I am not aware of a user guide for menu or page but their usage seems obvious BUT

There is a funny interaction between menu and page

1. copy all files from zp1.6.8 download to directory
2. add downloaded zpBootstrap fork to themes directory
3. create empty db with phpMyAdmin
4. run setup and enable page

   basic gallery page with Search option shown [no menus]

5. Themes tab > zpBootstrap - activate [All themes (except zpBootstrap) show as deprecated so I am happy to have zpBootstrap which I use for my website anyways]

   Home Gallery and Search icon shown as menu items

6. enable menu_manager and zenpage plugins

   no change to webpage

7. enable Options > Theme > Use custom menu

   Home News Gallery and Search icon shown as menu items

8. Menu tab - these items are pre-populated there and set to active
9. Hide News and it gets hidden
10. create a page (not published)

    no change - page not displayed

11. publish it (not added to Menu)

    page title is displayed in menu

12. Menu tab > Add Menu Items > Zenpage page select the created page and Apply

    page title is displayed twice in menu

13. Page > unpublish the page

    it does not appear in the menu at all

14. Page > publish and it appears twice again in the menu
15. Menu > hide the page and it appears once in the menu

I assume if menu_manager plugin is enabled and custom menu is enabled in theme then only those things not hidden in menu should be shown.

Maybe I missed some other option - I will continue checking

I'm using zenphoto since V 1.5.6 and I'm very happy with your work on this project. Many thanks for that. My questions:

1. The downloaded zenphoto packages contains imho the plugins gd_fonts, imagick_fonts, and watermarks in the plugins folder, but after installation on the server, the plugin site_upgrade is also present. Where does this come from?

2. In the procedure described at installation and upgrading, the plugins folder is not updated. Same with moving described in moving and changing existing installations the plugins folder is not moved to the new server. Do the plugins mentioned in question 1. not need to be upgraded or moved? If so, how is this done?

Kind regards, imagepet

I find 1.5.9 will not run at all for me under PHP8.x (I hope this is not a surprise)

When I do an upgrade from 1.5.9 to 1.6.0 (on PHP 7.x) I have lost my menu_manager menu items that were albums.
The albums are still there and all the data (titles, etc) migrated ok but they do not appear in my menu.

I can create a new album and when I try to add the album to my menu it fails with a message on admin panel “update_menu” Cross Site Request Forgery blocked.

In the security log I see
2026-02-16 23:21:57 Cross Site Reference iccoadmin Chuck Storry Blocked update_menu

Unfortunately the migration on the live server went poorly (and the netfirms support team are still looking into it) so I proceeded to check the migrations on MAMP on my MAC (mac mini M4)

I don't want to list too many problems at the same time but I hope this is not an issue with MAMP. I could even only get MAMP 6.9 (free) to work. Later versions gave me more grief (something about needing to call spawn) so I will hope version 6.9 is OK to use and worry about MAMP later (what version do you use? I think I saw version 6.8 in one of your responses).

Is there something I need to configure or disable in order to avoid the XSRF issue?

Thanks

Omitted fields like Title or Company of the form are still displayed although they are set to "omitted" in the plugin options.

Also discovered that I cannot change the options of the contact_form plugin in the admin panel. If I make changes the changes are not saved.

During the upgrade I also got the following warning:

Warning: the zp_options table appears not to have a proper UNIQUE key. There are probably duplicate entries in the table which can cause unpredictable behavior. This can normally be corrected by creating a Zenphoto backup, dropping the table, running setup to restore the table, and then restoring from the backup. Note, however, that the duplicate entries will be lost.

Although the table has id set as the primary key.

Any ideas?

I did try out the user_groups.plugin - but disabled when I could not get that working correctly. After i disabled it, is there a chance that the settings I left it with are influencing the register_user.plugin? It's the next troubleshootng that I can think to look?

1. As I provide some downloads in the articles i usually use the printDownloadURL function - which works fine with the codeblocks.
   I am wondering if it is possible to use this function "somewhere" in the article.
   Say you have a paragraphs with the file descriptions - then it would be great to have the download link below the descriptions.

2. When downloading as a logged in user the counter acts a little bit strange:
   1st download = count five
   2nd download = seven
   3rd = eight
   From the 3rd download counting is correct and increases +1 with each download. This does not happen for non logged in users.

I hav already resetted the "allowed html commands" in the options of the general tab.

Do i miss something?

The big white space at the top is where usually the map will be displayed.
I have set the album layout to "Grid" because with Masonry layout the album will load forever.
(Disabling Openstreet Map will load the album without problems).

I have created a few test albums - it seems that the problem occurs when the album has more than 1600 images.

I did not find a limit in the plugins files....

Any ideas except commenting out the display of OSM in the album.php file?

adminBranding is a plugin for Zenphoto CMS for customization of Admin backend.

Originally adminBranding was intended as a fork of zp-branding v1.4 to be merged with zp-branding.
Since our approaches to the task and customization needs are so different, me and @fretzl have decided to keep projects separate, hence the rename. Calling it zp-branding (kuzzzma version) potentially could lead to confusion and, anyway, I'm not Taylor Swift.

Instead of proposed zp-branding ver 2.0 this work is therefore released as adminBranding v1.0 and will be updated if need be by myself.
It was tested with latest Zenphoto version 1.6.3a.

Feedback is welcome.

Links: https://github.com/kuz-z-zma/adminBranding

Options:

• Logo for Admin (Default, Custom, No logo) with ability to specify width and margins.
• Background styling for Admin (Default image, Custom image, No image, Image repeat behaviour, Color)
• Styling of Text and Links in Admin.
• Custom CSS for further alterations.
• Custom Logo and Background files should be placed in "/uploaded/design" folder of your Zenphoto install
  (see more info on UPLOAD FOLDER of Zenphoto).
• Plugin also supports translation, and I've provided one for Russian (ru_RU).

What it does differently from zp-branding:

• adminBranding doesn't use included custom Logo image.
  If user wants to use custom Logo - they need to upload it into designated area, to protect files from being overwritten on the update.
• adminBranding greatly expands available options.
• adminBranding allows user mix and match plugin Options to combine custom and default elements for their desired look.

Installation:

1. Copy "/admin-branding" folder and "admin-branding.php" and into the "/plugins" folder of your Zenphoto installation.
2. Enable the "adminBranding" plugin in the Zenphoto backend (Admin section of plugins list).
3. Upload custom Logo and background images into "/uploaded/design" folder (see above).
4. Setup plugin to your liking via plugin options.

I was wondering, can I create a plugin and use it exclusively on my Gallery?
