Well this thread confirms one things, after a new release wait for all the bleeding edge users to update first Thanks guys learnt a lot (and still am) about the update process.
I do agree though that the devs should have had a notice at the 1.2.3 download AND in the readme about the ZenPage integration - not everyone uses svn or goes to the ZenPage project page or where ever that notice was supposedly detailing this - the notice should have been with ZenPhoto not ZenPage.
I also agree that while ZenPage is being made an 'official' plugin it should be set as 'NOT' required for ZenPhoto to run and even have it setup as default as not enabled. Please don;t get me wrong ZenPage is great and I use it, but at the same time there are many that do not need it and ZenPhoto has been great for so long without it - so why does it 'NEED' it now?
You missunderstood a few things:
Zenpage has not been integrated in Zenphoto 1.2.3 but is already in the svn now. But even now Zenphoto DOES NOT require Zenpage to run. It's an optional plugin.
The point is that Zenphoto already contained core support for Zenpage from the beginning. That is part of the reason they are now finally joined (actually we planned that anyway sometime), since sbillard and I already maintain it together.
In this case Zenpage 1.0.1 was not compatible with the new Zenphoto 1.2.3 due to some changes in the Zenphoto core made necessary by Zenpage's internal restructuring.
Zenpage 1.1 and Zenphoto 1.2.3 were scheduled to be release on the same day but since I am in Europe and the others in the US we had a time zone issue that prevented releases at the same time.
I agree that that it should have been in the read me. I forgot that. But I also simply expect the requirements right below the Zenpage download button being read. It's not there for no reason..:-)
Hope that clears the thing a little now...
Before I start, thanks to the Zenphoto team for a great program. I really appreciate their hard work.
I just upgraded from 1.2.1 to 1.2.3. I wanted to post my experience here in case anyone else had the same issue.
After upgrading I noticed that the alt tags on the main gallery page were not aligned properly (the alt tages are at the right-bottom instead of at the right-top of the image). This was causing the main gallery page to display improperly.
After a whole lot of mucking around (dropping all my database tables, searching the forums, etc) and re-doing all the admin settings I discovered that the "sterile" theme options have this issue (within the default theme) where as the light and dark do not. So it wasnt necessarily an issue with the point release, but maybe an issue with those theme options.
Then because I rebuilt the database my sort options were off (I sort by date, descending). So I went into Admin, to the "edit" tab and I was getting 30 sec timeouts as the page loaded my galleries. I just kept clicking refresh until finally everything loaded (this was maybe 6 times). Also, nothing was sorted correctly until after about the 6th time. Strangely I didnt end up actually changing anything, just the act of refreshing a half dozen times seemed to resolve everything.
Now everything is working great again! I hope this helps other people.
