My photographer and amazing coder friend Nils K. Windisch has just released the first public version of his [b]simple+[/b] theme for Zenphoto (1.0.8.2 compatible). [b]simple+[/b] is a minimalist theme integrating Lightbox and Reflection.js.

[b]Demo[/b] You can see the native version of simple+ in action on Nils' photo portfolio or with some slight modifications and a different stylesheet on my new photography website (still under construction).

Thanks Nils for the tremendous job!

very nice theme

i'm having problems integrating it to the zenvideo add-on. it just doesn't work. any clues??

sorry, can't help you. haven't tested the theme with the video add-on. the reflections features should not work with reflections, but should not break it either.

I noticed a small issue in IE7: probably due to the JS listener, the cursor doesn't properly change to a pointer when hovering on an image in the album view. Maybe a simple cursor:pointer in the CSS will do the job, I'll test this later.

just a small notice: i released v0.2 which addresses some display bugs with IE7 (still a horrible browser ...) and will look into the cursor issue soon (i hope)

How easy/hard would it be to modify this theme to support subalbums?

Pretty much all you have to do for any theme is grab the while() code from index.php and put it into albums.php where you want the subalbums to go.

That's brilliant, thank you very much.

My knowledge of PHP is somewhat lacking (read nonexistent) so something as simple as that did completely pass me by.

Thanks again,

Chris

Nils, I'd like to know what changes you implemented to fix the IE incompatibility, so I can patch my version instead of reinstalling everything from scratch. Do you have your code in a source control repo by chance?

css classes "imagethumb" and "albumthumb" now with "width: 140px;"

[i]i hope that's all, sry[/i]

I uploaded a version of this theme with all of the necessary javascript to trac:
http://www.zenphoto.org/trac/attachment/wiki/ZenphotoThemes/simple-plus.zip

@aitf311: i don't feel well with providing a download link containing the licenced files from mootools and slimbox, so i removed the link from the theme description in the wiki. can you please remove the attachment.

thank you and please don't get me wrong (i understand your intentions are good).

nilswindish: both of those are MIT licensed and should be just fine to distribute to individuals for free as no restrictions are set on either one of their (mootools/slimbox) homepages.

We included scriptaculous, jquery and simpleviewer already and there has not been any problem because there is no grounds for one.

... and you will update the file in the wiki everytime i update the theme? i'd rather like to have one location for the latest version.

Thats all I needed to hear. Tried to make it easier, took me 5 minutes to set it up initially and could have taken 1...thats ok. Its off the wiki.

thanks, the download now contains the required libraries.

any idea where i can download this theme?

Be nice if this theme was updated for 1.1.2 support
