Some may heard of this side project I was working on for some time (sadly not as continously as I wanted) and a few of you even may already wait for it.

So that you all can believe that this is really coming, I posted a small fun pre-announcement teaser movie on Google video that you can watch here:
http://zenpage.maltem.de or directly on http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=-8656658204129385574&hl=de

Sadly Google video made it a lot more blurry than it originally is, so that the included screenshots are a little hard to see, but to prevent my host from possible bandwidth overload I choose to post it there...:-) Hopefully you get an idea of the coming real thing.

That will probably be within the next days. I need to do some testing, some doc writing and setup a small project site under the above adress. Although Zenphoto contains some offical support for this, it will not be included in the offical Zenphoto package and kept separate for now. But we may decide to make this an full official plugin later.

Post comments or any preliminary questions on this thread if you like.

Great !
I just can't wait !

I think this will make zenphoto 110% better. Looking forward to this...

Awesome! So what is it exactly? A website with zenphoto? Kind of like a blog? or what

Great news. I'm really looking forward to this.

Beautiful work as always.

Thanks, guys.

@code: It adds management capability for normal custom pages and includes also a news section with categories. I call it "news section" because I don't really want even try to compete with something complete as Wordpress.
The target are portfolio sites without the need of a full featured blog or an overloaded CMS. So if the center of your site is the gallery this might be something for you..:-)

Yep, the center of my site is the gallery Lucky me!

acrylian,

zenpage is looking good! I have been patiently waiting for this since you mentioned sometime back:-) I will be converting two sites to use it as soon as you release it. I know the wait will have been worth it.

Thanks for all your work.

Looking forward to this!

I can't wait to give zenpage a try. It seems to fit my purposes 100%.
Brilliant work, acrylian!

I too have been waiting for this for a while since you hinted at it a while back. I currently use Wordpress...will there be any kind of conversion tools for an easy transition?

Currently there is none, but generally a good idea. I can't promise anything though.

sweet.

"if" it works, and does basic things, i may not need drupal anymore ... thanks a lot!!!!! hehe

can't wait to try it out

don't want to use an other cms system just for contact and links and so on..

I very much so look forward trying this plugin. if you need some testers I am more than happy to give some of my time.

Thanks. It will be out very soon. You all are invited to test it when it is out and to report bugs. The tests, I am setting up the project site with it, seem to show that it works fine. But surely here and there a bug will have sneaked in.

I can see there is a check box in the nightly stating Zenpage for the user rights, So I guess it is getting pretty close.

Yep, that foreshadows the great (hopefully) things to come...:-)
