In reply to: WordPress PhotoLogGD 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 🙂

In reply to: forcing a style sheet based on specific browser@faewench: if you download my pictorialis distribution from http://weblogtoolscollection.com you will see how the HTML can be used to specify different CSS files for different browsers in WordPress (look at the top of the index.php file)

In reply to: a couple mor Pictorials questionsGood job Ryan! Under reading in your blog options you need to set the number of posts to be displayed as 1 and the kind of posts as posts-paged. That will take care of the archives issue and the previous next issue.

In reply to: WordPress PhotoLog@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.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: WordPress PhotoLog@ Chuckie: Good suggestions as usual. I have been thinking of similar functionality as well. However, I think a new table (with all the extra functions you talk about) is not such a good idea because a lot of extra code and overhead is added for very little gain. However, the code to check a post for images and then display thumbnails of the images is a great idea. I hope to get some work done on this soon.
@anon: I am glad that you like this program and it has served you so well. The GD functions are built into the PHP and a little bit of PHP tinkering would be required to modify the image processor. I am going to be working on a newer version of this and I will try to incorporate ImageMagik as one of the photo manipulation options. The only problem with NetPBM or ImageMagik is that those require a little more configuration from the user and I wanted to keep this as simple as possible
As an overall comment, I have had quite a few people complain about the graininess and the jaggedness of the thumbnails (and the main pictures in some cases). I have not been very thrilled with the performance of GD and might tinker with the code to see what else I can come up with. Please check back for updates.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: WordPress PhotoLogThe graininess of the picture could come from 2 different items.
1) GD is not as good as the other packages for image manipulation but it is more widely available, thus the usage.
2) The original image itself was small enough that a small thumbnail adds a lot of noise to the picture.
If you compare your thumbnails with the ones in my example blog, would you say yours are more grainy?
Finally, you could try to change the
$compression = 100;
at the top of wp-admin/post.php to different values to see if that makes a difference (range of 1-100).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Waypath Hack Error🙂 Sorry guys, been crazy donkey busy! Glad to see it started working again. I should write a little caching system for this hack which would prevent this problem.

In reply to: Backup/Restore Hack@rayne: try the new version mentioned on the same backup/restore thread. That takes care of the passthru issue.
