That said, if possible I'd like it to be possible to bypass the 'gallery' page, and enter straight into a 'image' page.
For example, I'd like to go straight into an image page that looks like this: http://www.chloelederman.co.uk/photos/index.php?album=55-cornwall-crescent&image=chloe+5.jpg (including the gallery on the same page). With this layout the 'gallery' page is redundant.
This is being discussed lightly here: http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=585.
Cheers!

firstly, i love the asimplicity of the current version if I had any suggestions they might be:

form based login would be nice, instead of having to use .htaccess.

a gui to configure would be cool, but editing the config files by hand is easy enough for most

using imagemap or similar to integrate navigation buttons on the actual image you are currently viewing

prebuffering of the next photo in sequence

I think a good and easy to make feature is image rating

I am definitely in the camp of folks who'd like to see a gui for configuration. However, being a convert from Gallery2, I wouldn't want to gain that kind of functionality at the expense of simplicity, ease of use, or bloat.

I think a few other features that I'd like to see include (in no particular order):

1. Ability to pass photo's to popular online photo printing services
2. Ability to play with Flickr and Picasa WebAlbums
3. Access to the zp api to make plug-in development easier ("lenses" as mentioned above)
4. Social networking features mentioned above
5. Tagging
6. RSS feeds
7. Ability to turn commenting on and off for albums and pictures (other than through the css).

After using Zenphoto some I think the sub-albums feature is an important feature to make solid. I like the idea of tagging and connecting with social networks, but of course making using those features (especially the social network connections) optional for those of us who don't use social networks.

Don't know if anyone mentioned this but cropping specific area of image, making it thumbnail and assigning it for both albums or images would be great, don't you think?

enes's advice maybe come true now, you can change the size in the canpel and select the size which you want.

You still can't crop specific areas for thumbnails, but that's on our list.

Hi all,

i don't know if this post is still relevant, but a quick search on 'zenphoto+openid' brings me here.

I use zenphoto to host some public galleries and a lot of private ones. I use login/password couples to restrict access to these private galleries, but it's not really easy to administer, and visitors needs to remember all these login/password couples... and this drives they nuts!

I thought an openid integration could be fine working like this:
- a user logs with openid and have no access by default
- its openid login (url) its recorded in the database
- administrator or zenphoto user can then allow access to each openid users it wants

I can even dream of a way to indicate openid login before its login to allow access to some galleries.

What do you think about that?

ps: i know it needs someone to do it, so it's just a proposition, an idea. I wish i were able to do it but i don't rellay know php

Please see the current nightly build and the register_user plugin.

I had a thought for future development. Two thoughts actually, but related. First, a mobile view, for viewing the site from a phone or PDA. Ideally it would be the exact same site reformatted for PDA, maybe like /zenphoto/mobile. Second thought but along the same lines, an SMS conduit so that you could upload directly from your PDA to the site via SMS text, or even email. Now that I think about it, an email interface to upload would be cool on its own.

Someone else was interested in a moble option for zenphoto. I think they actually had a theme for it. Do a forum search and maybe you will find the reference.

Anyway, make these suggestions in a feature request ticket on the TRAC site.
