i have a query. i did the first page of the tutorial, but got this reply:

The requested URL /pixelpost/admin/install.php/ was not found on this server.

you have any idea what i did wrong?

the other thing is that on your first page, you said that 4 lines have to be editted, but didn’t say edit to what, so i left it the same. any possible error from that?

thanks.

Does pixel post play nice with wordpress? Can I integrate it into my theme? Why would I want to use pixel post?

I didn’t like PixelPost when I tried it because it stored all your images in one folder. I wanted to be able to manage my images on a folder basis (one folder equals one gallery). Other than that PixelPost worked fine although I forget if it integrated easily into WP.

PixelPost isn’t meant to be used as a photo gallery for folder managment purposes. It’s really geared towards running a photoblog (just as WordPress wasn’t [initially] meant to be used as a CMS, even though it’s capable of it).

For image managment, as you mentioned, jwurster, you might try something along the lines of Gallery or Coppermine.

There are so many solutions out there. You really need to define what you want to do with your images. Then you can pick the right solution.

You need to replace “change_me” into the appropriate values, so:

$pixelpost_db_host = “localhost”; // database host, often “localhost”

$pixelpost_db_user = “change_me”; // fill in the username of the database (ask your provider)

$pixelpost_db_pass = “change_me”; // fill in the password of the database (again ask your provider)

$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = “change_me”; // fill in the name of the database

And yes, Pixelpost can be intergrated within WP.

I used pixelpost for over a year before I got tired of its inflexibility, and its developer is very is very narrow-minded and stubborn to accomadate for growth and major improvements.

I tried movable type, but I couldn’t even get it to install on my server and seemed way too complex. I had been using wordpress for a while for a seperate “words only” blog and decided to integrate them. The result, after weeks of tweaking, is the best CMS system I’ve ever installed.

Pixelpost rocks, and is the perfect companion to wordpress (at least for me)
I’m not sure it’s worth trying to integrate it, but I like to have WP as my main blog, and pixelpost as my gallery.
