Lots of Questions

1. Is there anywhere in the forums to change this god-awful password that I am stuck with? LOL

2. I have finally settled on the default theme, after looking at some great looking dark themes that are for download here. There reason that I gave up most of the user themes was 1) they didn't include the RSS and other information and 2) no matter how you configure themes, it still won't read the number of images on a page. Most user themes will default to needing a scroll down to see all pictures, which I don't want. But they are very pretty anyway. So... my question here is, in the default theme, where does a viewer click to return to the main site? I see no way for a users to leave the albums and return to the site itself. I must be overlooking something because it's hard to believe it isn't there. I am no coder so I cannot create this myself.

3. I read a lot here about getting the images to sort in the order selected. It's pretty convoluted to go here and here and here to get it all to sort the way you want, but I figured it out. Now, how do you get the themes to behave with the alignment of images per page? Even the default won't do what I ask. I want 15 pictures and it shows 18.

I have tried some ultimately more detailed software scripts for image galleries, but I think this is a very nice script. It's neat, doesn't have a zillion bells and whistles, which I like and I especially love the bulk upload. It will be uploading many 1000's as time goes on, but for now it's about 250 images each album. I hope to stay with this script. I just wish it was a little better behaved. I just installed the 9-13 nightly build.

Thanks to the author, I hope you have some ideas on the images per page in the default theme, but especially am looking for the link back to the main site entrance or ANY link that I wish for the viewer to escape from the gallery.

    Sorry, I couldn't find a way to edit my message, but I did find where I could change my password.
    Thanks.

    2. All of the themes on our theme page are third party themes except the 4 included standard theme. If their original authors don't update them, we don't either. We don't have the time for that.

    You mean a link back to your main site you use Zenphoto as a gallery for. You can add that link yourself. Either as a standard html link or with this function whose setting can be done on the admin options:

    http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/functions/_template-functions.php.html#functionprintHomeLink

    It is not that hard to do that. The same goes for the rss links. I am sorry, without some knowledge of at least html and css you won't be able to customize to your needs. We have theming tutorial on our user guide section to get familiar with themes you might consider to read.

    My apologies. I found the area that I had totally overlooked, where I entered the information about the link back to the main site url. I feel rather stupid about that. I think I was going around in circles with the image sort that I went too hastily over that page - seeing it didn't contain what I was looking for at the time.

    Now it seems the only issue that I have with this script is the ability to control the number of images per page. I am using the default theme, dark. I don't believe that is third party.

    Now under OPTIONS, THEME OPTIONS, IMAGES PER PAGE = 15, the first page of the album still and always shows 18. It doesn't seem to matter what number I put in there, it is always 3 rows of 6 images. Should I be looking somewhere else for this or can I alter a php file somewhere?

    Oh... and just for your info, the template_function file you sent the link to, shows that information on line 739, and I believe it's closer to 819.

    All of the distributed themes conspire to have the display page look balanced by insuring that the number of images per page is rounded up to a multiple of the number of images that fit on a single row.
