This is just a quick bugfix release, which should solve some of the major problems with the previous one.

• Fixed a couple of SQL problems noted by a few people, namely the LEFT JOIN thing but also a weird thing where the default ORDER BY was missing.
• Fixed a Javascript problem that was keeping the insert buttons on the Browse popup from working. Basically, I’d forgotten to update the Browse JavaScript when I updated the Upload part.

Sorry this release took so long. I should probably call it 1.0 RC1 or something, but it seems way too buggy for that right now.

New features and fixes:

• The main change in this version is a new categories table, which required a bunch of changes all over the place.
• Uses buttonsnap to add a pretty button to the RTE’s toolbar. This can be disabled if desired.
• A watermarking function contributed by Marcus. It worked in my quick test, but more testing is likely in order.
• The album layout now uses a styled unordered list instead of a table, ala Plogger. If you’ve customized your template you’ll need to do it again, but it should be much easier now.

Unfixed bug: My uncle, a regular source of odd test cases, found a bug in the resizing function. A large but well-compressed JPEG can cause a fatal error in the resizing function due to excessive memory usage. A fatal error leaves no way (as far as I can tell) to display a message or delete the offending image. This is very lame. I’m working on a way to check how much memory an image will use before attempting to resize it, and cancel the upload gracefully.

If this version sounds too buggy for your tastes right now, 0.9.2 is still available: photopress-092.zip OR photopress-092.tar.gz. Note that it’s possible to track down even older versions over at wp-plugins.org.

It should work with both WP 1.5.2 and 2.0, but I could break support for 1.5.2 any time. If you’re upgrading from an earlier version of Photopress, make sure to de-activate and re-activate to update the database table (or use the Install DB tool).

New features and fixes:

• Display of non-English characters was broken but I think it’s fixed now.
• Per-category sort setting for the album. See Edit Categories in Manage:Photopress.
• A ‘close window’ link in image popups. This required big changes to the popup code, so please report any errors you see.
• Mass Resize should be smarter now (thanks Roge and kele). For mass importing, you can now drop a bunch of images in the photos folder, then run Mass Resize followed by Import Photos. I guess the Import Photos tool could just run Mass Resize as part of the process – anyone have an opinion?

Update: SHRIKEE noticed a bug so I did some testing and found a few more. Specifically, suppression of is_search on image pages in the album should now work properly. Inserted HTML code should be fixed. The image popup Javascript function should work again in Internet Explorer. Finally, I made a couple of changes to make the album prettier.

Update2: Stahn found a bug in pp_album_css.php, and suggested a better way to close the popup image windows. I noticed that the ‘Photos’ text for the buttons wasn’t translatable.

I’m thinking about comments for images, but I’m not sure how to proceed. Maybe create a post for each uploaded image, placed in a hidden category?

As usual, let me know what’s broken or needs work. Thanks again for all the bug reports and feature ideas!

This version includes a few fixes, and a couple of new features. It should work with both WP 1.5.2 and 2.0. If you’re upgrading, make sure to de-activate and re-activate to update the database table.

New features and fixes:

• Added a category slug field and code to use it – this should fix the permalink problems related to strange characters in category names.
• The popup tool shouldn’t throw Javascript errors anymore. I also added code to suppress the Browse tab if the tool is launched from the Manage page.
• There’s now some Javascript to change the Insert buttons a little to show users which images they’ve inserted.
• The popup tool’s Browse tag has a dropdown category menu that will display images images in a single category.
• The random image template function (pp_random_image_bare) can now display multiple random images. There are some details about it in the readme and the Photopress page.

This version is still mostly bug fixes, so I’m sticking with 0.8.x. It should work well with both WordPress 2.0 and 1.5.2.

New features and fixes:

• Fixed a bad bug in the duplicate renaming function. Also added a maintenance function to clean up filenames if you’ve uploaded a few with bad names.
• Fixed the bug Nonni found where ampersands in category names messed things up. Photopress should now handle ampersands in category names just fine.
• Fixed a few problems with permalinks. They work differently in WP 2.0, so I’m handling it with some version-specific code, which sucks.
