Gallery Pagination

Download per this request.

If you want the pagination amount to be something other than what you set you main page to (meaning, if you set 10 posts to show on your main page then the gallery amount is the same as this), then edit line 368.

Wiki Down, Download Link Fixed

The download/readme links now point to the direct download zip file. 

Working on getting the wiki up - the new forum is working great but you'll have to reregister.

Lytebox - Enhanced Lightbox

Check out the details here.

The current gallery is already set to work with the classic lightbox. Aside from the normal installation instructions on the Lytebox homepage, you'll have to edit template_gallery_detail.asp - just find the two places where the code is:

rel="lightbox

and replace it with:

rel="lytebox

or

rel="lyteshow

lyteshow will give you some cool slideshow effects after the user click on the first image, e.g.,  my personal blog gallery.

Tiny Update - 8.0.1

New Version 8.0 Released

 The highlights are:

  • No more manually configuring the path to fckeditor, now it's done automatically. You really only need to edit your connection string now!
  • Users are of two types, Admin or not and this is set via the admin screens.  Admins have access to everything but you can change the view dynamically via a link at the top of the admin screens called "User View | Admin View" - User View gives you the admin screens as if you're just a regular user and Admin View brings back access to everything.  Only admins have this menu that's located at the top right of the main admin screen (screenshots).
  • Galleries are now tied to users and any user can create one (also fixed some path issues)
  • Plugin Module
  • Admin layout is separate from your template so now you have a lot more screen area to administer your blog (screenshots)
  • Error checking (javascript required) on all admin screens now
