Some user guide restructuring May 31, 2013
We have just restructured our user guide a bit. Specifially we worked on the troubleshooting which formerly was located within the article "Troubleshooting guide". This was a collector article that fetched otherwise invisible shorter articles by a script to create a huge list. While the overview was nice it was outside the site search and a bit inconvenient to find.
We now have now create a buch of new longer articles to group these shorter articles thematically so they are easier to find. While doing that we tried to clean up a bit and removed some outdated info, too. You can now find all these via the main category "troubleshooting".
If you are searching on our forum there are a lot direct links to those former shorter articles within the troubleshooting guide that will be broken.
While the user guide might not be (...)
Integration with existing sites and other CMS May 28, 2013
This is not really possible as Zenphoto is actually a standalone CMS of its own. Technically, these are the recommended ways to "integrate" Zenphoto with another CMS:
Match the look of your Zenphoto site to your existing site
This basically means to create a theme for your Zenphoto site to make it look like your existing site. For example by re-using HTML and CSS from it. Also please review our theming tutorial.

Using Zenpage May 26, 2013
Assigning a specific user to a page or article
This is the way if you are the master admin and want to set up something for users with lower rights:
- Create a user with rights for one album and Zenpage rights.
- Create a new page/article as master admin for that user.
- Now select the user the page/article should belong to from the author dropdown.
- Now set the page/article to locked for changes and save it. Then only admins with full admin rights or that user will be able to edit or delete that page. For all others the link and the icon buttons should be grayed out.
titlelink (name) vs title
The titlelink is the name of an article, category or (...)
Working with albums and images May 26, 2013
Is there any limit to the number of images?
There are no limits to the number of images Zenphoto can display in a gallery or album. Zenphoto is file system based and unique in that it scales relatively well due to its simple design. The speed of the gallery is dependent on a few minor things, namely the number of images in any given album.
Zenphoto should be able to handle any number of images in the entire gallery. It will help greatly with performance if they are separated into smaller albums. Even then, single albums with 2000+ photos are possible and will still be usable.
If you're having trouble with the speed of large galleries, try using the static_html_cache plugin to cache Zenphoto pages. Frequently loaded pages will be much faster.
Is it possible to remove the filename extension from image names in the URL?
No, the unique identifier to find the photo requested is the actual filename, and the only way (...)
