WPG2 Theme

My gallery is powered by Menalto gallery2 with integration into Wordpress by WPG2. The theme I’m using for my gallery is custom made based on Siriux with influences from the theme by Pedro Gilberto. I’m using the Wuhan theme for Wordpress, but the gallery theme should look ok with any Kubrik based Wordpress theme, and I suppose it could be used in a standalone gallery2 install.

Requirements

  • Gallery 2 RC1 (or greater)
  • The theme has been designed to run with the Square Thumbnails module for gallery2, and I’m not really sure how will things will line up without the plugin.

Download the theme here

To install simply unzip into your gallery 2 themes/ directory and it should show as “OsakaNYC” in the gallery theme administration.

Feel free to use and/or modify this theme as you wish, but please retain proper credit.

Known bugs

  • Fixed 03/22/2006 - URLs are not being formatted correctly when using the URL Rewrite module
  • Fixed 03/22/2006 - When using the EXIF/IPTC module, EXIF/IPTC information does not appear for a picture when the user is logged in. (This is a very odd buggger).
  • Admin pages are very kinda ugly

Other outstanding items

  • I have not tested this with the gallery comments, shopping cart, or any other non core modules, so I don’t know if they will break things.
  • Currently theme.inc is overriding the loadCommonTemplateData() method to work around bug 1239125 in gallery. This bug has been reported as fixed, but I haven’t checked out the latest gallery2 code to check.

    Are you still using Gallery2 for your photos?

    I see they are coming from Flickr? Either way It’d be nice to know how you set that up?

    Great site!

    Actually I’m no longer using Gallery2. I had a hosting meltdown and when I got a new host I went with a much smaller plan in terms of disk space, so I’m now using flickr to host my pictures.

    The plugin I’m using to display them inline with wordpress is FAlbum, but it does some things I don’t really like (i.e. no permalink to the photo page) which I’m looking into fixing on my own. I also don’t know if the developer is still working on it as there is another flickr/wordpress plugin going on, but I really don’t like the way that one displays the gallery.

    And wow, I’m back on Gallery2. I’m using a slightly simpler theme for wpg2 this time, but maybe I’ll brush them both up if anyone wants.
