captions.xml everywhere
When you install Lazyest Gallery for the foirst time, you have to set where your gallery can be found on your server.
If you would leave this field blank, Lazyest Gallery would take the WordPress root as your gallery. Files called captions.xml would be created in all directories.
Lightbox, Thickbox and Pagination
It seems we're on a release per week scheme. Two bugs have been reported during the last 8 days. One of them is a major bug in the pre and post cycle for lightbox users. The other one is a minor bug that concerns only post with two folder shortcodes in one post.
Title Bug
Lazyest Gallery did not display the browser title correctly. Separators got mixed up and spaces were omitted. This was corrected in version 1.0.8.
Vesion 1.0.9 offers a workaround for a PHP4 bug, and version 1.0.10 fixes a bug for comment redirection for comments on images
Dear PHP 4 users
Dear PHP4 users,
Since version 1.0, Lazyest Gallery decodes the caption and description text according to the character set used by your blog. However, a bug in PHP4 issues a warning like: Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /home/myserver/wp-content/plugins/lazyest-gallery/inc/functions.php on line 140.
As you probably know, PHP version 4 is not supported anymore since the end of 2008. Please upgrade to PHP version 5 as soon as possible. If your hosting company doesn't support an upgrade to PHP 5, maybe it's time to look for another.
Some Bug fixes
Working on version 1.1, we found some bugs in the 1.0.x version. These bugs have been fixed in version 1.0.4.
- Bug fix: Comment-Image link does not get deleted automatically
- Bug fix: Choosing flash/browser upload creates 404 error
- Bug fix: Context title for edit structure appears partially
- Bug fix: Roles to edit a folder were empty or erroneous
If you want to know more about the features of Lazyest Gallery 1.0.x, please read 64K = 1.0, Descriptions in thumbnail view, and Large Galleries.
Large Galleries
Loading of large galleries with many sub-folders and images is painstakingly slow in the lazyest gallery admin pages. To accommodate this, a new option 'large gallery' has been added. By selecting this option, all features decreasing the loading speed will be disabled.
Descriptions in thumbnail view
One thing we have forgotten in Lazyest Gallery version 1.0, is the option to display folder and image descriptions in thumbnail view. This has been enabled in version 1.0.2.
Permalinks could not be activated for Lazyest Gallery when wordpress is installed in a subdirectory. A bug in the rewrite rules caused 404 - page not found errors. This bug has been fixed.
Download version 1.0.2 from the WordPress plugin directory or use the plugin update function in your blog Admin.
Comments reloaded
While implementing a new theme for this site, I noticed some awkward behavior on the gallery page. After clicking on the link for older comments, the page got reloaded over and over in an endless loop. Lazyest Gallery loads a small javascript to search for an item that goes with the comment and displays the relevant folder or image if found. This javascript got triggered even when no particular comment was present in the url. This has been fixed by changing the javascript and the comments template.
Another problem was that this theme automatically adds line break and paragraphs to the content. This resulted in huge gaps in the gallery display. I have explicitly hidden some parts of the gallery to prevent this.
Please download and install Lazyest Gallery version 1.0.14 to fix these bugs.
