(Untitled)

Hello All.

First, thanks for making zenphoto. It was really easy to install, and works great!

I would like to add a graphic header to my gallery, and I was wondering where to place the code. This would be a global header for all page views, and right now I'm using the basic default theme, which complements my site very nicely without requiring any other editing.

I am curious as well, though... I read something about a "Theme Engine" on the zenphoto home page... is this a feature that I haven't discovered yet, or is that referring to the edit options feature?

Finally, I'd just like to mention that I, too, would like to be able to select the area of a pic that will be used as the thumbnail. Obviously, this would vary from picture to picture, although the default 85x85 size seems perfect. So I just thought I'd mention that there's yet another vote for that feature...

Thanks again for a wonderful product!

  • There is no one place to put a graphic so that it will show on all pages. In general the themes have the following files:

    index.php--the initial page that is viewed when someone types in your site url. This is sometimes known as the gallery page.

    album.php--the page that is linked to from any album thumbnail (such as the ones on the index page)

    image.php--the page which displays a large sized image. Linked to by the image thumbnails on the album page.

    search.php--the page which displays the result of a search.

    archive.php--a page which shows images by date and tag.

    Not all themes have the latter two pages.

    You will have to put your custom graphic in each of these pages. Where you put it depends on what result you desire, but typically it would be in the same area as the Album title. You can look at the Effervescence+ theme for an example. It puts a random image at the top of each page. look for the comment `

    We already have a request for defining the area used for thumbnails. It is ticket #274 ( http://www.zenphoto.org/trac/ticket/274 ) in the trac.

    Generally speaking, putting tickets in trac is the best way to record a new feature request.
