Hi All,

I was designing a site for someone who unfortunately backed out. I decided to continue the design, add some flexibility, and release the zenphoto/zenpage theme to the community. I hope some will find it useful.

Demo and Download here:
http://www.blueskywebcreations.com/zpfocus

I have not tested it very thoroughly (only firefox really) - feedback welcome!

Great, that's a nice one! Thanks for sharing. I can report it seems to work fine in Safari 4, too.

I will glady add an entry to our themes section.

Cool - thanks Acrylian

An excellent piece of work right there gjr! Very nice job, can't believe your client backed out.

Thanks Micheall!

@acrylian - I just noticed something strange...When I am viewing the full image from a search, the subalbums disappear in my gallery dropdown menu. Any idea what would be causing that?

Search context is a quite complicated thing. Maybe take a look at the print_album_menu plugin, that should not do that and maybe you can adapt that to your custom function. I don't remember how it is done there and actually sbillard did that part...;-)

yeah - my custom function is actually just that plugin with some modified html output for superfish. I will try just outputting that plugin on the sidebar and see if it does the same thing...

Nice theme. I'm still doubting if I should use this.

Hi!

I am using your theme right now, but I can't get the albums to use the new theme.
Except for the first 2 they keep going back to the old theme when you click on an album.

I can't seem to get it right, does anybody have a solution?

I would check the specific albums that are having trouble and make sure you haven't accidentally selected the old album's "Album Theme" to anything. If you have just click and select the blank option at the top.

A side note to acrylian & sbilliard:
Having the blank option isn't very intuitive, especially with a theme named "default". Perhaps we can change the blank option to say something like "Gallery Default Setting" or something like that?

Sounds reasonable, I would prefer "No album theme" then...;-)

Hehe such a simple solution, goes to show when you stare at it too long you don't see anything anymore.
It worked, thanks!

By the way, if you wanna see what I did with it you can visit www.corrian.nl ;)

"No album theme" would be confusig to me, I think. I prefer michaell's suggestion.

Fine with me, too, but actualy "No album theme" is set..;)

Great theme - very 'zen' & 'clean'.

I notice that 'zpfocus' is hardwired into the page header which I guess is a bug.... I'm also having problems getting news to appear on pages..anyone got any tips about how best to get the news & categories to work...? I just get the begining of the news item and then .. nothing.

My test site is at: http://www.lymden-lodge.com/dev-1/index.php

Thanks for any tips in advance!

I fixed the hardwired zpFocus a few days ago I think and updated download package. Let me know if you notice it any where else...

Looks like your news is causing an error in ZenPage. Did you by chance change the name of the news page and then not in your .htaccess file or something?

When I get time I will update the theme to use the new ZenPage search and tags functionality of 1.2.8

Thanks for the fast reply - I'll re d/l the theme package (1.1?) and check it out. & No, I did a clean install in that sub dir of both ZP & ZF.. I'll check .htaccess..

Thanks for the suggestions,

David

Hi gjr

I've trashed the old version of ZPFocus and installed the new one which (partially) fixes the 'zpfocus' bug. (Maybe an idea to increment the version numbers..?)

And, yes, it does fix the zpfocus bug on most pages but not on zenpage 'text' pages which don't use a gallery and so seem to retain the ZPFocus as the headline. One for after Christmas perhaps!

Also, having done a clean install I still have the same issue with disappearing news items, which work OK if I flip to the default Zenpage theme.

As ZPFocus is so good could you maybe have a quick look to see what might be causing this pls? (Or suggest where I might look?)

My test site is at http://toybox.lymden-lodge.com/

Happy Christmas & good luck in 2010!

best wishes,

David

Can you view your error log and tell me what you are getting? Or turn on display errors in your php config. You are getting a fatal error at the latest comments block because that is where the page stops rendering. Try turning on comments plugin and activating it for news and entering a comment.

I need to know what the error is to help you further...
