    Having followed ZP closely, I know how much work you’ve put into this. Thanks a lot, zenphoto is everything I wanted it to be.

    Congratulations!

  2. Peter Commented at 2:46 am on September 15th 2005

    Congratulations! I’ve been following this on the side – via Joen – and it seems to be all we dreamt of. Great! You deserve some street cred.

  3. Tristan Commented at 2:46 am on September 15th 2005

    Thank you. I’ve had a great time working on this project, and I hope it’s useful to you and everyone else. Got a ways to go though, lots of kinks to work out. Hopefully it’ll be easier with beta testers :)

  4. Bubber Commented at 4:43 am on September 15th 2005

    Had to make absolute path instead of includes along the line of require_once(“/usr/home/web/web57746/zen/zen/classes.php”); instead of just require_once(“classes.php”); Open_Basedir resrictions in effect.

    After reconfiguring the .htaccess everything worked smooth as my daughters behind. congrats – looking forward for the upcoming releases.

  5. sergio Commented at 5:42 am on September 15th 2005

    there is a bug in the installation, it don´t let install

  6. sergio Commented at 6:26 am on September 15th 2005

    sorry the problem was nothing

  7. Levi Commented at 6:54 am on September 15th 2005

    Awesome mate, this really rocks. I’ll give you my “how it all went” soon, I’m downloading it now!

  8. Sjard Commented at 7:10 am on September 15th 2005

    Great, but I had some problems.

    I can’t use mod_rewrite. To make it work I had to change “album.php” to “index.php” in the template-functions.php.

    And the AJAX-Function doesn’t work. The title just changes to “Click to add a title…” after pressing the “Save”-Button and when I reload the page, I have the old title. Same problem with description.

  9. Grant Palin Commented at 8:19 am on September 15th 2005

    I can’t wait to try it, but I think I’ll let everyone else figure out the problems first! :-p

    Kidding aside, good stuff. Sounds as if you’re working your way towards a fully functional release before too long. And you’ll have some help now, what with sharing the source and taking comments and suggestions.

    Something I wonder, is it possible to set up an “entry page” for each subgallery? For example, look at Douglas Bowman’s Photo Gallery. Note when you choose a subgallery, you get a sort of intro page for that gallery, to get your interest. Can that be done?

  10. Reid Beels Commented at 9:00 am on September 15th 2005

    I’m working through the install process and I’ve noticed a couple of things.

    1.) Setup.php requires auth_zp.php, which requires functions-db.php, which requires functions.php, which requires config.php, which doesn’t exist yet because setup.php dies on the first line before it gets to checking for the file to exist on line 33 and therefore never told me to rename config.php.example

    2.) On mac os x, or other *nix systems, the .htaccess file is hidden and some ftp clients don’t notice it. One way to avoid this problem would be to have setup.php write .htaccess to the server after it gathers path information.

  11. Joen Commented at 10:06 am on September 15th 2005

    Not only did I get it working, but I’ve combined it with Wordpress, I’ve themed it, and I’ve used it twice:

    * Photography section
    * Wallpapers section

    Installation was a breeze. Theming was a breeze. Combining it with Wordpress so I can use both ZenPhoto and Wordpress template tags was a breeze.

    I love the ability to pick thumnails for album index.

    I only have one more wish:

    * The ability to sort albums manually and/or by date

    Currently I’m unsure just how albums are sorted, but it’s not by date.

  12. Stephane Commented at 10:08 am on September 15th 2005

    I’m having some of the same problems that were mentionned. Also I can only log into the admin area with the default login/password, if I change it, I can’t seem to get in for some reason…

  13. Joen Commented at 10:49 am on September 15th 2005

    Stephane, you’ve probably tried logging in to the zenphoto admin demo on this website. The cookies are called the same, so the zenphoto on YOUR website thinks you’ve got a screwed up cookie.

    In short: clean your cookies.

  14. Bryan Commented at 10:51 am on September 15th 2005

    I got it working for my website, but I had to 777 both albums and cache.

    The albums dir was easy to figure out, but it took me a bit to remember to 777 cache.

  15. Tristan Commented at 11:15 am on September 15th 2005

    Okay, let’s start from the top.

    Bubber – Great, I haven’t tested with open_basedir restrictions. Now I will. Glad you found a workaround. If you want you can use the SERVERPATH constant to get to the same place, and I’ll probably change the includes to use it now.

    Sjard – You’re right, those were wrong. I’ve changed them and will be updating the release now. AJAX bugs will be harder to debug, go ahead and open a bug report on berlios if you want.

    Grant – Perfectly possible – the theme is completely customizable. If you want to use the album description on a separate page which then leads to the thumbnail list, then you’re welcome to (that would require a bit of PHP fuddling, but not much).

    Reid – Will also be fixed in the new release I’m uploading now. I was getting session cookie errors and moved the require to the top without thinking. Now I check for config.php.

    Bryan – The setup.php would have given you those instructions had it been working right, and it will be in a minute.

    Thank you everyone for testing it out! If any of you ran into roadblocks like above then go ahead and try again with the new release, which should fix some things.

  16. rob Commented at 11:24 am on September 15th 2005

    dude I have been waiting for so long, thanks for all the hard work! Again in Munich BEER on me. let me know. been following this since your first post on Joen’s site. MY GOD WHAT GREAT WORK. Been playing with it for a while now! So simple so sweet so nice so ZEN!

    Thanks agian for all your hard work (opps said that already) and keep up the great work.

    PS: GOOD BYE FLICKR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Tristan Commented at 11:48 am on September 15th 2005

    You’re crackin me up Rob! Thanks!

    P.S: if you downloaded the 0.8.1 bugfix, it’s got a bad setup file. Either change the first line in setup.php to be a correct if statement (with the word ‘if’ – how could I forget that?) or download the new one, 0.8.2

  18. Grant Palin Commented at 1:03 pm on September 15th 2005

    Grant – Perfectly possible – the theme is completely customizable. If you want to use the album description on a separate page which then leads to the thumbnail list, then you’re welcome to (that would require a bit of PHP fuddling, but not much).

    That’s good to hear. I love that layout Bowman uses in his gallery, and would not mind being able to do something similar for my own. It’s Thursday now, and I’ll probably take a look at zp’s code on the weekend and start figuring it out.

  19. khaled Commented at 1:29 pm on September 15th 2005

    Man if you were in london I’d take you out and get your ass properly drunk. When you decide to come you’ve got a buddy over here. This is too cool.

  20. meeme Commented at 1:32 pm on September 15th 2005

    now obviously im doing smth wrong here..
    after following the instructions there’s a Login page telling me MySQL Error: Could not connect to the database server.
    No sign of Go button.

  21. could not connect message Commented at 2:47 pm on September 15th 2005

    thanks, tristan…this is really exciting.

    meeme…i had the same problem. have you edited the config.example file, renamed it to config, and uploaded it?

    also, although the commented areas there suggest that you should enter an admin password that you don’t mind being insecure, you probably need to use the same username and password you use to access your mysql database on your server. i did, anyway. guess i’ll try changing it to something innocuous in a bit.

    other catch i had to work out to get things sort of running was to edit .htaccess to show the correct path to the zenphoto installation. unless edited, the path to admin.php is through /zp/–

    (y’all please correct me on any of this if i’m wrong).

    had to create the album-folders manually and upload them. i couldn’t create them in the admin window…maybe because of that place field i didn’g understand. not sure why the album/folder creation didn’t work. no luck getting images to upload through the admin interface, either. don’t know why. the parent folder should be 777′d…

    anyway, then i tried creating uploaded some jpegs manually. their names showed, but previews didn’t. so i tried creating thumbnails and uploading them. their names showed up in the admin window too. but.

    haven’t been able to get my uploaded images to show on the gallery, with or without uploading thumbnails. (there’s a place field–i believe on the upload admin page–that i don’t understand.

    came back to see (at this stage) if i need to manually uploading primary images and thumbnails to specific directories. when i can get uploaded images to display either in the admin-upload window or the site view, i’ll try to figure out why i can’t upload through the browser.

    this kind of step-by-step tinkering is nothing i’m not used to, though. and the themes were a snap to tweak. fun.

    sorry this note isn’t too well structured. it’s been one of those days.

    good luck, everyone–

    john

  22. Tristan Commented at 2:56 pm on September 15th 2005

    John, that could be a couple things – could be the .htaccess path, could be that your PHP installation doesn’t have GD libs installed, could be the permissions on the cache folder are wrong, could be lots of other things. Show me your install and I might be able to help. My guess it it’s some permissions problem, probably related to the upload issues you’re having.

    You should never have to upload thumbs, and the Place field is just extra data, like the location you took the photos at.

    meeme – Check your database login information in the config.php file. It looks like you’ve edited and renamed it, but have the stuff wrong. And the “adminuser” and “adminpass” shouldn’t matter for that.

  23. khaled Commented at 3:34 pm on September 15th 2005

    Right I know the install went well, since the database got made no problemo. My problem seems to be right after, once I try and login, I get this error:

    Error: The ‘albums’ directory cannot be found or is not readable.

    Which I can’t understand since I’ve 777′d both the cache and the albums.

    The only think I can think of is maybe in my .htaccess file I should have the absolute path rather than just having /zp ?

    Also since I’m on Dreamhost, they’ve got a strange way of sorting things out (in case other are on DH). Absolute path, I believe (and please correct me if I’m wrong) is

    /home/username/yourwebsite.com/

  24. Bilal Commented at 3:59 pm on September 15th 2005

    Congratulations on the release! I’m gonna be installing it tomorrow and will let you know my thoughts on it!

    Thank you!

  25. john rieber Commented at 5:42 pm on September 15th 2005

    thanks, tristan…thanks, meeme.

    i checked (after uploading 0.8.2), and the cache folder’s permissions were 775. shouldn’t have been–my ftp client is supposed to 777 uploads automatically. but there you are.

    now everything’s showing up, zenphoto’s generating thumbnails, and i am a very happy person.

    again, thank you–

    john

  26. meeme Commented at 7:33 pm on September 15th 2005

    Well, i gave it another shot and got it working now. Looks like a had a wrong database host there..
    khaled – i’m on Dreamhost too, and the path u posted is indeed /home/username/whatever.com/ (unless u havent changed the web directory, which i have) And with DH u have to use the created hostname- localhost just wount work..

    Gonna try a whole thing later, im too tired to even think anymore at the moment. ZZzz…

  27. Matt Commented at 10:10 pm on September 15th 2005

    First of all thanks Tristan, I’ve been waiting this day for a long time.

    I need some help I figured out the install by trial and error…

    got it working until it told me that it was creating the tables in my database. the tables were created correctly.

    after its done it ask you if you want to acces your albums or administrate but none of those link works..

    it give me this error:
    ALBUMS
    Error: The ‘albums’ directory cannot be found or is not readable.

    ADMINISTRATE
    The page cannot be found

    what is wrong ??

    could it be :
    // The path to zenphoto on the server – e.g. /home/user/public_html/zenphoto. No trailing slash/
    $conf['serverpath'] = “/photo”;

    I,m using IIS with mysql and the zenphoto files are in the PHOTO folder WWWROOT.

    Any help would be appreciated

  28. Joen Commented at 12:58 am on September 16th 2005

    Grant,

    That’s good to hear. I love that layout Bowman uses in his gallery, and would not mind being able to do something similar for my own. It’s Thursday now, and I’ll probably take a look at zp’s code on the weekend and start figuring it out.

    I plan to do the exact same thing with my photography section. I imagine it to be fairly straightforward. I won’t get time to do it in the near future though, so if you find a solution, I’d appreciate your experiences on it. Of course if I jump into it I’ll share as well :)

  29. Stephane Commented at 6:06 am on September 16th 2005

    I finally got my whole thing set up and it looks great! I had a little trouble with the config.php but in the end it turned out to be just a stupid mistake. Anyway, here’s my gallery if you want to give it a look.

    http://s.angoulvant.net/

    One feature request though: there needs to be a way to delete pictures from within ZP.

  30. khaled Commented at 8:15 am on September 16th 2005

    Okay Tristan tried to help me out here, but I’m think this has got something to do with the way Dreamhost does things. Hopefully we’ll crack it and I can write a post about installing zp on DH.

    Now my config file looks like so. I’ve decided to put the install in pictures.


    $conf['gallery_title'] = "Pictures";
    // For a link back to your main site
    $conf['main_site_name'] = "Broken Kode";
    $conf['main_site_url'] = "http://www.brokenkode.com/";

    // If you're in a different time zone from your server, set the offset in hours:
    $conf['time_offset'] = 0;

    // Tags allowed in comments
    $conf['allowed_tags'] = "

    ";

    // The path to zenphoto on the server - e.g. /home/user/public_html/zenphoto. No trailing slash/
    $conf['serverpath'] = " /home/username/brokenkode.com/pictures";

    // The URL of zenphoto from the domain root. - e.g. 'http://www.yoursite.com/zenphoto'
    // (or '/zenphoto' in that case). No trailing slash/
    $conf['webpath'] = '/pictures';

    That’s what I have here, and then in the htaccess file I’ve got the following:


    # !!! Change this to the absolute path !!!
    RewriteBase /pictures

    What I get is the following error:
    Error: The ‘albums’ directory cannot be found or is not readable.

    Anyone have any ideas what I’m doing wrong? The database has been built, and the login works, except the second I go into the admin section I get the above comment.

  31. Tristan Commented at 10:41 am on September 16th 2005

    Khaled and anyone else getting that error, it’s most definately a problem with the ’server_path’.

    On dreamhost, you have to replace the word ‘username’ with your actual username. Usually that’s what you do with anything that says ‘username’ by the way ;-)

  32. Tristan Commented at 10:43 am on September 16th 2005

    Also, I’m going to work on getting those paths out of the process for the next reease. I’m pretty sure I can just detect them.

  33. Levi Commented at 11:01 am on September 16th 2005

    Also, I’m going to work on getting those paths out of the process for the next reease. I’m pretty sure I can just detect them.

    Yeah, like in the WordPress ‘Upload Settings’ page. It’s easy, just a simply PHP function. :)

    I’ve installed the script, it works great. Didn’t take long to have up and running, but now I’ve got two major feature suggestions that will probably take forever to be put in, but I’ll say them anyway.

    Tags – We love them, it’s what makes flickr so rockin!

    Sub-categories – It’d be a nice addition

    Otherwise the script is fantastic, I love how it’s such a tiny ZIP file take no time to download or install!! :)

    I’ll be working on some themes and plugins/hacks soon. :) I can’t wait for more zenPhoto goodness!! :D Nice work mate.

    ~ Levi

  34. meeme Commented at 11:21 am on September 16th 2005

    Heureka!;) Finally its all working here. The main problem i had, was that no thumbs where showing up and all the links gave me 404. Looks like .htaccess file was the key. RewriteBase absolute path have to be just /yourzenphotodirectory (not /home/blabla/etc..) Now everything works, like it should.
    Khaled – most definately u have a wrong path there. https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=domain.web&
    From there u can figure out your http username and web directory..

  35. khaled Commented at 6:40 pm on September 16th 2005

    And FINALLY I got it working. Thanks guys for all your help. I’d actually gotten that part of the install correct (ie my username), the part that didn’t seem to want to play ball was this section:

    // The URL of zenphoto from the domain root. – e.g. ‘http://www.yoursite.com/zenphoto’
    // (or ‘/zenphoto’ in that case). No trailing slash/
    $conf['webpath'] = ‘/pictures’;

    I was actually putting the full domain name rather than just /pictures which for some reason or other wasn’t making it work. I’ll effectively write something proper for Dreamhost installs as it’s got a few minor quirks compared to standard hosts :) . Again thanks for the help guys, thanks for all the work Tristan, now to plug this thing big time :) .

  36. Derek Commented at 6:42 pm on September 16th 2005

    I’ve got zenphoto running on my website at:
    http://prioritized.net/photos/

    So far so good. Just trying to decide how much additional storage I’m going to need to buy in order to store all my photos on my webserver versus flickr…

  37. Sjard Commented at 10:47 pm on September 16th 2005

    I had more problems getting it to work on a web space without this .htaccess-rewrite thing. I will open a bug-report on your berlios page about this problem.
    Also I will open a bug report for the ajax-problem i wrote about earlier, but i really don’t know what i can write to help you fix the problem.

  38. Levi Commented at 10:56 pm on September 16th 2005

    Hey Tristan,

    Well, I’ve just been playing with my zenphoto installation and I’ve already got one new theme and a custom hack going. I’m very impressed with the code so far, it’s quite clean for a beta. Fantastc work.

    So my theme is Default (Dark) (1.0) which is a darkened modified version of Joen’s ‘Default’ theme (if you couldn’t figure that one out already). It’s only a modification to the zen.css file, so it’s pretty simple.

    Demo Theme Here (may or may not be up because I’m using that installation to devlop my plugins/hacks and new themes)

    View Screenshot

    Download Theme (16Kb)

    Now my hack plugin is quite simple, it’s just a very basic addition to the thumbnail generation script. It just lets me make square thumbnails as big (or small) as I like. Uses simple URL to generate it and creates it’s own special cache files so as not to interfere with other thumbs.

    ../self/thumbx/200/IMG_7263.jpg creates a 200 x 200 square thumbnail for example. Very simple but it’s useful, I use it to generate 96×96 images to use as my MSN display pictures. :)

    I’m about to start working on a original theme that will utilize a second hack that I’m developing.

    Great work Tristan, I’m loving it so far!

    ~ Levi

  39. Levi Commented at 11:18 pm on September 16th 2005

    Ok, I’ve got another new hack coming along, it’s more custom image sizing stuff, nothing too exciting. But I just wanted to say there’s a bit of a page bug on the main index page. I reduced the ‘albums per page’ to 2 and when on page 3/2 the count-down doesn’t work proeprly and you can’t get back down pages… I’ll ahve a look myself in a moment and see if I can fix that one for you.

    Also AJAX isn’t working, has it been disabled for the moment? I don’t think my cookies are working right, I’ll have a look.

    ~ Levi

  40. Tristan Commented at 12:46 am on September 17th 2005

    Levi, thanks for diving into the code (and for the compliment – I did a lot of planning to make sure it was clean). I’d love to add you to the developers on berlios if you’d like, after I see some of the code you’ve written. Seems like you have more time than I do at the moment.

    I like your new theme and will include it in the next release. Also wouldn’t mind adding that thumb size stuff. It’s not a bad feature to have.

    If anyone else wants to help with development or bug fixing, e-mail me at the obvious address.

    I’m also working on getting an install of bbPress up so we can have discussion threads instead of random babbling in blog comments (though it’s not too bad yet ;-) )

  41. sergio Commented at 3:02 am on September 17th 2005

    someone has tried to do a plug-ing for wordpress?

  42. Levi Commented at 5:57 am on September 17th 2005

    Sterile Theme v1.0 – 22kb
    Yeah, did up a new one. This one has a two column layout and is pretty sexy if you ask me. :)

    Tristan,
    I think there is a issue with cookies and subdomains. The AJAX wont show up and the “Admin” link wont show up at the bottom, though it’s remembering my session fine when I get into the actual admin panel. I’m not sure what’s going on there.

    hi again, and thanks again…many thanks. i’m happy. i’ve got an installation running here, with a clumsily modified version of joen’s elegant theme. (and thank you, joen.)

    with a grand total of one gallery and two pictures up, i can’t say i’ve acidtested it, and i’m still trying to figure out, csswise, why the img border styling doesn’t carry through to the album thumbnail. but i am happy and grateful, and looking forward to really integrating the gallery with my wordpress installation. zenphoto was totally worth the wait.

    I’m trying to get this running on my local machine, Windows XP with Apache. I was able to get through the setup without errors, but am getting the much-dreaded albums error…I can do http://localhost/zenphoto/index.php, so the files are in the right place.

    My config.php has the following:

    // The path to zenphoto on the server – e.g. /home/user/public_html/zenphoto. No trailing slash/
    $conf['serverpath'] = “/zenphoto”;

    // The URL of zenphoto from the domain root. – e.g. ‘http://www.yoursite.com/zenphoto’
    // (or ‘/zenphoto’ in that case). No trailing slash/
    $conf['webpath'] = ‘/zenphoto’;

    Is that correct? I wonder about the first one, since I’m on Windows and not Linux. Although it will eventually end up on my site on DreamhHost.

  48. Matt Commented at 3:45 pm on September 17th 2005

    Hello,

    I’m still having some problems, I’m able to create the tables in the database but after that I don’t have acces to the site, I get this message: Error: The ‘albums’ directory cannot be found or is not readable.

    I think it is because I’m tring to install this on a windows IIS server and not apache. Anyone succeeded to instal on IIS server??
    PHP is instal , my sql too … wordpress works perfectly

    Pls help I would really like to install this very nice photo gallery on my web site.

    Thank you !

  49. Grant Palin Commented at 3:46 pm on September 17th 2005

    Hmm, despite my previous post about having difficulties running the gallery on my local machine, getting it to run on my website was a snap. See my new gallery! So far, so good. I’ve uploaded some photos already, and really enjoy the web-based interface for adding labels and descriptions…much better than the text file-based method of Simple PHP Gallery!

    I have read comments on here about having sub-galleries…I would like to echo that, as some of my photos would be better grouped by an overall gallery and also in subgalleries. Is that ability going to be forthcoming?

  50. Matt Commented at 3:50 pm on September 17th 2005

    I think the problem is that IIS does not work with .htaccess file ….

  51. Grant Palin Commented at 4:26 pm on September 17th 2005

    Matt, I believe that htaccess is an Apache thing, I don’t know if there’s an equivalent for IIS. But there is an option in config.php to use mod rewrite (via an .htaccess file) for the pretty URLs. Try setting that to false, and see if it works.

  52. Grant Palin Commented at 4:29 pm on September 17th 2005

    And I figured out the problem I was having before with running the gallery locally. I had to set the server path to zenphoto to match the physical folder directory:

    // The path to zenphoto on the server – e.g. /home/user/public_html/zenphoto. No trailing slash/
    $conf['serverpath'] = “D:\public_html\gallery”;

    And it works now. But I’m missing the images! Poking around now.

  53. Luke Commented at 5:34 pm on September 17th 2005

    I’m also having this problem:

    Error: The ‘albums’ directory cannot be found or is not readable.

    And everything seems right, to me.

    :(

  54. Tristan Commented at 5:54 pm on September 17th 2005

    htaccess is an apache config override, and mod_rewrite is an Apache module, so you should turn that off in config.php for IIS.

    Also, my development environment is Win Apache2/PHP/MySQL, so it should work on Windows fine.

    For everybody having the Error: The ‘albums’ directory cannot be found or is not readable. – It means you have your SERVER_PATH wrong! The server path is the full file path to the zenphoto directory on your server — to find this, you can use your FTP or SSH program to look at the path, or you can upload a ‘test.php’ file into your zenphoto directory with this one line:

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

    in it, and visit it. In the environment variables, it shows you the path to that test.php file on the server, which is what you should use.

    I’m getting forums working tomorrow. Until then, please try to keep support requests down. :)

  55. Matt Commented at 9:40 pm on September 17th 2005

    i,m not using apache will it still work ?

    I,ll try your php info thingy

    thank you for taking the time to reply tristan!

  56. Matt Commented at 10:09 pm on September 17th 2005

    Yeehaa thanks for your help!!

    It is now working. I’m not a pro in this kind of stuff, I learn all by myself by trial and error.

    you were right I had the wrong server path:
    c:\inetpub\wwwroot\zenphoto is what I needed !!

    One last thing I can’t figure out :

    In the default theme the link to the admin-area doesn’t work and needed to be changed to “/zen/admin.php” (this was posted as a bug report but which file do I need to edit to change this?

    thank you

    Sorry to bother again , can someone look at my site and tell me what is wrong with my thumbnails??

    http://www.mattgalarneau.com/zenphoto

    The other weird thing is that when I try to create a new album it gives me this error message : c:\inetpub\wwwroot\zenphoto/albums/testalbum
    Album testalbum does not exist.

    but if I manually create the folder before posting then it works ??

  59. Matt Commented at 10:39 pm on September 17th 2005

    I just resolved the above mentioned problem too

    needed write permision to albums and cache folder

    There seems to be only one thing that is still not working :
    Click here to add a title or click here to add a description does not work??
    is it only for me or for everybody?

    thank you !

  60. Sjard Commented at 12:16 am on September 18th 2005

    @Matt

    This seems to be a problem for those who use zenphoto with mod_rewrite turned off – I have the same problem and it seems to be a bug.

    If you can use on your webspace mod_rewrite (.htaccess-festures) than try to set mod_rewrite to “true” in your config.php and write the correct path information in the .htaccess file.

    I think that they will solve the problem in a next release.

  61. Joey Commented at 2:46 am on September 18th 2005

    Great script, I love it. But unfortunately, I can’t get it working on my Dreamhost subdomain. Everything is setted up okay, but it still give me this error:

    Error: The 'albums' directory cannot be found or is not readable.

    Can somebody help me?

    OK, i played around with it for 2 days and it works just fine except one thing: Whe I try to upload files via the admin interface I get this error: Warning: move_uploaded_file(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect….

    Looking via FTP inside the albums folder everything is 777 so i don’t really understand why it shouts out the error. i’m not really a php guru.

    Awesome!! I was just looking for something like this, less function, less weighed, not like Copper… Actually, I had spent a lot of time to figure out how to set up OK, things like people above have already said. However, it’s alright right now. I’m thinking of giving smoe installation instrucions on my own blog, but in Japanese though… Anyway, Great Work!!

    This looks full of promise to me (I’ve been looking for something like this for a while), but there’s one major issue I have with it.

    You’ve used PHP short tags throughout the gallery, which makes for a pretty hellish time getting it running on a server which doesn’t support short tags (this is the recommended setup by the guys at php.net). I understand this is just a beta, but since it’s so easy to fix (just change `

  70. Tristan Commented at 1:48 pm on September 18th 2005

    Half of those were just support threads, Joen. ;-)

    We now have support forums online at zenphoto.org/support. Please post there if you need help, and only post comments and links to your galleries on this and future blog posts. Thanks!

  71. Tristan Commented at 2:00 pm on September 18th 2005

    Dominic – easily done and with good reason. I’ll take care of it and add it to the theme guidelines.

  72. Jan Commented at 7:40 am on September 19th 2005

    Thanks for such an amazing gallery! I installed it this weekend with some minor issues (which were caused by my own stupidity) but it’s up and running now and boy is it running smoothly! I love the gallery’s simplicity. It has all the important features and it’s really easy to use. Two thumbs up! I’m one happy camper!

  73. Giordano Commented at 8:15 am on September 19th 2005

    Pretty cool tool. Not too hard to install if you follow the directions. Server path thing got me, so I was glad to see the support post about it. Thanks for a cool script.

    Patietly waiting for more themes…or to figure out how to add it to my site outline.

  75. drazin Commented at 8:32 am on September 20th 2005

    i got it up and running on my site.
    http://www.drazin.org/zenphoto

    i have a gallery using gallery2 with over 6000 pictures. i dont like it very much and am considering switching to this software. how do you think zenphoto would handle 6000+ pics in 80+ albums?

    also…where would i start to edit to get zenphoto inside my framework(my nav and backgrounds and stuff)….

  76. Tristan Commented at 11:14 am on September 20th 2005

    Very cool drazin. I like what you’ve done with the larger thumbnails and stuff.

    I’ve never tested zenphoto with that many pictures, but there’s no reason it shouldn’t work. ;-) Let me know how it goes or if you run into trouble.

    What you want to do to match your design is to make a theme out of it. You basically just have to get the HTML of your design and stick the zenphoto tags in it (look at some of the included themes to see how). I’ll have better documentation up someday.

  77. Jimmy Commented at 11:43 am on September 20th 2005

    Zen Photo is amazing. After being thoroughly dissatisfied with Gallery2 and Coppermine, This software is a breath of fresh air.

    Easy install (a few stupid mistakes on my part), Simple appearance, and flexible image management (I love the ftp option!).

    Everything you need, nothing you don’t!

    Thanks very much!

  78. Charlene Commented at 1:03 pm on September 20th 2005

    I spent 4 hours one day trying out 10 or so photo programs. All of them too hefty or not enough features and hard to customize templates. I was about to cry I was so frustrated. And then I found this program a week later and it is perfect! Exactly what I was looking for.

  79. drazin Commented at 1:32 pm on September 20th 2005

    thats cool im glad you like it. i like the big thumbnails…

    I hope you can keep the simplicity and lightness in tact as you move on. They are the real virtues of your young program.

    By the way, Tristan! how can I localize your program into Korean?

  82. moloko Commented at 8:20 am on September 21st 2005

    just installed this script. I had to make some changes to the config.php to make it work correctly. For those having difficulties use the phpinfo page and it will tell you the paths.

    Only issue I have is clicking administate is incorrect. I have to manually input the path to get to admin.

    Lots of great sites using this gallery. And there are some sweet skins coming about.

    After playing around for a few days with the default theme, I’ve gotten zenphoto integrated into the look/feel of my new site design.

  99. Rick Silletti Commented at 2:48 pm on October 1st 2005

    The features already available with Zenphoto continue to suprise me. I moved Zenphoto to a subdirectory on Codevillain because the htaccess won’t allow you to install anything else in the same directory with it. Wonderful fun though.
    Are you using SubVersion?

  100. Tristan Commented at 8:12 pm on October 1st 2005

    Maps – Je comprends le Francais, si tu le prefère. :)

    And I am looking into the hi-res stuff, but it’s hard because I can’t reproduce it.

    Rick – Yes, it is best to install it in a subdirectory; otherwise the rewritten URLs could conflict. If you want it at the base directory though, with only ZP installed on your site, it should work.

    P.S – Woo! 100 comments!

    I am really impressed with this product. The most impressive was how fully realized the admin part is. It has the intelligence of Coppermine, but it’s not as bulky, complicated, or frightening. It’s also much nicer than other photo galleries I’ve tried to use.

    My first impression is that I’m definately going to use this.

    Being able to upload your photos to the albums folder and having it auto-detect is fabulous. I also agree with the comment above by WP. Please offer album sorting and photo sorting options in a future release, such as sort alphabetically, by date taken, by date submitted, etc.

    Thanks for writing zenphoto.

  106. ToddP Commented at 5:47 pm on October 8th 2005

    Finally got ZP installed. Found a bit of time this w/e to make it happen. I love it! Great software is always simple to the user. This is sweet!

    Here’s the gallery:

    http://www.luckyspin.org/gallery/

    By the way, still using 0.8, with a minor mod to template-functions.php. I changed line 184 in printAdminLink function to:

    printLink(WEBPATH.’/zen/admin.php’, $text, $title, $class, $id);

    Couldn’t get 0.9 to work =(

  107. cloudhopper Commented at 12:29 am on October 11th 2005

    This really is very slick. Well done! :o )

    I was struggling to get zenphoto installed and was about to give up when I decided to give it one more go. The problems were all mine – but I come from a Wordpress bias and am used to one-click installs, etc. *grin* My problems, incidentally, were all down to FTP user problems – files uploading and apparently there but simply not accessible. Did it all again with the admin FTP user and all went sweet.

    I didn’t understand the .htaccess stuff, but eventually sussed it – some examples in the instructions might help others like me.

    Once I’d cracked the above.. wow! So nice.

    Still playing with it (here: http://www.itzademo.com/gallery ~ I won’t leave the gallery here for ever, it’s just my tyr-it-and-see location).

    Some early observations (none of which signify expectation on yourself, simply observation!):

    * Admin view – it would be nice to be able to see gallery description in this view perhaps?
    * Nice to be able to choose the gallery thumbnail – perhaps a random thumbnail option for each gallery?
    * The ability to upload via the admin panel is sweet – I’m thinking of internet cafés & holidays
    * Additional on the upload – the upload boxes seem a little small – can’t see the full image names in them – awkward when slogging through a list from (say) a CF card
    * Might be nice to have a comments option at gallery level?
    * When no comments – display “no comments yet” – want to make one? And perhaps a collapsible view of comments? (I realise this is probably theme stuff – just thinking aloud).
    * Tighter integration with Wordpress (admin and themes) in the future would be bliss!

    Bottom line? Nice, very, very nice. To where do I send the cold beer? :o )

  108. joe Commented at 10:50 am on October 11th 2005

    Great!

    I have very little relevant experience and I got it up and running within an hour.

    As has been said many times before, sorting would be nice. As well as the ability to install in the root folder.

    Private gallery, no link. (sorry).

  109. Aadesh Commented at 11:48 pm on October 14th 2005

    ZenPhoto ROCKS!! Its’ i guess much better than the Photostack, as it doesnt have the cropped thumbnail feature.

    I have used the Douglas Brown’s Gallery theme.

    Check out my photogallery on http://www.idizyn.com/albums and leave behind your comments :)

  110. Fichben Commented at 1:14 am on October 15th 2005

    I really enjoy this programm, and i translate the admin.php in french, so my friends can use it to upload on line there own postal card.
    Of course, i have problem with the .htaccess, so i dont use it.
    Just one feature i really would like: how to sort the albums, and the foto inside ??? that will be great ! and i would like to disable the comments stuff under every picture.

    Well, i have to correct something in the admin.php: you write 5 or 6 time: /admin/ for going back to the admin interface, i have to put /zen/admin.php and its works fine

  112. Vil Commented at 10:38 am on October 15th 2005

    Just got ZenPhoto set up on my site. I’m still trying to get it integrated with WordPress at the moment, but hopefully will have that sorted out soon. So far I really like ZenPhoto though! It’s a great balance of features and simplicity. Thanks for taking the time to write it and especially for making it available.

    A few suggestions/enhancement requests:
    * Make it support nested albums.
    * Sort albums by the date of the photos they contain, rather than the order they were added.
    * Group albums by year, like Picasa does.
    * Make it easier to integrate with WordPress. That seems to be a fairly common request, maybe it could be included in the set up process?

    Also, for some reason (something to do with the way my ISP has configured their PHP installation?) the value of $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] was always just a slash followed by the base filename. Once I changed config.php to use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead things started working properly.

  113. Roderick Montgomery Commented at 9:35 am on October 17th 2005

    Tristan, thanks! I’ve been keeping tabs on Zenphoto since June, when I saw your comment on binarybonsai.com. I’ll be using this as a private gallery for family photos, so there’s no public link. Today I tried 0.9-beta, and hit just a couple minor snags:

    * The database user requires ALTER permissions. I normally don’t grant ALTER or DROP to scripted web application users, but in my lust to try Zenphoto again I made an exception.

    * The RewriteBase directive in the .htaccess file doesn’t like to be the webroot (/). It only worked properly when I moved the entire zenphoto installation down one directory and changed it to “RewriteBase /gallery/”. I later noticed your comment to this effect (problems installing in subdomains or root folders) in the support forum.

    Looks great, though — excellent work!

  114. Tristan Commented at 10:11 am on October 17th 2005

    Roderick – I believe it only requires alter permissions for running the setup and upgrade scripts. If you want I can include the SQL in the release so you can do it manually as well. And the base-directory bugs are fixed, just not released quite yet. I’ve got three or four more I want to squash.

    Thanks for your comments though! I think this page is getting a bit long… maybe I’ll direct people to a different post.

    Hey there Tristan, thanks for writing ZenPhoto. I have been looking for a really dead simple gallery program that allows for easy uploading but also easy to customize and I find ZenPhoto fits my needs. I have written in the support forum for support for multiple thumbnails forwards and backwards on the image page and i managed to write it on my own. You can check out the results at: http://www.andresrojas.com/zp/

    I think this is going really well and you’re going a wonderful job. Please keep it up. Thanks.

    Finally. Beautiful and simple (I just missed being able to rotate images, but that’s my problem). I love it! I set up with only human errors. It is at dinobisk.com.

    Zenphoto = great.

    I changed the default theme (made it darker and wider) and I added thumbnails below the main image for navigation.

    check out the demo, and download!

    I was looking for a gallery which I could upload images by FTP or web interface, where deletion is as easy as pressing [DEL] key.

    Zenphoto is exactly what I needed. I love updating it.

    A better authentification (with Mysql) and more themes would be great.

    I’m waiting for the final release with some more features. This gallery is wonderful, I love it. And I use it !

    Installed at http://lorello.it/foto

    I had some problems with open_basedir restrictions, solved adding full path to include/require.

    I’d modified i.php also because i’ve not gd2:

    removed:

    $thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($neww, $newh);
    imagecopyresampled($thumb, $im, 0, 0, 0, 0, $neww, $newh, $w, $h);

    and added:

    $thumb = imagecreate ($neww, $newh);
    imageJPEG($thumb,SERVERCACHE."/temp.jpg");
    $thumb = @imagecreatefromjpeg(SERVERCACHE."/temp.jpg"); imagecopyresized($thumb, $im, 0, 0, 0, 0, $neww, $newh, $w, $h);

  122. Steve Commented at 6:08 pm on October 24th 2005

    Wow, what a cool photo gallery! I love that it makes the thumbnails on the fly. It was really easy to configure and I like the feel of the entire set-up. One thing I’d like to do is create a new template or somehow embed it into the current theme I have in my website. More to come on that one. Thanks!

  125. Craig Hartel Commented at 6:04 pm on October 31st 2005

    I was excited to hear about ZenPhoto, but was only able to get to a login screen and that was it. I spent a couple of hours on the support forums and re-re-redoing everything, only to be thwarted at a login screen. Like many things with WordPress, when it works, it’s great. When it doesn’t work, it’s an utter waste of time. I just wasted two hours of my life for nothing.

  126. Tristan Commented at 3:58 pm on November 1st 2005

    I’m sorry you had trouble Craig. Remember that it’s free software, and it’s a *developer* release.

    You just gave me some valuable information though – it needs to be smoother and better in the setup area – so thank you, and I’m sorry for wasting two hours of your life.

    On a completely philosophical note, hours are only wasted if you convince yourself they are. Also, zenphoto doesn’t respond well to negativity – that might have been your problem.

  127. Craig Hartel Commented at 4:26 pm on November 1st 2005

    Tristan,
    Apologies for my bitchiness. I know that you have put an enormous amount of time and effort into this project, and if I had the skills to contribute I certainly would. That you and others like you provide this kind of application for free speaks highly of you all.

    And in response to your comment regarding negativity, you are 100% correct; NOTHING responds well to it.

    Cheers to you, Tristan.

  128. Josh Commented at 2:54 pm on November 2nd 2005

    Tristan,

    Very interesting, and no, I haven’t yet seen any spam. Just means I’ll have to add some countermeasures…

  130. Erv Walter Commented at 9:08 pm on November 4th 2005

    I just wanted to mention that I successfully installed the latest package on my site and it was very easy. Thanks for the great tool! I have more that I need to do with themeing, but I have it basically “integrated” with the rest of my site (not really integrated, just uses similar markup to look like they are seemless).

    I did add a call to sort() in the function that gets images, because it wasn’t actually showing them in sorted order by filename. On my host, at least, it appeared to just be the order that the OS returned the files (which was unpredictable).

    Now, I just need to get the rest of my content in there.

    Thanks again, and I look forward to furthur versions!

  131. Cyril Commented at 3:26 am on November 7th 2005

    I’ve just installed zenphoto this weekend and I’m well impressed. It probably took me half an hour to get it to work properly.

    Here are the few problems I remember having:
    * .htaccess: I read the support forum regarding ‘RewriteBase’, and still wasn’t sure about what to set it to. As a first attempt I decided to leave the rest of the line blank and it worked for me… hence the comment “Change this to the absolute path” doesn’t seem entirely true.
    * admin.php: I had to replace all instances of /admin/ with /zen/admin.php
    * config.php: Should I set ‘mod_rewrite’ to true or false? Not sure as I use a hosting company, so tried both and ‘false’ worked best.
    * config.php: Value for ‘mysql_host’… I followed the comment “Probably won’t need to change this” and zenphoto couldn’t find my database. I figured that I ought to set it to the IP address of my database server, as given by my hosting company, and it all worked perfectly. If the comment had been more specific I wouldn’t have wasted 2 minutes of my life ;-)

    Thanks for such a great tool!

  132. lou Commented at 8:50 pm on November 13th 2005

    I installed Zan Photo about a week ago, it’s pretty good, love the browse and edit feature.

    What’s missing is a “real” options page, where we can edit the configuration variables.
    The other thing would be a better installation guide.. Hopefully both of the above will be included in the final version.

    All in all, I am digging it:)

    thanks so much for the hard work. i was using another php based gallery and was constantly frustrated with the bloated code. many sleepless nights wrestling to get it to work as i wanted and it still was just halfway there. zenphoto on the other hand took me less than 20 minutes to have it using my theme for wordpress (posted over at the forum now). it just works. well done.

  134. Guilherme Pinto Commented at 10:22 am on November 18th 2005

    Great script. It is all I wanted. Just upload a folder and your gallery is set. Thank you so much. I have not set up the final gallery yet, and only have a single test album. I did not see a way in the UI to remove an album. Is there one, or do I need to use SQL for that? Hopefully the final version will have a way to do it in the UI and remove all pictures, comments for a specific album, as well as delete that album entry from the DB.

  137. Daniel Frei Commented at 8:52 pm on November 22nd 2005

    After a bit of working.. I have grown fond of ZenPhoto. I downloaded it. Attempted to install it. Had troubles getting past the login screen. Modified a few lines and made it to the install. Once the install was done.. I couldnt access anything. PhotoAlbum not found or not readable… or whatever that error was..
    I started installing a few other photo galleries.. Started using photostack but after about 15 hours of attempting to write a comment script for it(I am not a programmer by the way), I gave up and tried once again to get zenphoto working.
    I honestly dont remember all that I did but I modified the admin.php alot..(still am), i.php and many others just to get it to work right.. That was on a windows IIS 6 machine. I did the same install on apache on linux server and it flew no problem so I would say the setup for windows needs some work. I am running it off IIS since apache is not my live server and it is working. I am missing functionlity in admin control panel which I am working on getting back.
    And now after 3 days of css hell.. I have it successfully integrated into wordpress(the WP theme I am using was not friendly) After about a total of about 35 hours of modding php files and css files I gotta say I love it and it was worth every hour. I am still working out some of the quirks but great job Tristan, this is well on its we to being the simplest full featured photoalbum available(And in my search.. I tried about 20 – 25 gallery scripts… and yours came out on top.

    Just yesterday I stumbled on ZenPhoto – and let me say it is exactly what I’ve been looking for. A simple to install yet elegantly designed photo site. Something Flickr like in look, but where I can store my photos on my own server.

    The basic installation went pretty well (I messes up the .htaccess file once, but that was easy to fix), then quickly installed it for my brothers as well. Great job.

    Is there a list of theme out there yet? This one’s nearly perfect, but it’s always fun to tweek the look.

  143. Kri Commented at 3:43 am on December 2nd 2005

    Even though it’s just a sort of pre-release, I’m really pleased with ZenPhoto so far. This is the first photo gallery application that I’ve found to suit my needs so far. It has basic features, yet isn’t too complicated. What I’m really happy with is the easy updating. I like the ability to completely control my theme (something I’ve noticed hard to find), the easy create folder or upload photos and it’s in the album, and even a comments feature.

    Great work! I look forward to seeing improved versions of ZenPhoto.

  144. Darren Commented at 11:02 am on December 3rd 2005

    Installed .9 beta. It says .8 on site but was the .9 I downloaded.

    After doing the first page of setup I logged in, it tried to redirect to gallery/zen/zen/setup.php
    so took an extra /zen out.

  145. Isaac Commented at 2:31 pm on December 3rd 2005

    Installed 0.9, and it does most of what I want. It seperates images into albums, which I’m very happy about (I tried pixelpost right before zenphoto). The cache system is great, it seems smarter than the way my script did it.
    I’m trying to replace my old gallery script, IG, which has a bug which occasionally puts it into an apparent infinite loop, eating up all the processing power on whatever server it runs on. I didn’t want to contaminate the new server which such a script, so here I am trying to replace it. Zenphoto is a good replacement except that at the moment it lacks sorting capability. I would like to sort by EXIF date as I did before. Oh yeah, that and I can’t delete anything without using a remote terminal.
    I’d like to say that config.php is a poor way of setting options. Most of the options in config.php should be configurable via the web interface.
    One fun thing is that I was able to port my random image perl script to dealing with zenphoto, as you can see on the front page of my website :)

  146. Jarrod Commented at 4:11 pm on December 3rd 2005

    Hey,

    I just found out about ZenPhoto and I really like it. I’ve been working on getting Gallery2 installed on my site, but I’m really starting to like the light footprint of ZenPhoto. I’ve successfully installed it on my sandbox server and once I get a theme going, I’ll put it on my site.

  150. Alex Commented at 1:28 pm on December 11th 2005

    I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why this didn’t work for me and was almost ready to give up when I noticed that access to .htaccess files was turned off in Apache. Enabling that fixed things. Had to bump memory limits up a bit as well. Now it works great.

  151. Joni Mueller Commented at 1:45 pm on December 11th 2005

    She’s baaaaack! With yet another Gallery conversion to Zen Photo.

    And dumped another 70MB of bloated programming and extraneous images! Yayness.

  152. Joni Mueller Commented at 1:48 pm on December 11th 2005

    @ Gizmo: Since I had preexisting Gallery albums, I just copied over the images into a newly created folder in my albums directory, via FTP. It’s faster than using the web based interface.

    So I guess that for now, that’s the best (and only) way to delete images in each album. (Deleting an album is easy, just nuke the folder.)

    HTH.

    I’ve been watching your progress with zenphoto since over the summer, and am very impressed with the results. I finally found a place to use it (for my own personal gallery), and it’s working perfectly. It took only something like an hour to tweak the theme and integrate with the rest of my site.

    I’d like to echo the request for RSS, and am looking forward in particular to future integration with WordPress. It would be really great if zenphoto could allow WordPress users at different user levels to easily attach a photo to a post, or upload a photo to a new or old zenphoto album right from the “post” page.

    Really nice work so far, Tristan.

    This is the second install so my second post. This time though on a linux server and MAN what a difference. It was an install and roll. the only file I had to edit was the htaccess file for my path. Everything in the admin panel works great. The linux install is great,
    (http://www.fusioncrew.org/gallery) , Windows install needs some TLC in the next build(http://www.chilifrei.net/zp). Overall.. I love Zenphoto. I just got finished with a random image script for my title page on my personal site. I love this script.. it is the best one out there.

    The fact that I got this up and running (after a few attempts) is amazing due to my own shortcomings with programming and it has been a long time since I’ve been involved with backend db work.

    My goodness, for all of the attempts that I’ve made to DL & Install other programs (and even write my own) this is by far the best.

    I will say this much. I am a photographer and I much prefer being out in the field working than at my computer banging my head on my desk in frustration — this truly is amazing. (okay I’ve made my point…)

    Now, if only I can get WordPress configured the way I want…

    Suggestion:
    Think about a commercial version. I know a few in the photography industry that would love to be able to integrate shopping carts (for purchasing prints with options and a link to a PayPal or other merchant account page) on the individual gallery pages, and be willing to pay for it. I’ve seen it done on other “pro galleries” but they are too limited and prone to many errors. If I can figure it out in the interim I will go ahead and try.

    Anyway, thank you, thank you.

    hi ive just started my site and was searching for a open souce gallery which is cool…I installed Zenphoto with out any problem. The only problem for me was my hosting provider has the php safe mode switched on which prevents me from uploading files directly! they provided me an alternative to it which is to create an .htaccess file which should be included in the folder where the php files need to be processed. what this does is it use CGI to process the php..have a slight delay
    Add the code below to a text file and name it htaccess and then rename the file to .htaccess
    Include it to the folder which has the uploading script which is inside admin.
