Before I try.... - charliemarie - 28-11-2010
Hello! Before I download Zen Photo I wanted to check it can do what I need it do as I am quite new to website design...
I've already designed a website in Dreamweaver, would the chosen gallery be able to fit in with my pre-designed website? As in go in the content div section?
I have hosting with 1and1 internet set up- would I be able to still host with them as I've heard some CMS systems host for you?
Would I be able to put my Paypal button code in the HTML on the enlarged image anywhere?
Quite fussy I know but I do want a simple gallery, nothing overly fancy! As you can tell I'm not clued up on how these work and can't seem to find out how anywhere! Is it a programme you download and use from your computer, or is it an online service?
Thanks
Charlotte

First generally Zenphoto is a web gallery foccussed CMS (Content management system) that you have to download and install on a web server (= your webspace) to your own (gallery) website. We don't provide any hosting services or similar.

No. Zenphoto can't be "included" in standard html because it runs with PHP. I suggest to read the theming tutorial to learn how Zenphoto themes (=designs) work. You won't be able to theme Zenphoto using Dreamweaver unless you have a local server. If you are that new to web design you probably should learn some basics before trying to do too much or just use a standard theme first.

If Zenphoto can be installed on your server depends on your webspace package. You find all requirements on our requirements page. Ask your host if you don't know.

I don't understand what you mean here?

Yes, there is a plugin available for this but you will have to add it to your theme yourself.
