I'm considering adding swup.js to the theme Collections.

I notice that the plugin's javascript is systematically integrated from the home page. Never on demand. Which is a good thing for me. Do you confirm?

Thanks for your help !

For convenience (because my server can't deal with thumbnail generation on the fly) I need a few additional cached thumbnails to be generated by the theme I am using (zpBootstrap).

At the moment I see a bunch of "registered" cached image generation options when I use cache manager including for theme Garland and plugin zenpages (etc).

I'm looking into the zpBootstrap theme code /zpBootstrap-master/themeoptions.php and there appears to be a proper initialization section
if (class_exists('cacheManager')) {
and call to register the sizes
cacheManager::addCacheSize($me, NULL, 1000, 500, 1000, 500, NULL, NULL, NULL, $img_wmk, $img_effect, false);

but I don't see this option when I use the cache manager.

Can you point me to what might be wrong?

(when I fix that I think I can figure out how to add the sizes I want to add)

I want to allow right click on the image and download.

I have tried all combinations of the 2 Options > Images > Full image protection settings and don't notice any difference - nothing happens on right click on image

I can save any of the thumbnails

It works fine on a live server BUT as you might know I am trying to create the thumbnails on MAMP for a large (website re-install) dump of photos.

I created an album to see if there needed to be an album before being able to configure the sizes but I haven't added any photos to the album.

I have just installed this again and trying it as Gemini said you were good :) but when I look at all the themes that come with it they says that are being depreciated. I then go to themes list and getting very confused with which ones I can use.

Can you tell me which ones I can use?

I have a strange issue with a theme.
On some pages, with google chrome, the content is just not there, although it's fine with Firefox.
Here's an example of such a page with the issue:

It works fine with Mozilla firefox.
I tested on windows and Linux: same. I tested with Chromium on Linux: same than google chrome.

I checked the generated HTML: it is different. At the beginning there's 2 lines of scripts not present for chrome-based browsers. And later the content itself is not there. header and footer are ok: I just get an empty page.

I tested other themes: same issue with zenpage or zpmobile for example.

I am at a loss, where should I investigate next?

Thanks for your help

Possibly another quirk from my hosting company (of which there have been many)

Clean installation as above worked fine - except for the home page - partly blank, no Admin button but the user menu links were there and worked fine. All other user menus (news, gallery, search...) were fine

Logging showed: -
ERROR: Call to undefined function getImageStatistic() in .../zenphoto/themes/imc/functions.php on line 99

Quick search, line 99 did indeed call that function and the function is defined in .../zenphoto/zp-core-zp-extensions/image_album_statistics.php

Rather than chase down why it couldn't find it, I copied the function into the theme...

And I don't know if it's ZenPhoto, ZPBootstrap or PHP I've broken...

I've a workaround, but it's not scalable, and I could do without the same issue again...

Issue (or you'll get bored and not read to the end)


PHP include was working but now not including (but no error)...

Background


Two instances of ZenPhoto, same domain, different subdirectories and albums (one is "live" [27,000 images] and one "test" [12 images]). Same version of both ZenPhoto and ZPBootstrap
Each has four themes - Basic, ZPBootstrap and two "modified" ZPBootstrap (two different sites I'm developing, different colours, logo etc)

Both instances working fine until just before Christmas - then the live one went "weird"
It affected all three themes based on ZPBootstrap, but not Basic
it only affected "live", not "test"
Images (and links) were there but formatting, menus were not

Detective Work


Looking in the browser at "Page Source"; Home, Gallery, News and other sections were not including "inc_header.php". This was the only part missing, others (including "inc_footer.php") were fine.
Built some scaffolding around the first line of "Home" - 'about to include inc_header' displayed, 'back from include inc_header' was displayed but inc_header had not been included.
Change 'include' to 'require' (so it would abort if it couldn't) - no change
Add a line to display the status of include - "True" - Home thinks it's been included

Workaround (or desperation!)


Copy 'inc_header' to a new file 'inc_head' and include that in Home - it worked! Repeat for "Gallery", "News", "Favourites" etc

Conclusion


For some reason, one (and only one) instance of ZenPhoto has stopped (it was previously working) including "inc_header.php" but without an error - no other include is affected.
But I'm worried that next week it might stop including "inc_footer" and I've got to do it all again. I'd like to know why

currently i am evaluating the Collections theme which is great out of the box.

What i am struggeling with:
How can I display a pages "menu" on the sidebar (just like the categories on the article pages).
Here is an example:
https://www.ralf-kerkhoff-bilderwelten.de/seiten/impressum/

You can see that i have added the "pages menu" to the page (Impressum, Datenschutz Erklärung etc) at the top of the page.
But i have no idea how to display this at the left side of my pages.
Any tips are welcome!

Cheers

I have recently started using Zenphoto for a personal photography website; and I am really impressed with the features and flexibility it offers. I am currently working on customizing one of the default themes to better fit the style I am aiming for with my photography portfolio; but I have encountered a few roadblocks that I hope someone here can help with.

I want to adjust the layout of my gallery pages so that the images are presented in a grid format with uniform spacing. The current theme; has images arranged in; a more scattered manner; and I am unsure how to modify the CSS to create a clean; uniform grid. Does anyone have experience with this;; and could you share the necessary code or point me in the right direction?

I would also like to adjust the size of the image thumbnails in the gallery without impacting the overall page layout. Is there a recommended way to tweak the thumbnail sizes within the theme settings; or will I need to manually adjust this in the code?

While the theme I am using looks great on de;sktop; the mobile version seems to have some alignment issues, particularly with the naviga;tion menu and gallery images. What is the best approach for ensuring full mobile responsiveness within Zenphoto themes?

Also, I have gone through this post; https://forum.zenphoto.org/discussion/1410757/theme-displaying-titles-descriptions-also-import-minitab-descriptionswhich definitely helped me out a lot.

I have been reviewing the documentation and tinkering with the theme files; but I figured it might be more efficient to ask for help here.
