Effervescence Release

Stephane

I decided to start a new topic, after our discussion on my early work with this theme.

I've released the theme under a slightly different (but in my opinion better) form so hop along to the demo or download it right away and tell me what you think!

Already downloaded, installed, and I got an error right away. It's looking for a customfunctions.php, which was not included in the distribution.

Reference:
<?php require ('zen/customfunctions.php'); ?>

Thinkdreams.

Stephane

Heh. Sorry. Try downloading again, upload the customfunctions.php file to your /zen/ directory and you'll be good to go!

thinkdreams

That did it, with the exception of the hardcoded "prefix" links in the random function. I just reinserted the default code from one of my other themes. It was hardcoded to use a zptestimages. prefix, which I assume was for your original theme. Other than that, check it out at http://www.thinkdreams.com/devzp

This looks really nice. Thank you for such a beautiful theme.

Stephane

Ugh yes there are a few things I should have thought through more carefully... I'm going to have to add a note about the prefixes. I also noticed that I had changed the number of albums shown on the front page but that's done in the config file.

Stephane

Alright, I've updated the file with more detailed information about the installation procedure.

I installed it on:

http://www.generalmagic.org/gallery/index.php?page=3

Any idea why some albums have a green border where some others don't (I liked your earlier bluish color scheme much better by the way). Also, any idea why sometime the random image works and sometimes it needs a refresh ?

Stephane

edasque:

The albums and pictures with a green border are those you have not yet visited. They lose this character once you click on their links.

I'm sorry you find this version less attractive, but the colors are very easy to modify through CSS as I have provided a color guide at the top of the file.

I haven't had any problems with the random image myself, but they sometimes take a little time to process as the server has to create each image individually unless it is cached.

edasque

I have made changes to the colors a bit:

I don't know what's going on with the random image but when it fails to load, this is what the HTML tag looks like:

<!-- Random Image -->
<div id="randomhead"><img src='/gallery/zen/i.php?a=500&i=&s=1000&w=620&h=180&cw=620&ch=180&cx=300&cy=300' alt='' /></div>

Stephane

Looks great, a bit flat in my opinion, but it just shows how malleable this template can be!

Regarding the random script I still haven't encountered your problem... Does it happen often?

I tried refreshing your page many times to see if the script works and I haven't seen it fail yet.

Which browser are you using?

edasque

I am using firefox but I can see the problem in the HTML code where i= nothing and image= nothing as you can see in the link I pasted.

edasque

no idea ? Does no one else see that on http://www.generalmagic.com/gallery ?

trisweb

I think you mean this:

http://www.generalmagic.org/gallery/index.php?album=Maldives+2003&image=

Are you using the latest version of ZP (1.0.3)? We should catch these... let me test it out locally here...

edasque

Oh, wow, hadn't seen this. I am using 1.0.3, yes.

The other error (image issue with album "500" was due to some issues with one specific album. I just deleted it for now.

trisweb

This is something different, but it reminded me that every theme PHP file should have this line at the top:

`<?php if (!defined('WEBPATH')) die(); ?>`

It prevents them from running outside of zenphoto and revealing paths.

But this new error is different, and I found the problem and it's fixed in SVN. Thanks!
