Simple + not working. I am using ZP through Dreamhost

Just wondering why my images all of a sudden became available for download when ZP updated recently. The theme I have, Simple+ is not working properly (no lightbox anymore) and I am confused as to what I should do.

I tried changing the settings to disable downloading, but whenever I clicked save, the screen would reload and nothing would change. I tried refreshing the database, and got an error message saying

Zenphoto Error
MySQL Query ( SELECT DISTINCT `objectid` FROM `zp_931909532609524_obj_to_tag`WHERE `type`="images" ) Failed. Error:Table 'photos_ericvelarde_com_2.zp_931909532609524_obj_to_tag' doesn't exist

Can someone please help? I am at a loss.

I use Dreamhost and installed ZP via a one-click-install

    I think that the Dreamhost one-click install has not been updated to the new Zenphoto version. Apparently it is not creating the database tables. You can install the new version yourself--others on Dreamhost have done so. But you should also contact Dreamhost support and inform them that their install is not working with the new version.

    I JUST logged into Dreamhost and in fact, they neglect to show version number for their one-click install. Am going to email support as this isn't good.

    EricVelarde - with ZP install being as easy as it is, unlike some of the other offers by Dreamhost, consider doing the install yourself! Then you can update as often as you wish with the builds. Dreamhost will only offer major updates probably as they don't always keep current.

    Notify support of your problem. Dreamhost is great for tech support, in my opinion.

    Another Dreamhost user here, and I've installed ZenPhoto myself several times, before they ever offered it as a one-click install. Seriously, it's not hard at all. Create a MySQL database (under the "Goodies" section of the menu in the web panel), then just FTP the files to where you want them and follow the installation instructions. It may be more than one click, but you can still be up and running in ten minutes or less.

    thanks y'all!

    I actually just hired a web designer to revamp my site for me!

    We're still having issues getting the slimbox to work...any suggestions?

    The creator of the Simple + theme said he's not dishing out a new version anytime soon...but isn't it possible to edit the them and put lightbox, thickbox, or whatever into it?

    Open your album.php located in your theme folder
    Replace the head section of the file with this code `



    <?php zenJavascript(); ?>

    <?php echo $conf['website_title']; ?> | Album: <?php printAlbumTitle(); ?>

    /css/zen.css" type="text/css" />

    /css/slimbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    /js/mootools.js">

    /js/slimbox.js">

    /js/reflection.js">

    <?php printRSSHeaderLink('Album',getAlbumTitle()); ?>

    `

    It will activate lightbox, and you will have RSS feed for each album
