  • No problem, it's your choice and showcase.:-)

    Actually, problems I still have to investigate are related to
    - search : the context seems to be lost and you end browsing the physical album of the first picture you choose to display
    - thumbnails display on the image page : remains stuck on the first pictures thumbnails of the album
    - re-work on several bottom tabs layout : albums list getting too long, tags list too far on the right, and such.

    But this will have to wait a bit.
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    Yeah, there is always something to do :) Search is a bit complicated and the context can be lost in some case if you link directly to an image. I can only suggest to look at the official themes.
  • Ah... It's more or less comforting I'm not the first one to have had this search problem!
    :-)
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    The "problem" is if you link to an image directly in certain cases it is the image in the real album. ZP cannot know you want the search (or dynamic album) context.
  • I'll have to check. But I'm pretty sure I used standard functions and didn't make special link; it's a part I've almost copied/pasted from the original zpMasonry theme, but I can't even check whether it works with zpMasonry as this theme seems to be broken now (`Fatal error: Cannot access protected property SearchEngine` message).
    So I'll have to compare with one of the official themes to see where things go AWOL.

    In case I haven't mention, I have roughly updated three of gjr's themes to work with 1.4.5.

  • You the man acrylian, thanx for the updates.

    And I am humbled to see my site in the showcase.

    This is my first "finished" website and Zenphoto is fantastic, much better then wordpress etc. for photo galleries.

    Peace.

    Thanks :-)
  • Hey! I have just released the new version of Josie Hewitt Photography, check it out: http://josiehewittphotography.co.uk.

    Any chance of a slot in the showcase, any promo for you or JHP would be great! Share away :)

    Regards,
    Matthew.

    Sadly your server seems not capable of the site you did. I see a an error:
    503 Error - CPU Quota Exceeded
    You have attempted to access a website which has used too much CPU time on the server. Therefore this error has occurred."
  • Yeah, we released the site to the public at the same time and that happened, I will be moving host straight away.. Do the zenphoto hosts that you recommend have this problem?
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    Those hosts from the "Hosting" page are not really recommendations, those are (hopefully obviously) advertisements. They say they are fully Zenphoto compatible so we have no reason to believe they are not.

    Our own server is on another hosts (indpendence!). And I am on Europe so I naturally use local hosts of my country. I think we were provide with a test account on one of those that our chief tested a while back successfully.

    Generally ZP works on fairly standard shared hosting packages. All depends of course on what you do there :-) See the user guide for common image problems, too many too big dimension images can get any server to crash.
  • Hello again!

    I have done a lot of optimisation work on the site and http://josiehewittphotography.co.uk is now ready for prime time in the showcase!

    Regards,

    Nice site, will be added to the showcase gallery soon. And now Zenpage for the blog part, too ;-)
  • I don't think I will be able to budge my client for swapping out Blogger, even though Blogger is a complete pain and really slow!

    Nice one, will be added to the gallery very soon. What do you use for caching then? Did the html cache plugin not work out for you?

    Looks nice for sure but sadly not valid for the showcase gallery (ready made theme used).
  • Hi there,

    Here is the new Catch Digital website: <link removed by admin>

    Thanks,
    Catch
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    Nice site but I don't see that it uses Zenphoto for anything so it is invalid here and the link has therefore been removed. I only see Drupal involved. But if I am wrong please respond.
  • Here's my website
    <link remove by admin>

    Thanks for this great CMS..
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    I don't see Zenphoto involved in the site so the link has been removed.
  • Hello everyone! Here's my American Football Site: http://www.football-eu.com
    and here is my Photo Site: http://www.football-eu.com/pics

    Thanks a lotof for Zenphoto.
  • Hi all: I have a photo gallery that is completely powered by zen photo which runs the entire site on a custom design I commission.

    The site is http://www.goodfreephotos.com

    Please consider it for the showcase.
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    @Ljubi B.: Sadly the Zenphoto part too close to the original zpMasonry theme to enter the showcase gallery. But nice photos and good to see the scriptless-sharing plugin in use!

    @Good Free Photos: Sorry you apparently have been caught in the spam filter several times. Feel free to sent us a mail if it happens again. Nice site and valid for the showcase gallery.
  • Hello,

    I have been running http://Texturex.com since 2011. It is running completely on ZenPhoto with a heavily modified zpArdoise theme, and very few plugins.
    Some fun facts about the site, it gets around 100,000 visits per month, with the most viewed photo at over 500,000 views. 99.9% of its traffic is from organic Google search results giving a case for strong SEO built into the platform.
    Zen Photo has been a great CMS, and the easiest to use for a website like this. There are many future plans including making the theme mobile friendly. Hopefully there are enough resources here to make that a possibility without having to change the theme too much.
    Thanks,

    Mark
  • Hello All! Here's my Site:

    Thanks ZenPhoto
  • Hi all!
    I would like to have my gallery site reviewed in the Showcase section.
    It is based on ZenPhoto and several addons.
    The aim of site is to share my media and to sell pics in certain categories.
    Theme is completely redeveloped and customized (basing on Paradigm theme).
    Based on 1.4.8 release, some plugins and also core has partially retouched to customize some features.

    Many thanks
