ZenPress: Zenphoto plugin for WordPress

3dkiller

Ok, I solved my first problem. It turned out my ExtractNow 3.60 was not uncompressing your .zip file correctly and I was missing the zenpress.php file.

So I have been able to 'activate' the plugin, but now I have another problem. No icon in the editor.

I setup options to point to this directory:
http://www.storylinker.com/zenphoto/albums
and
http://www.storylinker.com/zenphoto/albums/

Still no go. Any thoughts?

Simbul

The Zenphoto base path is an actual filesystem path, something like /var/www/domain/photos.
Try adding "http://" in front of your web path (http://subdomain.mysite.com) and see if the autocompletion works. Otherwise you'll have to find out the actual path on your webserver.

Yeah, that field in the config was pretty confusing Simbul. Perhaps you could give an example next to it for the final version?

Simbul

Yes, I'll definitely try to make more clear what that config option means.

Sinbul,

Ok, we are going places. I got the icon! However, when I click on it I get an empty window, with no options, just blank.

Ideas? ...and thanks for helping me with this. I feel like an absolute idiot. I can't believe how difficult this has been.

Sinbul,

Fixed. It turns out you can't use /zenphoto/ as a directory. You have to use something else. I chose "media".

http://www.storylinker.com/media/

Oh, yes, if I remember correctly that is an issue of zenphoto when mod_rewrite is enabled: you can't use any name containing the word "zen".
Had the same problem myself, having called the directory "zen". :P

doh! there went 3 hrs of my life!

Woah woah, that problem should be gone with 1.0.2, right? I'll take a look at the rewrite rules, but that shouldn't be a problem, seriously...

Swivel

Sorry I should've added the http:// in my post

But I added the full path manually and all is now working so cheers, I love it thank you...

kientran

I'm not seeing a button, and I've tried all the suggestions listed here. I can activate it without a problem.

zenphoto 1.0.2
wordpress 2.0.2
zenpress 0.9.4

paths are correct, and i changed it over to /photos instead of /zenphoto.

kientran

It works now...I had to force clear out firefox's cache for it to display.

Just released version 1.0

i'm using wp with rich TinyMCE (via Editor Monkey), thus i'm not seeing any button on the toolbar. Does anybody have any idea of how to add it?
BTW nice job, Alessandro!

Simbul

I'm not sure ZenPress is compatible with the latest version of TinyMCE (which is not the default version in WP). I'll have to try Editor Monkey but right now the websites seems unreachable.

Anyway, I don't really expect this to work, but did you try flushing your browser's cache?

Just downloaded the the new version and tried it out. Works Great! Thanks for the pop-up options.

Keep up the good work...Cheers!

detayls

I too installed 1.00 but cannot figure out what the popup options do. Is there any documentation for this wonderful plugin?

dwainetrain

It's just the options for the zenpress dialog. It's how the images are displayed in the popup. Pretty neat for finding what your looking for.

detayls

Oh, I get it. That is very useful. I thought it affected the result somehow in the web page.

Hi everybody,

I also have a blank window when I push on the zenpress icon.
I don't know if it's the problem but I'm not able to configure zenpress in the wordpress options : No problem for the zen photo base path, but when I set zen photo admin path I always receive "Warning! The admin path you entered does not exist on the filesystem!".
I Installed easyphp to let him calculate and correct the adress, but nothing is changing.
If it's possible, I prefer working directly on the webserver.

What's my problem ?
Thanks for help.

Zenpres 1.0
WordPress 2.0
ZenPhoto 1.0.2 (working perfectly when direct use)

Hi,

I get an error message in the ZP TinyMCE popup window:
Undefined variable: rel_path
in \webroot\__wp202\wp-includes\js\tinymce\plugins\zenpress\popup_zp.php on line 36

But the thumbs and 'the rest' do work like a charm. So the path may be correct.

Should I comment out line number 36? Should I include it within conditional tags?

If nobody else with PHP errors on (for debug reasons) can see it, it may be some missconfiguration I've done. But I guess it may be common to all.

Any clues? Thanx in advance,
hip

Simbul

It is more a warning than an error, and it won't affect the rest of the script.
If you want to get rid of it, you can try adding:
$rel_path='';
on line 35, before the "for" statement.
(It's two single-quotes, not one double-quote )

hip

That was quick.
Thanx Simbul. Very useful & nice plugin (& great support ;-) ).

Now I'd love to see it with localitation facilities. If ever, I offer my self for the spanish translation.

Have a nice day!

Hi eveyone.

I am having a problem with zenpress on my wordpress blog. I finally got zenphoto installed after luckily finding out some information about my host on this forum. Basically, I had to change the /zen directory to something else because that is a reserved name on my host. My zenphoto gallery resides in /photos, with the admin in /photos/setupzen. mod_rewrite wouldn't work, so I turned that off. Then I tried to get zenpress working by changing everything that I thought pointed to the /zen/i.php to point to /setupzen/i.php. everything works fine, except for the display of the photos in the actual post. the thumbnails show in the popup, but once I click them, the inserted image doesn't have the correct path. Somewhere it is still getting the /zen path. Anybody with some more coding experience have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks

grifdogg55

Well, nevermind, it seems that after doing some chmodding and clearing my browser cache, everything is gravy. Thanks for the great plugin!

Simbul

You mean everything is working fine even if your Zenphoto admin directory is not "zen" AND you have mod_rewrite disabled?

I'm looking into it right now and it seems you've spotted a bug, since I did not consider admin directories different than "zen". That's why I'm slightly surprised to hear that now it is working :P

grifdogg55

As far as I know, mod_rewrite is disabled because I turned it off in the zenphoto setup.php file. I know my host supports it, but when I turned it on, I couldn't get zenphoto to work. And once I changed the admin path, the plugin works great.

Hi, i've installed zenpress plugin to my wordpress site. However, I've got as far as activating the plugin and when I'm configuring zenpress in the options section of wordpress I type in a url as such:

for the base path:
http://www.mysite.com/myname/pics

and for admin path:

http://www.mysite.com/myname/pics/zp

(I have to use zp instead of the word zen on my hosting server)

I get a warning saying the admin path does not exist on the filesystem. I have tried the following:

http://www.mysite.com/myname/pics/zp/

and

http://www.mysite.com/myname/pics/zp/admin.php

But i still get the same warning with the variations above.

Also, I noticed that when I'm writing a post in wordpress and click on the zenpress icon, the pop up window shows up but it is blank (no error or source code).

Any help would be much appreciated on this!

fruitystar

Ignore the previous post. I've managed to get it all working now! I realised I had my blog site url set as http://mysite.com not http://www.mysite.com !

Hi,

First congratulations and thank you for your fine ZenPress plugin for Wordpress.

I love it for what I saw and read and I'm sure I will install it and use as soon as I return from my holidays.

Just to inquire if ZenPress uses or plans to use WP-Lightbox or one of the Lightbox-alike libs to popup an image as an option to the...

* Link to an image
* Link to an album
* Link to custom URL

... that I saw in your admin screenshot?

Best,

Lopo
