ZenPhoto + Galleria = awesome

tomc

I'm going to give it a shot, but I'm going to start from scratch. If I get Galleria working I'll just post instructions on how to stick it a theme.

i'm having a bit of troubles with this theme when it comes to creating a new album in 1.2 I have a post up already about this, but i figure i'll add here aswell. i'll just c&p the post

"i'm a little stumped. i updated zenphoto to 1.2, i create an album, visit that album, but the theme comes out really strange. seems to work on the provided themes (i'm using galleria, which i don't really see as being the problem) but has this happened to anyone else?

this is the album i'm having problems with http://petermorawski.com/portfolio/portrait/
but this one seems to be working fine http://petermorawski.com/portfolio/nature

:S"

tomc

OK, I'm going to try to get this working today using 1.2.

tomc

I have it working, but I need to write some PHP code to handle sub-albums first because I want that type of page to have a different style.

tomc

OK, finished implementing it:

I didn't do the jcarousel bit. If anyone is interested leave a comment on my blog and I'll post something here or make available for download.

@tomc

Have you managed to get Google maps working with the theme?

tomc

Hi olihar,

That is actually my next step, I have some geotagged photos now and working on going back and tagging my old ones. I'm trying to decide how I'm going to present it. I *think* I would like to have a link to a pop-out window with all the photos from the current page with markers on a google maps topo. Not sure of that yet. Any suggestions on how you'd like to see it? Also an example site if you have one.

I probably won't get working on this until later this week.

Hi tomc,
beautiful gallery and beautiful theme!!! Any chance you could share the source code, please?

Cheers,
Reda

tomc

@olihar - haven't gotten to the google maps stuff yet. I'm sure it will work though.

@Reda - how proficient are you with html/css? Right now some of it is hardcoded, like the links on the top menu bar. Also the homepage and blog are on wordpress, I made the themes match. I'd like to do more work on it before I make it publicly available, but if you can edit it to meet your needs without any support than I'll give it to you.

Hi AlexWilson, great looking site. I am currently modifying the default theme but can not work out how to add one random image from a gallery to the index page. Can you help? I notice that is what you have done. Thanks.

Reda

@tomc. Thanks for the offer. In end I deciced to keep my current theme and actually upload my pictures to Flickr instead of my host (just because I've got gigs and gics of them and I don't like my hosting service that much ;-)

Thanks for the offer... Anyway, your pics are awesome!

Could someone please assist a poor clueless PHP newbie? I would like something similar to the Galleria demo as seen here: http://devkick.com/lab/galleria/demo_02.htm but I really have no idea how to do this in zenphoto. I understand how to implement the script standalone(without Zenphoto) but I really want to use it with Zenphoto, for the ease of updating and other things.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

olihar

@tomc - Have you been working on the theme at all lately?

Hi -

I've just completed work on a theme that uses galleria and jQuery tabs. It owes a debt to Alex Wilson's theme, although it has a number of new features.

Live: http://www.charliecampbell.co.uk

One question I have is that in the history menu of Firefox I just see '1' for each photo visited in any album, and I notice that my URL is different from Alex Wilson's in that mine has /1 (i.e. page 1) after the album name. Any idea what I should do differently?

Thanks

eric2009

wow, that looks great, is there any url where we could download this theme?

acrylian

Since that site was done for a client I suppose there will surely be no download of it.

amucklow

I would offer a download but I'm not sure my client would be too keen!

That said, I'm happy to offer code snippets if there's a particular feature you'd like to replicate.

In particular, I'd like to see if I could improve on the way I use the loading graphic to display while the images load. At present I've done it like this:

`
$(_img).load(function() {
$('#mainframe').removeClass('loading');
$('#thumbs').removeClass('loading');
$('#main_image_wrapper').show();
});
`
But ideally it should be better integrated into the other loading events in the galleria script? My jQuery is a bit patchy unfortunately.

iondarie

hello, can anyone please tell me what can i do so that the the pictures will be resized automatically to fit a frame ?

amucklow

Per my earlier question about `/page/1` being added to the URL. The `getAlbumLink()` function automatically adds this, but it can be removed by commenting out part of the function like so:

`
function getAlbumLink() {
global $_zp_page;

$rewrite = pathurlencode($this->name) . '/';
$plain = '/index.php?album=' . urlencode($this->name). '/';
// the following section is commented out to prevent the addition of /page/1 in URLs
/* if ($_zp_page) {
$rewrite .= "page/$_zp_page";
$plain .= "&page=$_zp_page";
} */
return rewrite_path($rewrite, $plain);
}
`
Note this is only for use with a Galleria-style theme where additional paging is not required.

Anyone having issues with jcarousel after upgrading to jQuery 1.3.x?

acrylian

Just to note Zenphoto still ships with jQuery 1.2.6 for compatibility reasons with some admin stuff.

hid4msk

where i can download actually version of this (galleria for zenphoto) theme? i use zenphoto 1.2.6

acrylian

Since it is not listed on our themes page there is probably none.

I dont know where you are now Alex but I love you. (ZP, I you too)
Too bad this isnt being worked on anymore for everyone else in order to be an official theme cause its exactly the type of thing I was looking for.

I was able to integrate it with my website
http://teamganzi.com/Graphics/david.shtml

Its still in the rough stages but now I can have every user upload their own photos to be displayed in the gallery (Rather than me do all the work).
If only I could get the comments/descriptions up but that sounds like a lot of work.
I'm an "old schooler" who knows nothing about PHP, just some HTML.

micheall

Shouldn't be too hard if you take a look.

Remove everything from
`<?php if (getOption('Allow_comments')) { ?>`

to the second
`<?php } ?>`

And replace with:
`
<?php
if (function_exists('printCommentForm')) {
printCommentForm();
}
?>
`
Just a cursory look through the code that is. You'll want to make sure I didn't overshoot/undershoot on the comment code itself.

VNlilMAN

I tried that but it didnt work. From what i've read, its because this theme doesnt use image.php
just album.php

totemx

What do i have to edit in order to see picture not in their real size but resized into prefixed window?

pekkal

I've been working on this for many long nights and made some progress.. but now I think I've hit the wall. 2 major issues, is it even possible to get printImageDesc() working (and to remove the "caption" for example: 5:DSC_5115.jpg) and getting commenting working?

Have you guys been working around galleria? I tried zpGalleriffic before this one but it also had some major problems
