Zenphoto

Sadly we just found out that the update to jQuery 1.4.2 breaks our drag and drop sorting for albums and Zenpage pages. However, the fix is rather easy. Just replace the jquery.js within zp-core/js/jquery.js with the jQuery 1.4.1 release. Tonight's nightly build will also contain this revertion.

The reason is probably that we rely on an older nested tree sortable script using the jQuery UI predecessor Interface. Except for this issue it is still working great. We looked at some newer scripts but we have not found any replacement that is as easy and convenient to adapt. We would be open for suggestions though.

Plugin for the Zenphoto open-source gallery that adds a textbox to the image page, containing HTML and BBcode markup that will allow you to copy and paste image links to forums, other websites, etc.

This plugin provides a substitute to image rotation functionality if the GD libary on your server lacks support for it.

This is a short tutorial about how to use Zenphoto's object model framework which allows you to extend the standard way of theming, as described in the theming tutorial, and cusomize your gallery any way you like.

Before reading this you should be familiar with Zenphoto themes in general and have read the theming tutorial. You should also have quite some PHP knowledge and an understanding about how object orientation works.

Zenphoto's main classes
