WordPress PhotoLog

  • I have been working on a Photolog which uses WordPress and would really like to know what people think of it. The features of this Photolog include:
    – XHTML compliant code
    – Simple once click addition of photos, auto thumbnail and resizing
    – Extraction of EXIF information from original photo and saved as meta
    – Easy installation, as easy as installing WordPress
    – Simple, clean design and look
    – Simple navigation
    I still have some more work to get the archives and the paged navigation work correctly, but here is Pictorialis – My new Photolog.
    This code and template will be shared once it is ready.

  • 2fargon: thanks
    Just wondering, what is the advantage of same database, different tables over different database? Does it have to do with performance, convenience, portability?

    @zach: The only advantage of same database different tables/prefixes over different database is that you dont have to start a new MySql database. Many service providers put a limit on the number of MySql databases that one can have.
    Without getting into an academic discussion over which is faster, I do not believe you will see any difference in performance with either of the choices.

    GD is a PHP based image manipulation package that is normally installed with the webserver. So either you have it or you dont. Check with your webhost ??
    Peace

    ok last question for today. I copied and uploaded teh narchivescat.php page…and it all worked well…. except taht when i click on the links for each category it takes me to the main index page of my website…not to the category page. I did a quick peek at the code but i am not sure where i need to edit it so that it looks in the photblog directory.
    any helps please?
    thank you fae:)

    @laughinglizard: in the new release of your photolog, it says that a folder named “thumbnail” should be created. it was “thumbnails” before. does that matter?

    @jaya: The foldername should be “thumbnails”
    There were a couple of other bugs in the install package and the readme file needed to be updated. Find the updates in the download from the same location.
    Thanks to Achhoo for finding the bugs and helping in the testing.

    I’m really happy with Pictorials too and feel that it is perfect for mine and many others need. Once again thanks LaughingLizard for using your time to make Pictorials!

    I know that I have PHP 4.2.3 on my server and, gd 1.6.2, and exif 1.2. I followed the directions in the readme. Any ideas?

    I used to have the same problem on my 1and1.com server, until LL came out with a version of pictorialis that can use netpbm instead of GD. I suggest you get the latest and use NetPBM.

    I’m on 1and1. I don’t understand why they haven’t upgraded their GD yet. So stupid.
    I went to the NetPBM sourceforge page but am not sure what to download and how to install. Advice?

    Also, I read that NetPBM is installed on 1&1 servers, but I switched the variable to a 1 so that NetPBM would be used and it didn’t work. Similar error.
