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.

Nothing too exciting in this version, but if you’re using index.php-based permalinks you’ll want it.

New features and fixes:

• index.php-based permalinks should work now. Thanks to SHRIKEE for spotting and testing this fix.
• Added a mass resize function. Thanks to Roge for the idea and code.
• Added an image rotate function.

What I’m doing next: I think I’ll add category slug and hide image fields to the DB table, plus the bits for working with them. This should lay the groundwork for eventually storing a category’s images in a category-slug-named subfolder of the photos folder. With a lot of images it gets crazy storing them all in the same folder.

A few of you have noted that the CSS classes available by default for inserted images don’t work very well. centered does center images, but it adds a break so multiple images end up in a vertical column. alignleft and alignright are intended for wrapping text around images, so they’ll break your blog layout if you don’t have enough text in a post. In the next version I’ll probably include an empty class for the default as a sneaky way to avoid complaints. However, you really should use a custom class. Here’s how:

Edit your theme’s style file (style.css), inserting a new class or classes to use for your images. This one adds some padding and a border:

img.pp_style {
padding: 3px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}

Now add pp_style to the list of classes at Options:Photopress. The first one in the list will be the default when you insert images using the Upload/Browse popup tool.

You can do the same thing for random images. By default they use the centered class but at Options:Photopress you can enter any class you’d like.

It took forever to wring out the bugs in this version.

New features and fixes:

• Fixed the problem with uploading in IE, in the process made the MIME/extension checking work better.
• Better error handling, including a check for the GD module for PHP.
• Added some support for the rich editor in WordPress 2.0-RC1. If you’re not using the rich editor it works as usual.

Updates: Fixed the problem that Prashant found with having 2 images next to each other on a line (me and regexps never have gotten along that well). Fixed the problem Miroslav found with the no-album option (it was being ignored entirely). Fixed a problem Kaibo found with using exif_imagetype – now it falls back to the slower getimagesize if you don’t have the exif stuff installed.

I almost just appended a note about this version to the last post, but some of the new stuff is pretty spectacular. As usual, please let me know if you find anything broken.

New features and fixes:

• Automatic permalink setup. Turn on the option and update your permalink structure at Options:Permalinks. Thanks to this page in the codex.
• Paging and sorting in mass edit and browse were a bit broken but should be fixed now. I also added sorting by category.
• The mass editor now has a delete field, and also popup links to images.
• I added a category manager where you can change category names.
• album.php has been renamed to pp_album.php. Now you don’t have to rename it if you copy it to your theme folder.
• Choice of CSS classes when inserting images into posts. Enter a space-separated list of classes to use in options, with your favorite first.
• Inserting code from the uploader or browser doesn’t close the window anymore.
