New Demo Page…and Author Galleries in 0.3.01
Hi PhotoSmashers! I’ve created a new demo page here on Smashly. Eating one’s own dogfood and all that. Check it out…load some images!
Working on Version 0.3.01
In other news, the next version of PhotoSmash will bring you an option to show all contributors’ images in their WordPress Author page. I’m kind of excited about figuring out a way to enable that without having you tweak your templates with template tags. I wanted the images to show up at the top of Author page, so what I did was tap into the get_posts WordPress hook and use a little PHP array magic to “unshift” a new Post onto the posts array. When WordPress does the loop, it displays the gallery just like a gallery embedded in any other post. The gallery can use custom layouts, custom fields, etc, just like any other gallery. The only trick is that it will contain all the images by a given contributor, and it will not contain an upload form…of course ;P .
I hope to have 0.3.01 out the door to you guys this weekend!
Cheers,
Byron

The demo is great. Question! I see one of my photos displayed. It has been in a gallery on my site for a few days now. Just joined “Smashly” this a.m. I did not submit it and I am curious to know how the photo was aquired/entered.

Hi Bob,
Thanks!
As to your image appearing in the gallery, it is likely that someone saved it from your gallery and uploaded it the Smashly demo as a test. I will gladly take it down if you’d like…just let me know which image it is. This is one of the problems with allowing users to upload images…it is difficult to know if what they upload is their own or what the license the image was originally licensed under.
Again, just let me know which image(s) are yours and I’ll gladly remove.
Cheers,
Byron

Hej,
I just started using WordPRess and creating the webpage above and would like to enable subscribers to upload their photos (as well as links to own their gallery)to the site. Voting ao would be great…
Searching the web I found the PhotoSmash. Seems just great and installed the plug in and updated it this morning.
However, I may miss some basics as no add photo or similar gets visible once installed and the boxes checked. Would you have some GetGoing support for WP-newbies?
Best regards

BRas,
I’ve added a Getting Started page, which basically copies the getting started from the readme…I need to add more later, but this should get you going: Getting Started
Cheers,
Byron
