Mapping of geocoded photos - entire album / gallery

in Themes
Hi - I've just been using zenphoto for the first time, having realised it can do far more than my diy atempt! Various themes allow me to see the location of an image on google maps if it is geocoded, but I am wondering if someone has already written a theme that does some or all of the following:

Allow you to see locations of all geocoded photos in the album or entire gallery on a map

Allow you to see the locations of an image in slideshow view...

Cheers,

Ben

    There is a function to show all locations from an album. Probably the example theme does that (or maybe the default theme)

    There is not a way to show the locations on the slideshow. That would probably be very difficult since we are using available Java Script slideshow tools. A special Java Script would need to be created to show also the locations.

    Thanks - I have managed to get a google maps window to display when using either the example or default themes. When I go to an album with geocoded images however, only the first image in the album is marked on the map. However, if I click on a specific image, I am able to see the position of that image pn the page that loads... I wonder if I have missed a check-box somehwere...I'll got an have a look :-)

    You should be getting points for all the images in the album which have them. Can you post a url to the album?

    aha - I think I have (partially) found the problem! The directory structure I was using consisted of a directory containing full-res images, and also one containing thumbs (legacy from an old album). This thumbs directory was being loaded as a sub-album, and seems to have been causing the google maps extension problems. Removing this folder brought the markers back to the map.

    However, I am still only seeing on the map those photos on the current page of the album, rather than the album as a whole. For example:

    http://bbarker.co.uk/zenphoto/Offas_Dyke_Cycle/

    All images are coded, but different markers appear for each album page. I was looking the the db tables - I see the the exif data for each image read into a table. That would (perhaps does) presumably allow for really advanced searching - so far I have only found the search box at the top of the window, but I'm still exploring. I was trying to see whether it would be possible to run a query on the db for all coded images in all images in the gallery and show them on a map, or all coded images before a certain date etc (select lat,lon from thistable where lat is not null and date > somedate...etc)

    Very cool whatever the answer,

    Yes, only the points for the images shown as thumbs are shown on the album page.

    At present the search function does not include any EXIF fields, but that could be added. Search by date currently only searches for images in a particular month.

    Certainly you can create custom Database Queries. Then, of course, you can query for anything in the database.
