I’m happy to announce the release of the zenphoto 1.0 beta! This release brings a lot of hard work from a new member of the team, Todd Papaioannou. Since he did most of the work for this release (and he did, believe me) I’ll let him do the explaining.

Head to luckyspin.org for his post,

Or go straight to zenphoto.org to grab the release.

Zenphoto 0.9 fixes a lot of stuff. From the changelog:

• Removed web_path and server_path config variables. They are now automatically deduced (and there was much rejoicing).


• Added theme functions: getPrevImageThumb() and getNextImageThumb() – return the path
  to the thumbnail of the previous or next image relative to the current image.


• Fixed bugs with using next_image() (for iterating through all album images) on an image page. You should now be able to use any loop anywhere without affecting the state.


• [Bug 005102] Images smaller than the standard image size will not be sized up anymore.


• [Bug 005125] AJAX-editing no longer strips HTML from titles/descriptions.


• [Bug 005086] Using zenphoto without mod_rewrite should work fine now.

Go grab it at zenphoto.org.

Available at zenphoto.org.

Wow that felt good. It took me a while to realize what I was actually doing, but then when I uploaded the front page of zenphoto.org and looked at the domain in the address bar, it hit me.

It’s not 100% as complete as I wanted for 1.0, but it’s pretty darn good, and definately good enough to use and to start making themes for. Speaking of which, theme developers: I’ll have some documentation up soon, but until then, just look at how the two included themes are built and you should be able to figure it out. If you know PHP, the template-functions.php will be good to look at.

So, with that, I leave it to you. Remember that this is a developer release, and as such I won’t be supporting it much. I’m trying to get a support forum set up so you can help each other out.

If you get it installed and working, leave a comment here with a link (if you want) and a sentence or two on your initial thoughts. Thanks!

Update: We now have support forums, which should be better for helping everyone. Please keep the tech support there and the links and comments here from now on. Thanks!
