Hello,

I have the ZenPhoto all set up and I'm over the moon with it. A freakin' genius at the controls on this one!

1) However, I wonder if I can easily display a random thumbnail in my sidebar. I looked into something called 'ZenShow', but couldn't get it working.

2) And is there a way I can add photos within WordPress to the gallery, rather than go to the 'zenphoto' sub-directory, and login again?
Not sure if a plugin has been made for this.

3) Oh, also, when in a page showing the single image, but NOT in full size, it overlaps onto my next column. Is there a way to change the default size for displaying the 'middle' image(not thumb, not full size).

4) And finally, how can I keep my "dynamic areas" dynamic in my ZenPhoto. I am using the template I made for WP in ZP, but can't seem to use INCLUDES Can anyone help me with this. I tried using an INCLUDE for my navigation, but it didn't want anything to do with my wp_list_pages() function.

A beast of a first post I know, but I'm sure you folks can help me out

Many thanks in advance.

#1. There are several possibilities depending on what exactly you want to do. Check out the zenphoto as a plugin in the hacks section and the Wordpress plugins at http://www.zenphoto.org/category/Extensions/

#2. I haven't seen any plugin to Wordpress that would do the upload bit, but you could just add a link in Wordpress to the admin/upload page.

#3. There is an image display option for setting the default image size. Are you using one of the distributed themes? These should be doing what you wish.

#4. Someone with Wordpress expertise will have to step in on this one. I think most people make a zenphoto theme to fit in with their Wordpress look and feel.

1. OK. Sounds good. I'll try ZenShow once more. Basiclly I uploaded it, activated it in Plugins, but now not too sure what to do. Should it appear in my sidebar ?

2. OK. Sorry to be such a newb, but to add a link from WordPress, would I just go into one of the Admin files and add it 'statically'?

3. I'm just using the default theme. Is there a particular file I should look at in the a distributed theme?

4. Aaah, yes, this may make more sense. I'll try ask around on the WP forum for further info.

Many thanks for your detailed reply.

For #3, can you post your URL? It should be working correctly. As for the option, go to admin, the options tab and the image display subtab.

Hi,
In response to #3:

This shows that it overlaps my column on the right, over the blue . It seems to make the image a minimum width of 500px?

I looked into the 'Options', but couldn't change the image size, only thumbnail

Any pointers? Thanks for your help.

Sorry, this page is not zenphoto code. Don't see how we can help you with it.

Oh, but I use ZenPhoto for that page.

The end part of my site is at '/zenphoto/test-photos/ws_Children_playing_1280x800.jpg.php'

` <!-- The Image -->



[b][img]/flannigan/zenphoto/cache/test-photos/ws_Children_playing_1280x800.jpg_595.jpg[/img][/b]

`

And I want the width * height to shrink by about 15%, or whatever, just so it doesn't go to width of 595. Is there anyway to adjust the values it defaults to for that page?

Thankyou for your patience with this.

The page your supplied the link for (http://paintedover.com/uploads/show.php?loc=0801&f=untitled1_1.gif) was NOT generated by zenphoto. Perhaps you supplied the wrong link?

My apologies. Please see above. I've worked an age on this site and just need a quick wee help fixing the 'width' that is created automatically.

It should work if you change the image size in admin > options > image display > image size. if not, you probably changed code.

Well, that's better.

You should change the "image size" option to something smaller than 595 that will fit in the space you have allocated. (#3 in my original response.)

Oh, but how do I this? Is it in my ZenphotoPress Configuration ?

Again, apologies for the sheer newb-ness you see before you

Will it not distort my image if I insert default width/height values for say, a landscape, then a portrait pic is added(?)

This is a zenphoto option. Go to your gallery's admin pages, click on the option tab, then the image display tab.

Hehehe, brilliant my man. Wow do I feel thick?!

Thank You.

Who do I ask to remove the links from the above posts?

I will remove the links.
