with textpattern…

Photostack has been released as a beta.

Yup…I’m helping on testing it out. It’s pretty cool, too. Just not quite as far along as zenphoto at this point.
