make a file called gallery.php into your themes folder. Put in the code:

<?php /*
Template Name: Gallery
*/
?>


and then put in a php include to the gallery installation. Create a “page” thats based off of the template name Gallery. That will create a WordPress ‘Page’ for the gallery.

Then you need use the WP version of Simple PHP gallery that was edit to work with 1.5. That should have calls all the WordPress code thats needed. If you dont want a sidebar go into the sp_index file and delete the call to the sidebar.

There’s quite a few threads on the board about working with SPG.

H scroll on 10×7? I’m running that rez at home and I dont get any scrolling… and its not too squished on my screen… hmmm.. I just resized the flash player and I get minimal scrolling on 8×6… I might edit that post with a more tag ??

But yeah… I’m going to play around with the top nav. maybe make it a little bit bigger… maybe instead of black a dark deep maroon or blue.

If you upload in WordPress… it creates a seperate thumbnail image…

so in the excerpt you’d use code like: img src=”thumb-imagename.jpg” and in the actual post you’d put in the code to the full sized image. WordPress creates a file called thumb-imagename when you tell it to create thumbnails on upload.

if your doing an external image… say one hosted off a news site or something. you can just hardcode the dimensions for a thumb ie: img src=”blahblah.com/image.jpg” height=75 width=75

I havent seen a plugin to do this… but it is possible:

1. setup your WordPress to post excerpts on your frontpage more info here

2. Upload your images in WordPress and make thumbnails when you do.

3. Use Image Browser that will help organize and create a link to the thumbnail. And put the thumbnail and whatever text you want in the excerpt.

Now… I havent tried this.. but in theory it should work. I have put thumbnails in the excerpt in the past to have the thumb in my feed.

jinsan: are you browsing with Safari? I get that too… but in Firefox the style comes through… something with how some ppl have thier site setup I guess.. there was another site posted here with the same thing happening…

Just so you know… and it might just be my computer… but the style sheet doesnt come through on Safari. Not sure why or if its just my browser… but looks great on firefox on the mac.

wow… no replies… nobody has feedback?

Flakkito: do you know if your server has GD or rather version 2.0 GD or higher? It might not be creating the thumbs becuase of that. I believe it will disable thumbs if it has GD 1.x

userx: I think adding a float:left in the #single CSS entry is going to fix ya

I’ve figured out a fix on my site. I’m running a sidebar on the leftside. I pulled the get_sidebar call up from the bottom of sp_index to the top of the file… basically how the theme is designed.

What I did to get the single image page to show up correctly is this: As I thought, it was a positioning problem. There is a ID called ‘single’ that has no positioning. I added a float:right to it and viola! everything is looking nice… even in IE ??

here’s the line that I changed:

#spg #single {
float: right;
padding:3px;
border:1px solid #aaa;
/*-moz-border-radius:5px;*/
background:#ddd;

If you’re having problems with the single image page, take a look at this line and play around with it… might work.

Mine too… I think the probably is something in the CSS… I havent played around with it yet, but the div that’s in the getFile call (either in the sp_index or in sp_helper_functions) isnt happy with the sidebar. I’m running a float:left sidebar and I put the get_sidebar call at the top right under the get_header, like the theme calls for, and everything but the page where you get the single image views fine. I havent had time to really dive into all the CSS but I’m guess imagewrap might have a positioning issue.

here is my example

I just applied the Kubric theme and added a few touches… still working on customizing it… but I love how it reads now…

Thanks for the input…
ayteale: nope i think I can juggle both ?? i’ll be definately keeping up with the photoblog ?? First passion is photography, second is graphics and design ??
Faewench: I’ll give that a try and see how it looks. thanks ??

Yeah maybe people will start switching over to WP… i think its a much better system.
