The Reichstag

The Reichstag building in Berlin, where the German parliament meets. The glass dome is really neat – it makes it very bright inside.

Photopress2 0.2

As expected, I found a bunch of bugs when testing the album. The biggie is that WordPress doesn’t make “real” attachment pages for attachments that don’t have parents. To make things really interesting, it does make sort-of attachment pages for logged-in users, but not for visitors. So, this version fixes the problem by linking directly to the image file when an image doesn’t have a parent.

I also added an option to turn off caching, mostly to make testing easier. In the same vein, just visiting the options page will now clear all caches and flushes the rewrite rules, which should help with some caching weirdness I was seeing.

Photopress2 0.1

While the uploading parts of Photopress aren’t very useful anymore, I still like some of the other features, such as the album and random image widget. So, this plugin adds an album, a widget, and a shortcode to display the images in your media library.

If you’re migrating from the old Photopress and used the migrate tools in 1.8 then Photopress2 will import your categories as tags for your migrated images.

To activate the album, create a new page with this in it somewhere: <!–pp2_album–>

If the page slug for your album page is something other than ‘photos’ go to Settings:Photopress2 and enter it there.

Enter tags during upload or when you edit an image.

Since this is the first version, there are bound to be some…issues – let me know what you find.

Ghost leaves

Long after all the other leaves have fallen, these leaves hang on, looking and sounding spooky. I found these at Wheaton Regional Park, where I also learned there’s still way too much slushy snow to wear Converse All-Stars.

Tire bumper on the Husky II

When I was there last year the Husky II looked pretty rough – it was surrounded by containment boom and looked like it had been underwater recently. I don’t know why the old thing really needs these tire bumpers – I can’t imagine anyone would want to tie up to it.
