Another Teaser
September 12th 2005
Needless to say, school has started and like I knew all along, development on ZP has slowed. I swear I want to get this first release out soon, but I just can’t make promises anymore. I have so many other things which are so unfortunately more important.
That said, I have tomorrow off, so maybe I’ll finish it all.
I have made several updates, including the ability to select the thumbnail for the album from its images, with a preview in 100% CSS-styled listbox goodness. The preview doesn’t work in Internet Explorer, but frankly, neither should you.
Also included are all sorts of updates to the admin control panel from Joen which I forgot to include in the last version.
Note: You may have to delete the zenphoto cookie from trisweb.com to log in, since I changed the cookie to remember multiple logins on multiple ZP installs on the same domain (a good thing ;-)). To do this in Firefox, go to Tools»Options»Privacy and find the “View Cookies” button. It’s actually harder to figure out in Firefox 1.5 beta, but about the same.
Update: I didn’t realize how much I would like being able to set the album thumbnail. I find it produces a much better-looking album index.
Fantastic work! The thumbnail selector is very nifty although it took me a few seconds too many to figure out you had to click on it for the menu to appear. I do hope to see a release coming up soon!
Beautiful!
I’ve been using 0.5 for my Wallpaper section for a few days now, and I’m loving it already. In my opinion, it’s so stable that you should focus tomorrow on flicking together a good installscript, and then release it as a 1.0 PR.
A few comments
What youre seeing there is an actual directory name of the actual directory where the images are stored. Any valid directory will work, even if it has spaces. I usually convert spaces to + which is the same in URL encoding but looks better.
When you upload via the web, I try to suggest a folder name with dashes ala wordpress clean urls.
But I wont restrict people to using whatever directory names they want. Its your choice if you dont want caps or spaces. Personally, I like using english directory names because when you upload via FTP, that becomes the albums initial title.
So thats my logic. Hope that explains everything.Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
I just wana get my hands on ZP already, I don’t care how stable it is, I wana play!
Oh c’mon with the previews already, it looks fine to me, lets get this show on the run dangit
Realy good!
I’ve been checkin out this website every day for about 2 weks since 0.5 release, waiting for available download. Couldnt U make current version available for testing.
