Gallery sorting too
January 2nd, 2006
Figuring I was on a roll with sorting in Zenphoto, I decided to add the capability to sort the order of the albums as displayed in the Gallery. Given the work I had already done for image sorting, this effort was much easier. Check out the screenshot to the right.
Nice!
Again, I think the UI/workflow could do with some jazzing up, and I think Tristan is gonna put some of his javascript skills to good use on this front. Unless I get itchy fingers and try first!
For all those waiting, look for a new ZP release with sorting in it in the next week or so.

Looked at all your sorting work, and it’s spectacular. I’d like to do a portfolio site that integrates with WordPress 2.x. I know that sophisticated WP integration has been in the plans. Any progress on that front for ZP 1.0?

Thanks! As far as the WP integration I’m afraid that we haven’t made any specific progress on that front. There are quite a few more template functions that could be used for a better integration, and a pretty good tutorial on how to do so at the support forums. WP integration is definitely high on the list though.. as you can see.. I use WP here so the motivation is there for me too!

Regarding the Wordpress integration, it’s not the focus for 1.0, but seeing the horrid image upload interface in WP 2, it’ll probably come quick out of necessity…

[...] Anyway, zenphoto development has been very active recently. You can all thank Todd Papaioannou for his hard work on drag-n-drop sorting. Take a look at his posts describing the new features on his site. I think I can improve the interface a bit, but the functionality is all there and working beautifully. [...]
dude the sorting way is amazing, but i have a problem with zp 1.0, i sort the albums the i click “save order” i get this huge error:
MySQL Query ( UPDATE albums SET `sort_order`='1' WHERE `id`=23 ) Failed. Error: Unknown column 'sort_order' in 'field list'

Did you run upgrade.php? The sql error message would indicate other wise. If you did, check there were no errors.
