Zenphoto

You probably read the Zenpage CMS plugin CombiNews feature has been removed with the coming Zenphoto 1.4.6. 

As our site already runs on the 1.4.6 RC1 we already stop using CombiNews on our own site. Therefore the news section on our site now changes. New theme, showcase or screenshots/screencasts entries will not be included anymore automatically. We will be creating articles manually collecting new entries (hopefully we don't forget to do so that often).

You will shortly see the 1.4.6 release, which will be our last "traditional" server based application. Afterwards we will follow a new path: the next release of Zenphoto will be an app for Android and iOS. Although there will also be apps for Mac and Linux desktop systems (sorry, no Windows) we strongly believe that the mobile web is the future. Mobile usage on tiny screens is increasing a lot recently among our clients, and "apps" are the Next Big Thing in the world of tech, so it only makes sense.

Zenphoto will still be your number one media management tool for the web. There will still be a themable web front-end, (...)

zenBits is a Zenphoto plugin for Bit.ly integration.

zenSocialShare is a plug-in for Zenphoto that enables the common required meta-tags for sharing on social networks. It currently provides Open Graph keys which Facebook, Pinterest, and Google+ use to show "pretty shares" when a user shares info. It also provides Twitter Card meta-keys if you want to have your site approved for twitter cards.

zenSocialShare also provides a simple template call that will display sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, & Google+ horizontally. Option interface allows indidivuals to turn off networks they do not wish to display.

In preparation for the Zenphoto 1.4.6 release next week the 1.4.5 release stream has been officially capped. The master branch on GitHub is now the 1.4.6 beta release and the 1.4.6 GitHub branch has been removed.

Easy Media website management!

Zenphoto is a CMS for selfhosted, gallery focused websites. Our focus lies on being easy to use and having all the features there when you need them (but out of the way if you don't).

Zenphoto features support for images, video and audio formats, and the Zenpage CMS plugin provides a fully integrated news section (blog) and custom pages to run entire websites.

This makes Zenphoto the ideal CMS for personal websites of illustrators, artists, designers, photographers, film makers and musicians.

Manage image, video and audio files!

We collected (and collect) various articles we find about Zenphoto on the net and elsewhere. Originally this was located on the testimonials page and now moved here to the user guide as that seems to be more fitting.

Note that some articles are quite a little older so will of course not reflect current state of Zenphoto at all.
