Style for images with Photopress

Friday, December 16th, 2005

A few of you have noted that the CSS classes available by default for inserted images don’t work very well. centered does center images, but it adds a break so multiple images end up in a vertical column. alignleft and alignright are intended for wrapping text around images, so they’ll break your blog layout if [...]

Photopress 0.8.3

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

It took forever to wring out the bugs in this version.
New features and fixes:

Fixed the problem with uploading in IE, in the process made the MIME/extension checking work better.
Better error handling, including a check for the GD module for PHP.
Added some support for the rich editor in WordPress 2.0-RC1. If you’re not using the rich [...]

Photopress 0.8.1

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

I almost just appended a note about this version to the last post, but some of the new stuff is pretty spectacular. As usual, please let me know if you find anything broken.
New features and fixes:

Automatic permalink setup. Turn on the option and update your permalink structure at Options:Permalinks. Thanks to this page in the [...]

Photopress 0.8

Sunday, November 27th, 2005

I think I’ve squished enough of the bugs to share this version. Let me know about any bugs or annoyances you find.
New features:

Path and addresses in Options - if Photopress guesses badly you can easily enter a new path and addresses.
Up to ten images can be uploaded at once. (Is this enough?)
Now inserts simplified image [...]

Dasher 0.1

Saturday, November 19th, 2005

Dasher is a plugin that replaces the WordPress Dashboard with something more suitable for a multi-user blog with users who aren’t interested in WordPress development news. It includes an example welcome message in a separate file for easy modification.
Dasher is pretty simple (crude?). If you’re looking for something more feature-ful you probably want X-Dashboard.
Download dasher.zip.

Filez 0.1

Saturday, November 19th, 2005

Filez is a derivative of Photopress that adds a popup file uploader/browser to the Quicktags toolbar. I find it’s useful for uploading and making links to things like zipped plugin files.
Installation and use: Extract the archive in your Wordpress plugins folder. Activate the plugin. Create a folder named ‘files’ under ‘wp-content’ and make it writable. [...]

Translating Photopress

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

As of the latest version (0.7.3) I think the messages in Photopress are produced correctly so translations can be made as described here and here in the Wordpress Codex.
If you’re interested in making a translation, download this Portable Object Template. Translate the messages into your language (see this section in the WP Codex for [...]

Photopress 0.7.3

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

After trying the last release out on my blog with about 400 or so photos I realized the mass image editor needed a paging function. So now it lists 50 images at a time. I think some sorting would be nice next.
Deleting an image now deletes the original too. You can also set an option [...]

Fixing the sidebar

Monday, November 14th, 2005

When the option to list the posts containing an image is turned on the default Wordpress sidebar template thinks an image page in the Photopress album is a search page (it is - that’s how we know if an image is used in a post). While correct, this makes the sidebar ugly. But it’s such [...]

Photopress 0.7.2

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

This version fixes more of the bugs introduced with 0.7 and the database table. Thanks to Roge especially for spotting bugs and suggesting fixes. I also added a mass image info updater to Manage:Photopress Album for quicker data entry. If you’ve been waiting for a relatively stable 0.7, this is probably it.
Download Photopress 0.7.2: photopress.zip [...]

Photopress 0.7.1

Monday, November 7th, 2005

This version fixes a bunch of bugs introduced with the database table. No more errors with zero or one image uploaded. There’s now an option to retain the original images (disabled by default - see Options:Photopress to enable it). Finally, Photopress should now produce valid XHTML. Note that this required putting the album CSS in [...]

Photopress 0.7

Monday, October 31st, 2005

There’s a lot still wrong with this version, but I think it’s working well enough for testing now. The major change in this version is that Photopress now installs a table in the database. Information entered in the uploader form actually gets saved now.
For a new install, just extract the archive in your WP [...]

Welcome to familypress.net

Monday, January 24th, 2005

It’s mostly a place for Photopress, my Wordpress plugin, to live instead of at my personal web site. You’ll also find ideas about running a family weblog here eventually.
