Slideshow Problem with Zenphoto 1.0.8.2

I just upgraded my gallery (www.arthedains.com/portfolio) to the latest Zenphoto. Everything seems to be working fine except for the slide show function. It only works if I turn modrewrite option off in zpconfig. It used to work fine in 1.0.7 with modrewrite turned on. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Do I need change/add something somewhere? Thanks.

    @anil-

    I assume you grabbed the slideshow from the thinkdreams theme, and moved it into the stopdesign theme right?

    That slideshow hasn't been tested on versions past 1.0.6 (I've never gotten around to it) so it may not work with the newer htaccess in versions above 1.0.6 as some things were changed in there.

    I'm going to guess it's just something in the htaccess file that needs to be updated for the slideshow choice to work.

    If I have some time, I'll take a look.

    Thanks for the reply. Yup, that is what I did more or less albeit with a few tweaks. Hmm...I guess what you say makes sense. I did take a look at the htaccess file but since I know jack about such stuff I could not see what needs to be added.

    Thanks a lot...I'll be looking forward to it!

    I believe we supplied a modified htaccess with the original Thinkdreams theme. Take a look at that for starters. If you don't see it in there, let me know and I try to dig it up from my older archives.

    Umm...I checked and no I could not find it. Could you check and see if you can dig it up? Thanks.

    I found another problem too. In the read me file with the original release of Thinkdreams it is mentioned that Line 47 in the template-functions.php file needs to be modified to the following:
    `if (isset($zpitems[1]) && $zpitems[1] != 'slideshow')`

    However, I can no longer find the line that needs to be modified. Do you think this could be one reason for the problem I'm having?

    Anil-

    That might be it. I remember having to make some mods to the template-functions.php. I'm not sure what needs to be modded in the newer versions to make it work properly.

    You might check out cimi's theme, and see how he does it. Might be a better way to implement it.

    Took a look at cimi's theme. It is a nice implementation but I don't know if I'll be able to adapt it for my gallery or not. Will give it a try when I find some time.

    In any case as the only things I'm missing right now by turning off modrewrite are clean urls I think I'll live with the lack of this functionality for now. Or maybe I'll even go back one version.

    Thanks for all your help and pointers. In case you do come across a solution please do let me know.
