pretty neat guys... pretty neat..

Yes, please document how to achieve this in any theme.

I hope you don't mind Skwid, but I looked at your fotobuzz source code (your dir listing is open) and tried it out. My apologies. But it works great!
You got any more updates on this?

anything anything?

Geert, what should you chmod the dir so that the public cant see in it but have it all run fine as if it were open?
ive been wanting to do that on my own site... close the dirs that is

Hum ... I'm sorry I've been very busy lately I haven't had time to make a release.

Geert, you can't possibly have it working my current implementation needs a modification in the classes.php code..

Pinecone, you need to mess in the apache config for that. You probably want to do it in a .htaccess file.

thanks skwid, and its cool man no rush, i was just afraid the project dropped completely :p

Well, I did anyway, it works, without modifying the classes... I just changed fbIR.js like you did, that is all. What have I overlooked and did you change in the classes?

Pinecone, sorry that I didn't answer yet, but like skwid said, you should use htaccess to do that.

Well I don't know how you did it, but your fotobuzz is probably linked to the cache images instead of being linked to the real images. Which means that if you clear your cache or change the display size, you lose all your notes ..

Nope, I already checked that. Deleted my cache, notes remained.
Isn't that what you changed in the JS file?

Well... Nevermind, I was able to get fotonotes working with zenphoto (with some support from the author Greg Elin)!
Works great. I think I prefer this instead of fotobuzz.

geert -

it would be really cool if you could share your installation with all of us. I'd like to see how you implemented the fotonotes stuff. i think it would be really cool in zenphoto.

thinkdreams.

Just downloaded the latest version from http://fotonotes.net/

It looks simple enough to implement. i'll give this a try sometime over the weekend

There is a nice tutorial here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fotonotes/message/47

Found it from the fotonotes website. I am still having some trouble with it, but I should have it resolved soon I hope.

I have posted a support request on the fotonotes group board. I think I'm having some pathing issues with it.

Geert - Did you have to make any further modifications to what Greg had posted to get your to work, or did it just "work" based on his tutorial? Neither my default theme nor my testing_dev theme seems to want to display the proper image with annotations. Looks like the .js isn't executing at all.

I do have mod_rewrite on.

Sorry, been away on vacation for more than a week. But I am back, well rested...

Thinkdreams,
No I used the tutorial as you found on the yahoo group. Btw, kiddomono, thats me too , but until now I didn't had the time to test it some more. I think I will do it this week.
At first I couldn't get it to work either, my problem was that I didn't set the correct paths to the fotonotes server (the path to fotonotes.php), you have to set it in the fnclient.js file.

Let me know if you find out more.

(When I am finished and satisfied with my theme, I think I will release it, so people can play with it some more... Until now it supports exif, zip archiving, show all thumbs, photo annotations, ...)

What does your path look like for the fotonotes server. I ended up sending my code off to Greg (the fotonotes dev guy) to see if he could get it to work properly. Hmmm.....

I read your conversation on the yahoo groups, but I'm no code wizard... But the path I entered looks like this: /myzendir/themes/mytheme/fotonotes/

(btw, I'm a Dreamhost user too, only changed the WEBPATH in my zenphoto installation, but no problems with fotonotes)

I'm still not getting something right here. I'll see what Greg comes up with. I sent him a copy of my code.

Allright. After reviewing everything, here's what I have:

1. I am on Dreamhost
2. I have installed zenphoto under a subdir called /zenphoto.
3. I am using a custom theme that I built called zenmingway. A derivative of the thinkdreams_zen theme.
4. In the image PHP file, I have:
<!-- Fotonotes Additions -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?= $_zp_themeroot ?>/fotonotes/fnclientlib/js/fnclient.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?= $_zp_themeroot ?>/fotonotes/fnclientlib/styles/fnclient.css" />
5. In the fnclient.js I have:
// Address of fotonotes.php on the server (this auto-detect should work):
var fnServerPath = "/zenphoto/themes/zenmingway/fotonotes/";
var fnServerFotonotesScript = "fotonotes.php";
6. In the fotonotes.php file I have (default settings):
/* CONFIGURATION
--------------------------------------------- */
// Complete URL to this script. Change only if 'autodetect' didn't work!
$LOCALPATH = 'autodetect';

// This path is prepended to incoming paths that start with a slash!
// Leaving empty will resolve paths starting with / from the server root
$LOCALROOT = '';
7. fotonotes is installed under the zenmingway root as:
fotonotes
fotonotes/fnclientlib
fotonotes/fnclientlib/js
fotonotes/fnclientlib/styles

Think you can check that out and see if you concur with my settings Geert, or do you see any glaring issues?

No, I don't see any wrong with these settings. I have them exactly the same. Well, you know, with other dir names of course...

Some other little things I think of...

In fnclient.js, did you change:
var imageFileSrc = "id";

And in image.php, did you set a the img tag to something like this:
printDefaultSizedImage(getImageTitle(),'fn-image',getFullImageURL());
So the class is set to fn-image and the id is set to the full path of the image?
