Thanks. He's quite a handful.

It's not quite working like it's supposed to.

If i add folders correctly, they are added to the db. Stats say i have 8 albums. They don't appear on the frontpage (or gallery archive).

This is what i found out:
I can reach them by entering the foldername in the url. -> www.nsrvphocas.nl/PhotoAlbum/1/
This albums has been on my frontpage. it is not anymore.
notice the link to "PhotoAlbum" at the top of the page. it redirects to xxx/page/2, instead of /PhotoAlbum/
on that /page/2/ i find the missing albums
From here you can reach the albums, but can't navigate to the album archive or frontpage

It appears to be a theme error. it lacks navigation between / and /page/2. and the links are problably missing some slashes.
I do find it strange that /index.php?p=archive does not display all. is this also theme defined?

Based on the link above, I see all 8 albums, and can navigate properly. It is currently the sterile theme. Which means it is more than likely theme related.

If you are talking about the stopdesign theme, then there are a few changes in that theme that can cause some difficulty for new users, since it "strays" from the original core files zenphoto uses, and adds an archive page.

So. You can either:

A. build on sterile for your custom theming, which is packaged in with zenphoto.
B. download the thinkdreams theme, which is a similar custom theme by myself and skwid and try that, which has some nifty features, but opens some other possible customization issues, and it is built from stopdesign
C. or build your own using the basic default theme as an example.

I would lean toward choice A, because it gives you a framework to build from. Making the thumbnails look like stopdesign is fairly easy, and I kind of like that "stretched" preview look myself. The sterile theme is also a no nonsense no frills theme from which to build and test, and helps to make sure everything works.

Anybody else have any suggestions?

I'm having the same problems. The pictures are there. I just can't see them...such a pity because I really like the layout of the software.

rnjonjo - can we have a link to your gallery? These things are usually very easily fixed, don't give up so easily

I'm having exactly the same problem . After the installation i've uploaded pictures. Zenphoto doesn't create the thumbs and links for subalbums. I've done all the '.htaccess', 'zp-config.php' and '777' stuff.

1.03 is working perfectly: ziemer.pl/gallery/
1.05 or 1.06 are wrong: ziemer.pl/zenphoto/

Here is my php info: ziemer.pl/zenphoto/info.php

I'm asking for a help, because I need the subalbums option.
Thanks for Your time!

mefio, your host has enabled SAFE_MODE -- you'll have to ask them to disable it.

Image output:
http://ziemer.pl/zenphoto/Childhood/image/thumb/old.JPG

Otherwise, 1.0.3 is your only option at this point. I'm working on a fallback, but it'll be a while...

BTW in my opinion, any host that enables PHP safe mode isn't worth paying for.

OK! Thanks a lot for help!
They've turned off the SAFE_MODE and the thumbs are there. But there is still problem with subalbums

Do U have some advice: www.ziemer.pl/zenphoto ?

;D
I've just read Your post:
"mod_rewrite is not ready for subalbums, you need to turn it off to use them."
and that was it!!!

Thanks once againg for Your help and support.
And thank U very much for all the hard work Tristan!

I ran into the same problem: installation went perfectly, I could access the admin page, and could even upload pictures. But I couldn't view them.

As a simple fix, do this: change the "$conf['mod_rewrite'] = true;" to be "$conf['mod_rewrite'] = false;"

You won't have "pretty" URLs, but you'll at least get to see your photos and albums.

Once I get the "basics" working, I'll go back and figure out what I want in the rewrite rules.

i have the same problem i think, and dont know what to do.. the files show in the ftp under albums but not in the gallery..

example:
http://www.sarah-karin.com/zenphoto/

and no thumbs and normal sized pictures

anyone who can explain it to me? and help?

i se it tries to get the thumbnail from a folder that dont exist.. it should get it from the folder album not the rootfolder i think
