Zenphoto 1.2.4

We are nearing the release time for the Zenphoto 1.2.4 release. We would really appreciate any testing you forum readers have opportunity to do. We believe the release is stable, but there are always people who do things differently than we do and will find problems we have not seen.

If you can help us, please download the nightly build and give it a good exercise. If you can, make this download on a regular basis from now until the end of the month.

You can report problems on this thread or through the TRAC system. (The latter requires you to create an account.)

  • Development freeze on Zenphoto 1.2.4 occurs today at 11 pm Pacific time. The nightly build from tonight will essentially be the 1.2.4 release unless there is some testing that unveils problems.

    We developers would greatly appreciate any testing and feedback you can provide.
  • No more ZenPaypal plugin ?

    HI,
    just installed the nightly build from yesterday:
    Problems using: Zenpage plugin with Theme Zenpage-Default

    - i have 1 article and 2 Alums on the mainpage but get:
    "« prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 next »"

    - Zenpage: adding new article throws a lot of:
    Notice: Undefined variable: result

    @clicclac:
    The paypal plugin was actually a third party solution we included for convenience. But since we are a small team we decided not to include any third party plugins from now on. It is still available for download on our plugins page.

    @henri:
    You are right, did not notice that before. I will take care of that. I can't reproduce the pagination issue though
  • Specifically, we do not have the means to test some of these plugins. Those we cannot support and whose authors seem no longer active, either supporting them or on the forum, have been placed on the plugins page but will not be distributed with the release. Since they have not change (given no one supporting them) there should be no (new) problems with using the versions from the last release.

    We made this decision as the result of user criticism specifically of some of the spam filter plugins. They seem not to work for some people and we are unable to help them with the issues. The criticism was that they were part of a supported release but not supported. So we took the only action available.

    You can have a look here:

    I'll try a new snapshot next weekend (perhaps i played to much in the admin and crashed something ;) )
  • If you are hoping for a fix in the 1.2.4 release, next weekend will be a little late for any input. Best your try the nightly build sooner to see if the problem is fixed.

    One thing you should look at is the contents of your database. Specefically the news and pages tables. Look for any records which are basically empty. There was a bug that would cause these records to be created erroneously. Delete any records that you do not recognize.

    @henri: The result error should be already fix in the nightly. And regarding the page naviagtion that is a bug I just discovered yesterday myself that is related to a wrong item count if in CombiNews with latest albums. That will be fixed probably in tonight's nightly.

    It's looking good! can't wait for the release.

    I've just started playing with it - but one thing I've found is that the 'duplicate theme' feature only duplicates the 'default' theme - no matter which one I try to duplicate
  • Thanks. Looks like changing the links to buttons has broken the functionality.
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    Theme duplication will be fixed in tonight's nightly.

    cool - you guys are the best.
    One other thing I've noticed - and this may not be a 1.2.4 issue, but since it's an included theme, I'll mention it here
    Effervesence+ option for custom index page seems to only load in either the gallery.php or indexpage.php - none of the others...
  • I am not clear at what you are saying. I can load any of the pages in the selection list. However, the only one that makes any sense for the Efferevescence+ them is gallery. That is how the theme is designed. For Efferevescence+ the custom index page should be gallery or empty.
  • amyg Member
    sbillard - under theme options (Effervessence+ there's the 'custom index' page option.
    It has a list of a few pages (like 'archive, contact, gallery, indexpage' etc)
    whatever page I select - it loads the 'gallery' page.
    Not a huge issue for me - just pointing it out.
  • First, as I said above, the only options that make sense for this theme are 'gallery' and `empty`.

    That said, maybe we are not on the same page as to how this option works. Specifically, it modifies the link which would be to the root page of your site, no parameters, so that it links instead to `page/`. Thus, if you have a breadcrumb the base link will go to the custom page instead of the root page.

    If you directly enter the URL of the root, you get the them index.php loaded. In the case of Efferevescence+ this page will vary depending on if 'gallery' has been selected as the custom index page.

    A different example of the use of this option is the stopdesign theme. With this theme, the root page is index.php and shows the first six albums. But the custom gallery page is the themes archivepage.php script which is a more or less normal style zenphoto gallery index in that it shows all the albums (paged).

    You can observe this behavior in Efferevescence+ by setting the custom indes to 'archive`. Then whenever you click on the album title in the breadcrumbs you will be taken to the archive page. (As I said, not so useful.)
  • amyg Member
    OK - this is starting to make some sense...

    My confusion stems from expecting this option to allow me to set a custom index page (in my mind this is the 'front' page) - It didn't occur to me that this is just the link in the breadcrumb.

    If that makes any sense - (been on the computer way too long today)

    Now I see that these options do work. (odd that they are options in effervecence as it doesn't make sense to use them though...) I was expecting the actual index page to be effected...
    thanks for clearing that up (I have to believe I won't be the last person to be confused by this)
  • Actually, it does allow you to do this, just in a different approach than you are thinkng.

    Take your current index.php page and rename it, say, gallery.php. Then create a new index.php to be the different one.

    As to the options, you will note that they are in the section of standard theme options--available for all themes. With all these options, actual theme use will vary. For instance Effervescence+ does not use the thumb sizes for the album thumbs. So, of course, the list of pages is not screened by the theme.

    Perhaps you can suggest other text from the description of the option which is "If this option is not empty, the Gallery Index URL that would normally link to the theme index.php script will instead link to this script. This option applies only to the main theme for the Gallery."

    got your the latest changes from the trac. breadcrumb works now :)
  • henri Member
    Found some validator issues in:

    zp-core/plugins/zenpage/zenpage-template-functions.php

    function: printNewsContent

    missing "=" at title,
    strip_tags doesn't work if Title contains "'"
    alt needs to be encoded too.

    i.e.:

    `echo "getImageLink()."' title='".html_encode($_zp_current_zenpage_news->getTitle())."'>imagegetSizedImage($size)."' alt='". html_encode($_zp_current_zenpage_news->getTitle())."' />";`

    Ich think i fixed 4 times.

    Theme zendpage-default/sidebar:

    `
    echo "

    "; printCustomPageURL(gettext("Gallery and News"),"archive")."
    ";
    `
    The closing li is not printed out. needs to be with echo

    The metatag is misses a /

    Thanks, will look at these.
  • I have a site running for a friend, and I can by no means get comments to display in pages and news in ZenPage. Just updated with the Nighly build.

    Running
    zenphoto version 1.2.3 [3709] | zenpage version 1.1.1

    Tried with the default-Zenpage theme as well as I thought i had done something wrong in the custom theme I did, but still no go.

    I have turned on Comments in all the places I think are needed.
  • Bravo Zulu guys, 1.2.4 looks good. :)
