Newbie Questions

Love Zenphoto, a couple of questions from a novice.

1) Can I change the description on the main page? See www.thejohnsonabode.com. (I have a different theme installed on www.sbjka.com.) I seem to recall putting a rudimentary description in the install files, but I was wondering if it could be changed now after installation.

2) Is there a way to have the installation under a directory that is not "zenphoto"? Like just plain "gallery"?

3) I've seen a thread on a patch for video (zenvideo). Seems cool. Looks like I have to convert files from mpeg to flash video? Any recommendations on converters.

Thanks for the help.

    No problem! We love to help around here. (Well, I do anyway)

    1) In that theme, it's actually located in the file at `/themes/stoppeddesign/index.php` -- you have to edit the file around line 38, where it reads:

    `

    Description

    Photo Gallery

    `

    2) Yep! Just change the directory name and update the path in `.htaccess`

    3) I'm not sure, I've never actually tested it out on my own. I'm also interested in that though, as I'm going to be using ZP for a video club's site, and they'll want videos! Anyone have any ideas?
  • Thanks trisweb,

    One more thing (right...),

    On the gallery page there are 5 albums previewed, 3 on top, 2 on the bottom. Looks like there is supposed to be a 6th in the second row there. Is there a entry somewhere to allow 6 albums to be previewed?

    You can correct this in the zp-config file. At about line 98, look for:

    `// Paging options:

    // Control of their display is done in the theme, so you might need to change these

    // after switching themes to make it look better.

    $conf['albums_per_page'] = 5;

    $conf['images_per_page'] = 15;`

    That is what controls what you see. You can just change 5 to 6 and that should correct what you want.

    Good. Another question to add to the FAQ.

    :)
  • Thanks again trisweb,

    Man, I love this album software. I spent several hours reviewing one or the other. They were all either too blown out with options, or just plain no good. This one's really nice.

    I'll have to poke around some more to see if I can figure out the video stuff.
