Want to help out with development?
I've recently done a lot of development and need some people to test the current SVN code. If you're interested, go ahead and check out a copy and install it wherever you can.
Changes include:
- mod_rewrite for sub albums (if using the sub-albums theme)
- Faster (direct) image loading for cached images
- A LOT of code changes, refactoring, moving things around...
To check it out, do `svn export
http://www.zenphoto.org/svn/trunk` at a command line where you have svn installed, or through TortoiseSVN or whatever you like. Installation/upgrade is as normal. No need to run upgrade.php from 1.0.7.
I don't recommend you use this for a production gallery yet, but I'm running it on
http://www.trisweb.com/photos and it seems to be working fine.

I did manually get the files and am using them, although I am not using the new testing theme.
I left the mod-rewrite on so you could see it.
Let me know if there is stuff I can try for you. I have a good backup.
So you know, it's SVN rev 345, with the modified Effervescence theme being used. I wanted to test out the theme and really see if I could break it.
It's probably not your theme; as long as it's forming its image URLs properly then it's most likely a problem in i.php.
Some images do not show even though their thumbs are:
removed
This image is in a subalbum
On a side note, the reason some of your images still show up is because Zenphoto now skips i.php completely if there's a pre-cached file, avoiding the costly and redundant double-request to the server for each image. It still checks file modification times and such to see if updates are needed.

Wasn't sure to what extent you wanted admin interface suggestions/observations since subalbum options didn't appear to be implemented in the build I exported, so here's what (little) I noticed outside of that:
- Album descriptions for thin images (i'm guessing less than 50% width) appear to the right of the image instead of underneath in the default sub-albums theme. Probably a quick fix with a div or p/br.
- I had an initial blip (I didn't have perms set correctly for the cache dir) where when I drill down to a single image, the "next" link points to the parent album (w/o pagination) and there is no "previous" link visible. It's the same regardless if the image is the first, second, or last in the set. Blip though, because I can't seem to recreate the problem with subsequent albums and all manner of permissions-changing directory-moving futzing that I could think of, but I thought i'd mention it in case anyone else comes across the same issue.
Outside of those two issues, everything seems to be working very smoothly
No worries. None of my galleries are production quality, so if they are missing some images, that's ok. remember that if I turn off mod_rewrite, everything works OK, so i'll stay with rev 348 until you update. Besides, it'll give me chance to try the next rev of SVN when you have it done.
Just place `?debug` or (`&debug` if there are already query variables) after the i.php (or mod_rewritten i.php) requested image path like so:
`http://www.bushwoodworking.com/zenphoto/zen/i.php?a=homeimprovements/cornerroom&i=home_frontelev.jpg&w=180&cw=180&ch=80&debug`
Once craig updates, we should see some useful debug information there, or an image if it starts working.
I get worse results this time with images, but hey, we're testing, right?
`Zenphoto error: Image not found!
Cache: [ /cache/zen/i.php_w180_cw180_ch80.jpg ]
Image: [ zen/i.php ]`
With the image you pointed to above after upgrading.
Looks like it's specific to mod_rewrite and caching of thumbnails but what is causing it I have no idea. (I know I'm pointing out the obvious here...)
Mod_rewrite is currently on.
`Zenphoto error: Image not found!
Cache: [ /cache/zen/i.php_w190_cw120_ch85.jpg ]
Image: [ zen/i.php ]`
(as long as you don't cache that image, you can see it here)
Looks like the way I'm trying to fix the album path for mod_rewrite bugs (essentially, getting the mod_rewrite URL string and manually extracting the album and image) isn't working as I expected. I'll be releasing more versions for you guys to test in the very near future...
Also, for those of you interested in some thumbnail sharpening, add the following line to your zp-config.php:
`$conf['thumb_sharpen'] = true;`
:-)
I believe the previous issues I mentioned in regards to the previous/next entries getting a bit fubar'd are the same as this issue. In my case I was changing around and renaming albums and files, but the garbage collection doesn't seem to be finding the orphaned entries (or maybe i'm misunderstanding what it should do?). For example, if I completely clear out the albums and cache subdirs and click on the admin refresh option, it's currently showing it has 107 images in 9 albums. The quick fix for me seemed to be to manually drop and recreate the database.
Speaking of which, setup.php fails for me when trying to create tables on a fresh db, failing with the error below. In the interim i've been using ZP 1.0.7 to create them. I replaced the backticks in the error message with "+":
`Creating tables...
MySQL Query ( CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ++albums++ ( +id+ int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, +parentid+ int(11) unsigned default NULL, +folder+ varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', +title+ varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', +desc+ text, +date+ datetime default NULL, +place+ varchar(255) default NULL, +show+ int(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '1', +thumb+ varchar(255) default NULL, +sort_type+ varchar(20) default NULL, +sort_order+ int(11) unsigned default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (+id+), KEY +folder+ (+folder+) ); ) Failed. Error: Incorrect table name ''`
Two other things I noticed and weren't sure if they were working as intended or not:
-If you remove theme.txt from the cache dir, zp loses its current theme and reverts to the default one instead of recreating the theme.txt file.
-Photos in the albums dir that aren't otherwise in an album of their own don't show up when viewing the main zp page.
Sorry for long-winded posts
the subfolder work in view mode with no error, but i'm not able to sort or edit subfolder.
Continue your good work. I'm a futur user, i only need to be able to use subfolder to change to your album. Very nice, simple et good looking. Exactly what i need!
Thx a lot

if you mean you're needing to sort subalbums, which I'm assuming you are, then that feature is coming in a future release soon. currently there is no interface in the admin for sorting and manipulating subalbums. you can still utilize FTP to rearrange albums and such, but you won't be able to "sort" images until the admin has the facility in place for it.
Thx
It looks like v1.1 is the target for that functionality.
