Zenphoto

Recently this "myth" was discussed a little on Twitter. We wondered as well. The reason was actually just our logo and the 5th anniversary button we used since 2010 being misunderstood:

The reports of our death are of course greatly exaggerated. We are alive and kicking as our site and forum show! We are on to our 10th year (we will get you, Piwigo!..;-)) and hopefully many more. Therefore we now changed that button text to be clear about that!

Btw, in case you didn't know, you can download our logo in several variants to spread the word about us, too.

So (...)

We earlier forgot to mention that in 1.4.3 the rss handling is changed a little more. Sorry for that. Here is the updated post. 

The rss links had been changed in Zenphoto 1.4 over a year ago and the 1.4.2.x .htaccess file still contains RSS redirections so these still work. In 1.4.3 the rss links will change again due to internal handling and performance reasons (RSS handling has completely been revamped for performance and support reasons):

• /rss.php > /index.php?rss (1.4.) > /index.php?rss (1.4.3)
• /rss-comments.php > /index.php?rss-comments (1.4.) > /index?rss=comments (1.4.3)
• /rss.news.php (...)

Additionally to Twitter you can now also get the latest Zenphoto news on our Facebook and Google+ pages.

The Zenphoto team likes to announce the Zenphoto Sponsors program. Bascially it is  advertising but we don't call it that. Sponsors support Zenphoto and help us continue our development. As you know we all are volunteers and we currently can hardly cover our servers costs (which is the serious background behind this year's April Fools' Joke).

If you like Zenphoto, run a web related business and would like to become a Zenphoto sponsor please visit our sponsor information page. Donations or contributions are of course also always welcome.

Note: This of course was our April Fools Joke.

The Zenphoto team is pleased that a new opportunity has arisen for bettering our customer experience. Huge donations over the past years provided us with the backing funds to found a new company, Zenphoto Inc., and launch Zenphoto Hosting. 

What is Zenphoto Hosting? Well, first a little background. Those of you (...)

Zenphoto 1.4.2.2 is a bugfix and security release of the recent 1.4.2 branch. 

As usual we recommend all users upgrade for the latest updates and fixes. See the changes on trac for more information.

There have been some small changes to our theme's section recently that might be interessting to note.

Removed themes

We sadly had to remove the following 3rd party themes:

• Mosaic: It is still listed on its site but the download links are broken. We will check and if it is fixed we will list it again.
• Silhouette: Not provided anymore
• The life in blue: Not provided anymore
• The life is social: Not provided anymore
• zpGalleriffic 1.0: Not provided anymore (there is a newer zpGallerffic 1.4 though)

Although we have copies of (some of) the themes we don't choose to provide them as hosted but unsupported 3rd party themes for now as we do with some other abandoned ones. Especially as some of the authors still provide other themes.

Supported plugins listed

Also new is that all theme entries now list (...)

Zenphoto 1.4.2.1 is a bugfix and security release of the recent 1.4.2 branch. It fixes security issues reported by High-Tech Bridge.

As usual we recommend all users upgrade for the latest updates and fixes. See the changes on trac for more information.

We have discovered a bug in Zenphoto version 1.4.2 which leaves the default for publishing new images and albums set to not publish them. This is corrected in the nightly builds and in the upcoming 1.4.2.1 release.

However, the nature of the bug is such that the error cannot automatically be reversed. The option must be manually changed on the gallery options tab if you do not want unpublished as the default.

Instead we have revived the publish content utility obsoleted by the bulk action implementations on albums and images. You can use this utility to locate any accidentally not published albums and images.

You can find this plugin here. Note that the plugin is "unsupported" which means that we may not extend it to deal with Zenpage content.
