First off: i like this Zenphoto very much. I had some trouble installing it (i'm a total newbie and changed the line in .htaccess the wrong way... took some forum looking to find out the way it was ment to be changed.) Yes it works! Yes mu host uses safe mode and php5!
But now my problem: i use the default photobook. I've uploaded some directories with photo's by use of a trd party ftp client. This shouldn't matter i guess.
When i open the photobook i see the different photobooks i've uploaded without a picture (instead you see a little red cross and the name of the photobook (the directory i've uploaded). When i open a photobook i see the first photo but the rest don't get loaded and you see the litte red crosses again.
Clicking on a redcross opens a larger box with again a red cross. Going to the next picture (also red cross) and than back the photo suddenly does appear!
How can i get rid of the red crosses???
Also... is it possible to add a picture in the top of the page of the photobook? Thus changing the theme?
Many thanks!!!

2 things. try disabling mod-rewrite if it works then it is your .htaccess problem..
secondly, if you can give us a link. we can more easily troubleshoot this for you.
I've asked my host and he assures me they support mod-rewrite. My .htaccess file should be allright... that took me some time though.
Many thanks for you're trouble!!
I hope you can help me more
From what I can see here everything seems to working with the exception of a few albums. What version of zenphoto are you using?
As to your other question, you can insert a picture into the theme fairly easily. I would suggest reading over this link http://www.infobulles.ch/syndication/ZenPhoto_Gallery/2006/09/15/How_to_Make_a_ZenPhoto_Theme__updated_ to sort of give you an idea of how theming works in general, and then you can modify the theme you're using (which looks like the default theme) from there.
I use version 1.0.8.2. The other pictures have been looked at and after that the red cross disappears...
The refresh link (i guessed you mean the link where it says how many photo's and albums are in Zenphoto) did not have the desired effect. It actually reset the counter to the appropiate number of pictures and albums...
SVN code is the subversion repository. It is a repository of development code, not necessarily stable. SVN allows you to "check-out" code from the development branch of the core code, which in effect is the "cutting edge" code that is being worked on. In fast paced development, this code can sometimes change quite frequently, and SVN allows a method to have a complete up-to-date version of the development.
For zenphoto, this means you can download the latest development code as it stands now, which is version 441.
The SVN repository is at http://www.zenphoto.org/svn, and you can look at a number of clients (for Windows, TortoiseSVN) to get started getting the latest code.
If you have trouble (or if you don't want to bother trying the SVN client), let me know and I can always create you a export .zip file of the SVN that you can grab if you want to try the dev code.
So i really like to try the SVN !
I'm not sure where to begin so i'm in for the zip file offer!! Where can i grab it?
Many thanks!

Could it be that this only happens when you place the photo's by a trd party ftp? Perhaps i'm doing it wrong... i'm just uploading the pictures... no thumbnails or what... just the pictures. Should i make thumbnails or is that something done by Zenphoto itself?
I'm at a loss....
It's the old problem with the not created thumbnails in cache. The cause of this would lies in the slow server of the host and/or the large sized pictures.
I've used the code provided in this forum and put in a new php file "rebuild.php". This file saved under the /zenphoto directory and ran it. All my thumbnails where created and no more red crosses appeared.
I really think that this is a great extra to build in the admin page (version 1.9.1 ?) for those of us who have the bad luck of having a 'slow' host.
Many thanks for the great help... you did set me on the right track!

the script is in this thread: http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=1169
I also have this problem in just some albums (most of them works good). The script didn't work for me. As scoobie2002 said, i also saw is that for some reason, the getSizedImage() does not create the cache thumbs (and thus, the image.php shows with the red cross).
