Hi

Is there a possibility of transferring comments from an old version 1.0.1 to 1.4.5.7?

regards

"Is there a possibility" is always the wrong question, you know. It's all code, "all" can be done but it is a matter of "does it makes sense" in time and effort.

I don't remember how the comments worked on 1.0.1 (before my time, I joined later) but I don't think the general handling changed. Should still be the same database structure. Otherwise you would need to write someting to import it to the right db fields.

database structure is a bit different, dont have enough knowledge of sql right now, maybe later on. Thanks.

by the way I've noticed that in your demo site when you click on the next button to see photos, then only the photos load and not the whole page whereas on my site with every click the whole page loads along with the photo. Is this normal?

The best we can suggest is for you to try the upgrade. Maybe it will work, maybe not. Of course you should make a backup first just in case it does not work.

Generally Zenphoto will migrate databases forward during the upgrade. If that will work with the 1.0.1 release is not known. That release is also before my time.

Regarding the demo: Those are plain standard themes and the whole page reloads. What you see however is actually just normal browser cache behaviour which caches all elements that do not change. Also the demo uses the static_html_cache plugin which additionally speeds up.

You can speed up the single image page even more by preloading the image of the next/prev pages (I have an "unofficial" plugin for that).

i never upgraded sequentially from 1.0.1 to 1.4.5.7 so it should not work. The newer version is quite different. Anyway thanks no problem.

so when is the unofficial plugin coming in the control panel?

one more thing, i was looking for the "registration form" to customize it but could'nt find it. can u pls tell me where is it? I need to remove some fields like street, postal code etc. I found it for comment form but not for registration form.

thanks a lot for ur time

so when is the unofficial plugin coming in the control panel?

You can download it from @crylian's own repository on GitHub (https://github.com/acrylian?tab=repositories)

This is a direct download link:
https://github.com/acrylian/preloadimage/archive/master.zip

Copy the contents of the folder to your `plugins` folder and activate the plugin on the backend plugin page.
(From the user ser guide: http://www.zenphoto.org/news/using-plugins-and-third-party-features)

The `register_user` plugin has options to show or omit address fields.

Actually I recommend to use the tagged release on my repos (although in this case it is really the same as the master):
https://github.com/acrylian/preloadimage/releases

To further explain, unofficial plugins/themes etc. always need to be installed manually. On the plugins tab only those appear that are shipped with the ZP release.

All 3rd party stuff known to use is listed on the extensions section.

The link above was broken so here is the corrected one:

ok great, installed the plugin, though i cant really tell the difference right now as my internet is giving me some speed problems since yesterday.

The register_user plugin has options to show the following address fields:

Street, City, State, Country, Postal Code

I am interested in only City and Country but cant find the page where to edit this.

Thanks

Please best don't mix different topics.

The image_preload plugin needs to be configured properly to show an effect. You need to set the options matching the sized image on your theme. Otherwise the plugin preloads the wrong size and is naturally useless.

You cannot disable individual fields on the register user plugin, only either all or none.

ok thanks, and sorry for the mixing part I myself realized that i messed it up.

No problem, just easier for us all.
