In reply to: WordPress PhotoLogI still believe that a dl tag is more appropriate, thought more difficult to fashion in the way I would like to.
I am also looking into providing a couple of different methods of building the thumbnails including selection of a random pixel area instead of just a smaller version of the picture.
The other feature of interest to me is the ability to provide thumbnails for posts which contain pictures and ignore ones with just text so this could be used as a text blogging tool as well.
Any more thoughts?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: WordPress PhotoLog@chuckie:
Very nicely done. I do miss having the sematic markup with the definitions lists, but your CSS looks a little better. I will have to see if I can get the dl tags to look right using the CSS.
However, I did get a chance to modify the narchives.php to show the thumbnails according to the categories. It even supports multiple categories with the thumbnails showing up under both categories.
Here is what it looks like:

and you can download the file here, upload it to the root of your blog, and link to it from anywhere:

In reply to: WordPress PhotoLog@chuckie: Thank you for the great input. I will incorporate most of your suggestions in the next release of Pictorialis (or narchives.php whicever comes first).
@ara: Yes it is possible, you could use my vanilla narchives.php from http://weblogtoolscollection.com However, you do have to remember that with multiple categories support, thumbnails will show up and multiple categories and might be overtly bandwidth intensive. To get around that, just use one category per picture. If you have trouble with it, please let me know and I will modify the narchives.php to suit your needs. 🙂Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Post not showing on some templatesI believe there are some conflicting variables in your code. Take out this line from your index.php and see if it makes a difference to the post situation.

I am really sorry that I caused you this much frustration.

In reply to: related linksYou can use post-meta to do just that. You would need to play with the code a little. Email me if you need some help with that.

In reply to: WordPress PhotoLogThere is a new version of Pictorialis out which fixes a couple of issues that were brought up with the Beta and you can download it from http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/pictorialis.zip
Fixes for this version include:
– Built in EXIF support which does not need pre-compiled EXIF in PHP
– There is a selection mechanism for versions of GD which makes sure you always get the best possible thumbnails and pictures conversion.
– This also has some file upload fixes which makes sure that the uploaded files do not get erased before the script gets a chance to grab the files.
– The installation process has also been better defined with some fixes for the installation troubles reported from the previous version.
As in the pervious version, this new version has the following features:
– 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

In reply to: parse error in Nicer Archives@anatman:
I cannot reproduce the error on any server/machine. I have looked through the code, compared the code between your .phps and mine and everything is exactly the same. I have to say something is happening on your side which is causing this error. Can you give us any other information? Anything else that might be peculiar about your systems?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress databaseYep, except for any extra attachments, pictures, anything you uploaded etc are not stored in the database and will need to be restored seperately.

In reply to: WordPress PhotoLogYay again!!
That could be a goofy GD error. You also need to download the new zip file from my site. The backgreound image is off and there are new GD functions in the new version
