Zenphoto

Zenphoto is already the easiest gallery management system available but it does not have any normal page management capability. Therefore many people use Zenphoto in combination with another CMS.

With Zenpage you can now extend the easy to use interface to manage an entire site with pages and news (blog) Considering Zenphoto's image, video and audio management capabilites this is the ideal solution for personal portfolio sites of artists, graphic/web designers, illustrators, musicians, multimedia/video artists, photographers and many more.

You could even run an audio or podcast blog with Zenphoto and Zenpage.

Features

• Fully integrated with Zenphoto
• Custom page management
• News section with nested categories (blog)
• Tags for pages and news articles
• Page and news category password protection
• Scheduled publishing
• RSS feed for news articles
• Comments on news articles (...)

Zenpage 1.1. is still available standalone but the svn has now already been included in Zenphoto's. So if you download from the svn repository or a nightly you will from now on get also the full Zenpage package.

Also from now on translations for Zenpage will be included with the Zenphoto translation files. The former  separate translation way does not work with the svn/nightly anymore (still works for Zenpage 1.1 of course). There are no translations for Zenpage incorporated yet but since there weren't that many at all this is surely a minor drawback during the process of joining.

Zenphoto 1.2.3 requires the Zenpage svn version. Alternatively you can wait a few days until Zenpage 1.1 will be released. Due to time constraints this is a little delayed.
