I have a few questions to ask before putting ZenPhoto into use in my website

1. How do I redirect unfound pages back to index? Say if I typed in a random url eg. www.url.com/gallery/cache ... I want it to redirect it back to www.url.com/gallery.

In the case above I don't want the FTP screen to load.

2. Album names
   I have album names that is named 37. Dropping Camera - How hard can it be, the modrewrite does the same for the permalinks. Eg http://127.0.0.1/zenphoto/37.%20Dropping%20Camera%20-%20How%20hard%20can%20it%20be/

Is there a way to let it display it as
a title : 37. Dropping Camera - How hard can it be
a link : 37.-dropping-camera-how-hard-can-it-be

Like the one in this website ...
http://imagebaker.com/v4.0/albums/070909-manhattan_bridge/

3. Image extension
   I've read http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=272#post-4977 which was posted 2 years ago.
   I am wondering if there's any solution to this problem currently? Like to output /imagetitle/ instead of /imagetitle.extension/ ?

4. The Nightly Build's bug ...
   Refer to http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4456#post-26519
   IS there a temporary solution to this problem?

The stable build (ver 1.2.2) does not create a proper thumbnail that's why I am not using it.

Will add more questions if I can't find a solution from the search feature.

1. Unfound pages will be directed to the theme's 404.php script. You can do whatever you want there.
2. The links are not changable. But the title is something you can edit.
3. You can add an ending to the image link--see the mod_rewrite suffix option.
4. Change logs can be found here : http://www.zenphoto.org/trac/log/trunk

1. Thanks. But how do I avoid people from getting into the cache folder that is located at url.com/zenphoto/cache ... or the album folder?

2. You mean upload the folder with the name with dashes (-), then rename them when they are uploaded?

3. Well, but I don't want the extension to come out in the mod rewrite ... I want it to be just the filename, without the .jpg / .gif.

4. Wow that was great. But another question here. Can I just download the newest version of the file and patch it with the one I'm currently using to fix the problem?

Instead of reuploading the whole 2.5 MB again.

do you mean not access /cache/ at all from the outside world? or just not show its contents?
try adding index.html in the directories... I dunno if that will conflict with the scripts or not, don't think so..

1. Probably this will help you if you can set it that way on your server: http://www.zenphoto.org/2008/08/troubleshooting-zenphoto/#29
   Placing other files in the albums folder can lead to issues so we don't recommend that.
   Also probably you can disapble the file listing view on your webspace's options. My webspace for example is set up to not allow that by default (try zenpage.maltem.de/albums or zenpage.maltem.de/cache). Of course if someone really wants to hack he possible will find a way anyway...

2. It will be easier to rename them with one of the loads of renaming programs before uploading.

3. That is not possible. Zenphoto needs the filename extension.

4. You can try that but we strongly recommend always to install a full nightly/svn version because sometime new fixes depend on older ones in other files. You might get funny results.
