Dear Theme Developers
Posted by marcel in Compatibility on 25 January 2010
Dear theme developers, your themes are really a beautiful piece of art. It is also wonderful to see how a web site can be improved by installing a new theme. However, please do not forget that your theme is also part of a larger piece of software called WordPress. So do not forget to use the WordPress template tags. Too often users complain that Lazyest Gallery does not work, simply because one or more template tags do not exist. So before you publish a theme, please check if
<?php wp_head(); ?>is present just before the</head>tag;<?php wp_footer(); ?>is present just before the</body>tag;<?php comments_template(); ?>is present preferably in single.php and page.php;<?php comment_id_fields(); ?>is present in comments.php<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>is present in comments.php
It is not too difficult to include these template tags, but it would make life much easier for us and other plugin developers.
Lazyest Gallery 0.15.6
Kenold Beauplan pointed me to a bug in the Lazyest Gallery admin screen. This bug only occurs after a clean install of Lazyest Gallery. If this issue affects you, please give 0.15.6 a try. Download 0.15.6 or upgrade automatically from the Plugins menu in your blog’s admin area. Cole found some more bugs. They have been fixed and the new version, which will be available shortly, is 0.15.6.1
Apostrophe revisited
Artem Russakovskii pointed me to an error which may occur in file names and folder names. When a file name contains apostrophes, or other characters not supported in an url, they were not correctly decoded, resulting in a Lazyest Gallery error. If you run into this error, or if you are planning to use file names with apostrophes, please update the Lazyest Gallery plugin to version 0.15.5. About a year ago, apostrophes in captions made Lazyest Gallery crash because of errors reading the xml files. Although I corrected that, I didn’t envision tat anyone would consider using apostrophes in file names or folder names.
Please mind, if you create new folders in the Lazyest Gallery file manager, you cannot use apostrophes.
I have added a button on the Lazyest Gallery settings page to generate missing tumbs and slides. This will speed up loading the gallery page for your visitors.
Bug fix for the Lazyest Gallery Slide Show
Posted by marcel in Bug, Javascript on 4 January 2010
When you select On Click → Nothing as action to perform when slides are clicked, the slideshow would display all slides in a column. This bug has been fixed in version 0.15.4
Lazyest Xmas
A Merry Christmas to all Lazyest Gallery users. Or, if you don’t believe in Christmas, I wish you all the best anyhow.
Lazyest Gallery 0.15.3 is now available for download. This release contains three bugfixes

Testers needed for Lazyest Gallery 0.16.0
Posted by marcel in Admin, Comments, Features on 26 January 2010
Lazyest Gallery 0.1.6.0 is almost finished. It took a while because the entire plugin is encoded again. This version includes the long awaited pretty permalinks for the gallery. Folders and photos will now appear as subpages of the gallery. Please note that it is not possible to use WordPress subpages of the gallery page.
