It might come as a surprise to you guys that has written zenphoto. That not everybody is as good as you are with php.

Well, yes, we do relize this. What we are always supprized to be reminded, though, is how few people will actually search the forum for answers before asking questions. Or for that matter look at our roadmap.

These questions and many more have been discussed here before.

I have checked the forums and the site. And the common answer when asked about how to add adsense to a gallery. Is that you should add it directly in the theme. Thats really nice because as I said. Everybody is great with PHP. The least you guys could do is write a tutorial that would give some hints to were to put the code. Without messing up the whole gallery.

Same goes for the Facebook question. Yes there is a plugin. But that plugin is way to complicated to use. Facebook has an api you guys can use. I mean facebook is one of the most popular sites these days. And to be honest that zenphoto hasnt implemented this is a sure way to turn people away from using it. And I bet that it would take that long to implement it using the facebook api.

Ads: You don't need to know php to add ads like adsense. We cannot write a tutorial as where to put the ad code depends where you want it to appear and in what theme.
Facebook: There are third party plugins for sharing.

Sorry, I know it uncommon on the web but you can't have all for free. We are volunteers and no company. If you really badly need a feature you have several choices:
1. Do it yourself
2. Hire someone to do it for you.

I'd also like to add to Acrylian's post..

One of the main reasons I chose and love Zenphoto is that it's simple. It's not overly-bloated with ten-zillion features that you have to manage settings for before you can get your gallery setup. There are plugins available for many of the often requested features, created by members of the community like myself and others.

Also, the plugin system is a breeze to work with. If it's not available, it's not hard to get a plugin to do it, but as Acrylian said. That's gonna cost one of two things, your own time, or someone else's time (which usually requires money).

And, as far as the Facebook photo part goes, it's on my TODO list down the road, but time is almost never on my side.

Also, one question, what's complicated about the facebook plugin? Just curious as if you're referring to the zenFBSuite, it really is as simple as filling in some fields and putting the theme calls where you want them...

Ok so what you are saying is that if I want to have ads in the Sidebar. I just edit sidebar.php and just smack the ad code in there somewhere. if(function_exists('printCustomMenu') && getOption('zenpage_custommenu')) {
?>
<div class="menu">
<?php printCustomMenu('zenpage','list','',"menu-active","submenu","menu-active",2); ?>
</div>
<?php
} else {
if(function_exists("printAllNewsCategories")) { ?>
<div class="menu">
<h3><?php echo gettext("News articles"); ?></h3>
<?php

LIke right in the midle of this. This must be the right place to put it.
printAllNewsCategories(gettext("All news"),TRUE,"","menu-active",true,"submenu","menu-active");
?>

Nah of course not. Thats why you should write some hints to where to put the code. There are certain places you shall not put the code in. That goes for whatever them you use. Maybe you could tell those that write the themes. To add that in the php code. You know something like put the ad code here.

Ok, here is the tutorial:

If you want to add something to your WEB page follow these steps:

1. Locate the place where you want the item to appear.
2. Put the necessary HTML there.

If these steps are too complex for you, then hire someone to do it for you.

I wanted to put the ads in the footer. I downloaded the footer.php from my site. Edited in the code. And now it doesnt work. Why do you lie to me. You said that it would work.

sbillard

No, I said if this was too complex for you then hire someone to do it for you. Clearly it is too complicated for you.
