Turning WP into photoblogs?

Search here for Pictorialis.
I’m sure there is another one too …

There’s also Pictpress, which is just a plugin. You can download Pictpress from wp-plugins.org.

Pictorialis is a whole separate install of a hacked WP. I’m not sure if Pictorialis is based on 1.2 or 1.5, so you might not get some 1.5 features with Pictorialis.

THe way Is et it up on my blog (https://www.sub-division.com ) is I used the custom fields plugin and set it to display a field called “photo” on my template and in that field when composing a message I type the filename of the current photo. For instance todays photo would have “2005-03-12.jpg” in the photo field.

The best way I could get it to work without a million and one hacks.

On my photoblog – I just used the WP single entry, set my blog to show only 1 post. Used the Previous / Next feature and that was about it. I really don’t enjoy gallery type photo sites. Too much clicking around. When surfing photo sites I want to see a photo.

So how did you get the previous/next on your site to show previous and next posts? I want to set mine up to do that as well.

charbyte, that’s exactly what I want. Could you show me how you did it? I’m apreciated.

I also run a photoblog with a single entry and the “previous” and “next” options that came with the 1.5 template I am using. I don’t use any photo-oriented plugins, just WP as-is.

I’m not certain what template you’re using but the code to trigger the previous and next options is (I believe):

<div class="pagenav">
<span class="entryleft"><?php posts_nav_link('','','« Previous Entries') ?></span>
<span class="entryright"><?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries »','') ?></span>
</div>


Ahh. I get the idea how to do it like you said Debwire. Thanks

Now. I start working on it

I’m not sure what to do.

1- I created a photos.php in a theme folder and I called it a “photoblogs” Template.
2- I created a blank page (in Write Page WP)

So, what do I need to call up a post into my photos.php?

Is it possible to show a single entry from a category called photos on the index page, while showing other entries normally? And the photo entry would be sticky e.g. at the top? This is what I’m doing with MT now with various category plugins.
