Fixing Photopress for WP 2.0

I’m working on getting Photopress to work well with WordPress 2.0, but it’s not quite there yet. If you’d like to try what I’ve done so far, download photopress-wp2.zip. Note that you’ll need to disable the rich text editor for image inserts to work right.

Update: I’ve replaced the above file with a new version that seems to work better. Image inserts should work under the rich text editor too now.

    Right doing some quick googling..

    Im guessing with PP is kinda pastes it into the text editor I might have to look at the code but because WP 2.0 used TinyMCE this script comes with plugins which is nice i’ve found this http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/tinymce/docs/plugin_paste.html
    and this http://drupal.org/node/21985 so its possible that a plugin might have to be added i’m not sure though… i’ll continue to look :)

    Reporting, now the album works but screws up the style. The link to the album dissapeared (?pp_album=main). I’m using my own pp_album_css.php, maybe that’s the problem.

    As an completely paranoid suggestion, my CSS editor said that the CSS should use ‘-’ instead of ‘_’. The way the archives and CSS code should be: pp-album-css.php.

    Some warning that using ampersands in category names is a very bad thing would be good. ;) I love photopress, but now I’m stuck in a position of figuring out exactly how to edit picture categories when I can’t access the pictures.

    I’d do it through phpMyAdmin, but I can’t seem to find where any of photopress’s settings “live” in there.

    If you could point me in the right place to look, I’d appreciate it.

    I almost forgot! If you gonna make the plugin with categories, make them “virtual”! Remember us, the poor people with PHP Safe Mode On =)

    I couldn’t check the updated version of the plugin, hope to do so before new year.

    I installed WP2.0 and PP0.8.5 and everything works great exept for the PP permalinks, none work. i tried craeting a new .htaccess file and also rewriting the permalink structure several times. Nothing worked so far :(

    Clarkconnect linux 3.1, FC3 / apache 2.0.53 / php 4.10.x? SOmething like this…
    No safemode i have mod_rewrite on, as it works on WP itself :)

    Permalinks are a bitch… i hope you can find a fix isaac ;)

    i Just noticed that PP isnt writing anything to the .htaccess also nothing changed when i enabled permalinks in PP and then updated the permalinkstruct.

    I sense the problem lies there…

    Ok, now I fully tested it.

    Same problem as shrikee with permalinks, I always had to update it manually, it was a pain because I use a lot of pages… fortunately, with WP 2 that thing is solved, but it’s Photopress isn’t “smart” in that sense :P

    Now the link to the album works! (?pp_album=main) but I have to redo the CSS again… since I don’t have time I’ll stick with my customized version of 0.83.

    I can’t wait to see some future improvements :)

    Apart from the permalink problem, I also get an error in the admin area when opening and using the uploader-popup: “tinyMCE object reference not found from popup.”. It does this only under Manage:PhotoPress, not under Write:Post or Write:Page.

    The uploader still works, but you do keep getting an annoying javascript warning message.
