Anyone else notice that while using IE7 (big surprise) when you view the slideshow, the section that holds the nav buttons ( image title, play, pause) is off center from the image. Is there a way to fix this? Sorry, I'm not really a coder so I wouldn't know where to start :)

Thanks,

Yep, I am having the same problem in IE7 where the Main Gallery Page with the Listed Albums, cannot click on the Thumbnails to take me to the Album itself. Have to right click and choose open link to see the album.

The Image information sits way off to the right of the screen and you have to scroll to see it.

The slide show does not work and when I click on it, I get the following message: Zenphoto error: image does not exist.

The above are just notes for you to take a look at, would be great if you could solve them as this is truly one of the most stunning of all themes.

Thanks Thinkdreams x Mana

I can't get the slideshow to work for the love of me. The edits to template-fuctions don't even exist in the most recent version.

Any update about this? Has the code changes in ZenPhoto 1.1.2 then invalidate the instructions for Thinkdreams 1.0? Just curious, since I like the theme quite a bit.

Yes, the theme will be broken in 1.1+, but lucky for you we have a themes page now with a version of thinkdreams and tons of other themes that DO work with 1.1+!

Thanks for the reply, aitf311 (hehe, I always feel as if I were playing "Spies and Counterspies" in forums, talking to others using agent codenames) :)

Actually, I've already downloaded the Thinkdreams theme from the link you provided (as well as other amazing themes). You can find the my test gallery using that theme here: http://www.magiczonepr.net/zenphoto/ .

From what you've told me here, then the Readme.txt that comes with the theme is outdated, still reflecting the information in this old thread.

Still, I'm guilty of coming to the forum and posting a question without doing some serious digging of my particular problem first. I just panicked and started looking for answers to The Problem(TM)... instead of reading carefully the error page. My bad.

When the "Slideshow" link appear on the gallery, it is pointing to a non-existing folder: http://www.magiczonepr.net/zenphoto/mastercollector/slideshow. "mastercollector/slideshow" does NOT exist, and there are no instructions (that I could find) telling me to create such folders etc. No wonder I'm getting this message: "Zenphoto Error: the requested object was not found. Please go back and try again."

However, I did find a script called "slideshow.js" on the /js subdir of the Thinkdreams, which is, obviously, what the link is supposed to use. After a little Googling I found out that the slideshow is the one at Scott Upton's page here: http://www.couloir.org/js_slideshow/ .

All I have to do now is figure out how to integrate Upton's slideshow properly with the gallery. Maybe easier said than done (I won't know until I try), but its either that or comment out the "View: Normal - Slideshow" links in the .PHP file...

P.S. Duh, of course the link to Upton's js_slideshow was already in the gallery *sigh*. I imagine I don't have to "integrate" the slideshow at all, it's probably already done... maybe it doesn't work because its not pointing in the right direction.

Hmm... looks I didn't have to do much. After looking at lines 56-63 of [b]thinkdreams_functions.php[/b]:

`

function getSlideshowLink() {

if (getOption('mod_rewrite')) {

return getAlbumLinkURL().'slideshow';

}

else {

return getAlbumLinkURL().'&view=slideshow';

}

}

`

I decided to disable [b]mod_rewrite[/b] (which I activated previously for another theme that required it), and that did the trick.

Nevertheless, is there any reason why it [i]didn't[/i] work with [b]mod_rewrite[/b] active? I would prefer to have nicer-looking URLs, but I can live without that if it saves me the effort of getting the slideshow to work. :-/

You have to follow the two steps in readme.txt. I cannot tell you the exact line to place the code in step 2 though.

I see.. and yeah it's step 2 the tough one for me to figure out :-P. Anyway, I think I can live w/o mod_rewrite.

I read most of this thread and and came across similar issues as others... I figured I would post my fixes for what I encountered when using zenphoto 1.1.4:

1) getExif issue -
This was all due to pathing... which partly has to do with the fact that the current directory was set to the cache directory (controller.php will change the directory if the Use_Captcha option is set and doesn't set it back to previous dir... )

The previous work arounds were to provide a new URL for the getExif() in thinkdreams-functions.php... basically the work around is to use ".." or "./.." or what ever you need to do to get it to work.

For me this was a bigger problem because I run a local instance for tweaking and of course my production instance up on the my host... well problem is the mod url doesn't work the same between two hosts. The solution I found that works for both environments is to update getExif() in the following way:
`

function getExif() {

$info = array();

global $_zp_current_image;

$url = $_zp_current_image->localpath;

$er = new phpExifRW($url);

[...]

}

`
2) refletion.js doesn't work in IE -
If you try to click on an image after reflection has done its magic, the link appears to be dead. I just downloaded latest version of reflection.js and dropped that in the scripts directory.

My man !

No really, thanks a lot. I suspected the problem came from the path but did really not feel like spending the night reading the rest of the code...

Now who wants to code an automatic flv converter...

Re: 1 - Zenphoto has built-in EXIF functions now that are fast and cached. You should use them if possible, and perhaps Craig would like to update his theme? ;-)

And, if there are EXIF/IPTC fields that are not supported by zenphoto that you need, let us know. We can add any generally useful fields to zenphoto.

I in the end had to look a little bit into it anyway since with EXIF functions activated in thinkdream, video could not lunch due to script size limitations. I noticed the new EXIF functions but won't rewrite the theme...

I solved the problem in a very ugly way: prevented the call to getExif() in image.php in the case of a video.

Keep up the good work !

I seem to have a problem with the exif-function.
I tried all of the possible solutions, but I just can't get it to work.

Zenphoto is installed on a subdomain and in a subfolder.
Something like this: http://subdomain.domain.com/zenphoto/
which is the same as http://www.domain.be/subdomain/zenphoto/

What do I need to change to get it working WITH the exif-data.
For now I commented the exif out, but I'd love to see it working!

Thanks in advance!

Actually this is a older theme that we don't officially support (sorry, I am not familiar with it) and EXIF functionality is already included zenphoto.

The link for the theme is dead/ does not work here.

Can anyone reupload it?

Jeroen
