Upgrade

Ok, I’ve upgraded wordpress to 2.5, looks like the only thing that broke is that the needed update of WPG2 blew away the wrapper styles for gallery. So for now things are going to be ugly over in that corner.

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.

FF 1.5 spell check options?

Hmmm, aparently the google toolbar spell checker doesn’t play nice with the WordPress WYSIWYG editor. It ended up leaving junks divs in the post that don’t display, but do get included in the RSS. Spellbound doesn’t seem to work with 1.5.x either. :( Any one have other options?

UPDATE: I’ve found out by simply editing the max version numbers Spellbound will work with 1.5.x.  You can find the files already edited here.
