ZenPhoto 1.4.5.2 in Wordpress 3.5.x

Hello all,

Just for information:
I integrated ZenPhoto in my Wordpress website, on a test site before my real site.
Test site used ZenPhoto 1.4.5 in a Wordpress 3.5.1. Everything was ok.
So I decided to put this in production.
But I used ZenPhoto 1.4.5.2 in a Wordpress 3.5.2 and my website doesn't work at all. It showed an error 500.
Reason was that in the 1.4.5.2, a new function appears: build_query() and this function is also defined in Wordpress!

It's not a big problem, I just modified the name of the function where it's defined and where it's called but it's not really user friendly.

Bye!

    Sorry for your trouble, but you might understand that we consider Zenphoto a standalone CMS so we don't and can't test what happens if combined with other CMS.

    You didn't tell how you integrated it btw. The "Zenphoto as a plugin" way on our site does not work anyway for literally years and the recommended way is making themes look alike.

    I clearly understood, don't worry! It's why I wrote "Just for information", in case someone, like me, would be facing the same issue. ;)
    I don't want you to modify anything in your great tool!

    Actually, I duplicated the default theme and modified the index.php and album.php to call the header and footer of wordpress, and made some adjustements of the css. And it works great.

    Wordpress+ZenPhoto is a very effective way for photographers like us to show our portfolio.

    Ok, good, just wanted to clarify! We actaully think that Zenphoto alone would be a good tool for photographers since we have blog etc as well :-)
