I finally added a delete function, but I haven’t had a lot of time to test it out yet. As far as I can tell it doesn’t do anything really harmful, but you never know.

I also figured out how to list posts containing an image. It’s turned off by default because it doesn’t work perfectly – the default sidebar thinks individual images in the album are searches when it’s turned on. This can be fixed by editing sidebar.php, but that’s lame.

Finally, Photopress now looks in your theme folder for a template called pp_album.php and uses that for the album template if it exists. Seems like it makes more sense for custom album templates to go in with the theme files, and now when upgrading there’ll be no need to worry about overwriting your custom template. If it doesn’t find a custom template it still just uses the default.

So, if you want to try it out, download photopress-0.5.1.zip or photopress-0.5.1.tar.gz. Let me know if you find anything broken, or if you have ideas about how to make it work better.

I guess I need to re-subscribe to the WP release notification list because it’s been 3 whole days since WP 1.5.1 was released. I upgraded my testbed and the latest Photopress seems to work well so far. As I’d hoped, the missing options page problem is now fixed, at least in a quick test of Photopress and WP Contact Form. I’d love to hear whether 1.5.1 fixes the path issues that Windows users have been having.

The biggest change is that the album category editor now groups images by category, so it sucks a little less. This release also includes a few bug fixes related to deleting an image or its thumbnail. This week I’m working on a way to delete images, separate user levels for Upload and Browse,

You can always find the most recent version (and older versions too if you know where to look) at wp-plugins.org.

Known issues:

• missing options: see this post for details
• broken buttons: try enabling the failsafe buttons on the options page
• broken album layout: edit album.php, in the photopress folder
• bad paths: the plugin tries to guess the right paths, but it sometimes fails – you can set the paths manually at the end of photopress-inc.php

Really just a small change – the album style is now all in album.php (in the photopress folder, which should be in your plugins folder). This should make it much easier for those of you using non-default themes to integrate the album.

Thanks to Jonathan the “upsizing” issue is now fixed – when you upload images smaller than your set maximum they won’t get resized. I’ve also switched the buttons to Alex King’s JS Quicktags, which seems to be compatible with ContactForm (no surprise since that’s where I borrowed the function from).
