Zenphoto

Our main website was driven by several systems since the release of Zenphoto 1.1 in 2007:

• Wordpress for news, extensions and user-guide sections
• Zenphoto itself of course for the showcase, themes and screenshots sections
• trac for the bugtracker
• bbpress for the forum

Zenphoto evolved greatly since then and is now able to take over the Wordpress parts itself.

Yes, your read correctly. We have indeed abandoned Wordpress! Against the trends! It's not that we don't like Wordpress anymore. We do. Really. But you probably can agree with us that we like to run our own site with our own product as much as possible. This also is a great showcase for Zenphoto being more than "just a web gallery". We found this an overdue step.

Plugin to use highlighter GeSHi PHP on Zenpage pages and articles.

Installs and configures Zenphoto 1.3. from a public repository on github including a proper vhost for your Apache webserver. Please note that you still need to run setup.php within your browser to finish the installation process of Zenphoto.

zenHttpbl is a spambot/harvester blocking tool. zenHttpbl is a Zenphoto plug-in implementation of Project Honey Pot's HTTP:BL system

Note: Of course this is our traditional April Fools joke for this year we simply can't resist to do...;-) Although the Twitter account is indeed real it probably will not be that much used.

The Zenphoto team is pleased to announce a change in focus for our support efforts.

We will discontinue using the bbpress based www.zenphoto.org/support and move all support to an new Twitter account. We believe this will better serve both our users and developers.

The support forum was plagued by lengthy postings including such unnecessary information as the Poster's Zenphoto version and Theme. Moving to Twitter will ensure that posts contain only 140 characters and encourage people to be brief. Messages such as “my installation does not work. Please help me.” Are much more efficient than ones that spell out in gruesome detail exactly what the (...)

Because of heavy spamming on the bugtracker ticket system we have now enabled moderation of tickets and ticket comments.

Please don't double post if your new ticket or ticket comment does not appear automatically after submitting.

A little script that uses the Zenphoto RSS feed as data source for a javascript slideshow. The idea is, you can place this elsewhere on the same site or even on another domain. It uses PHP and CURL.

Just wanted to let you all know that the server will be down this evening at 9PM PST (4AM UTC) for approximately 30 minutes for an upgrade. Hopefully this will allow us to handle the continually increasing traffic and hits we've been getting lately (thanks!).

We're able to pay for this upgrade thanks to your donations and support (for those interested, here is a rough financial report of the last several years), so thank you to all who have helped us in the past. However, the upgrade will increase our operating costs significantly, making donations more important than ever to support the site and the software. If you like Zenphoto, please consider taking a moment to donate using the link to the right.

Thanks again, and I hope you continue enjoying Zenphoto for many years to come.
