WordPress Photolog New Version

  • There is a new version of Pictorialis out which fixes a couple of issues that were brought up with the Beta and you can download it from https://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/pictorialis.zip
    Fixes for this version include:
    – Built in EXIF support which does not need pre-compiled EXIF in PHP
    – There is a selection mechanism for versions of GD which makes sure you always get the best possible thumbnails and pictures conversion.
    – This also has some file upload fixes which makes sure that the uploaded files do not get erased before the script gets a chance to grab the files.
    – The installation process has also been better defined with some fixes for the installation troubles reported from the previous version.
    As in the pervious version, this new version has the following features:
    – XHTML compliant code
    – Simple once click addition of photos, auto thumbnail and resizing
    – Extraction of EXIF information from original photo and saved as meta
    – Easy installation, as easy as installing WordPress
    – Simple, clean design and look
    – Simple navigation
    My example PhotoBlog with WordPress can be found at Pictorialis

  • Thanks!

    I think I was having problems updating the index.php. I copied some things from the index of my main blog, which is using the latest release of wp, to the pictorialis index and got all sort of errors. I had to erase everything that was calling wp functions, from the menu and the post loop.
    For example, while the newest was using <?php the_permalink() ?>, the pictorialis version was using <?php echo get_permalink() ?>.
    Changed that and got rid of the errors for the moment.

    I need to change the tags and references in post.php
    for example, the large image points to upload outside of wp-admin, so it doesn’t work, but I would like to change that anyway not to fix it. I’d like to have it pointing to the comments page.
    Could you direct me on how to do this?
    (P.S. : still have no clue where in your readme.txt do you say how to change from GD to ImageMagick)

    uff… lot’s of questions… sorry again,
    I have set up category links on the index page. When you click on them you get all posts in the index page for the category.
    Is there a way I could code on index to distiguish when it’s a category, and list only the thumbs of that category instead of all posts?
    It’s quite ugly otherwise, with the design I made
    thanks

    I got the above error.
    Anyone can help?

    I’ve sorted it out now.
    A real klutz i am…
    My directory was not being pointed at in the first place.
    To all future users,
    please bear in mind that post.php is in wp-admin while upload folder is at the root.
    So remember to put it as “../upload/”
    BTW, thanks LL for this wonderful piece of work. I’m gonna surprise my wife-to-be with all the pics we had taken since its her birthday this Sun. =))

    i’m still interested in using imagemagick instead of gd/netpbm

    I noticed that when i use permalinks, the thumbnails will direct me to a page not found.
    However once i take out the pernalinks, it is ok.
    Anyone with any ideas on how to solve this?
    Also, how do i take out the heading of pictoralis?
    I know that it must have been discussed in the forums, but i cannot find it.
    Could someone please point me in the right direction?

    Pictorialis II: Framed!
    a wordpress photogallery system
    https://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2004/06/11/pictorialis-ii-framed/

    Hi,
    I just installed Pictorialis and everything worked fine, besides one small issue: I have lots of problems with ‘ and letters with accent.
    Could you please take a look?
    Thanks a look.

    I looked in the nightly and mingus versions of post.php and couldn’t find $UploadDir to put the url of the directory…could someone please help me?

    Is Pictoralis still being Supported as I’m not getting any replies on the Pictoralis forums?
    I’m having an issue with my archives – Can’t pinpoint it in my CSS, but have a look at how it is being rendered: https://www.northernpassages.com/photoblog/narchives.php
    The months are running into each other.
    As well i love the random thumbnail image and would like to make it the default, or edit the code to make it do it every time.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Pictorialis is really superb, once you get it up and running. But if you don’t have a degree in coding, or the ability to make friends with people who do, I wouldn’t attempt it. The support is shaky, and I suspect it’s because the creator probably didn’t realize how popular this WP rewrite would be. It’s a great idea, but is in desperate need of solid documentation and support. Pictorialis is not for the faint of heart. At all.

    Is there any way to update the original WordPress that comes with pictorialis to the 1.2.1?
    I love pictorialis but I need RSS
    Thanks
    Gaston
