Large Galleries

Posted by: on Oct 8, 2010 in Lazyest Gallery | 3 Comments

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

Posted by: on Oct 1, 2010 in Lazyest Gallery | 6 Comments

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.

Faster galleries

Posted by: on Aug 20, 2010 in Lazyest Gallery | 7 Comments

For Lazyest Gallery 0.16.5, I made some small changes in the way (cached) thumbnails are created. In previous versions, all thumbnails were being created at the server while computing the code for this page. On galleries with many new images, this could mean long download times or even blank pages because of  a PHP time out. Now, all images cached or uncached will be created asynchronously after the page has loaded in your browser. This will improve the total loading time of your gallery dramatically.

Version 0.16.5 als contains bug fixes to display folder and image captions in the broswer title bar. Thanks to davidddn.

When you experience a "white screen of death" like discussed below, you need to update to version 0.16.6.

Redirect Comments

Posted by: on Jul 26, 2010 in Bug Fix, Lazyest Gallery | No Comments

Many users found a bug in the Lazyest Gallery comment system. After a user posted a comment on a folder or an image, Lazyest Gallery didn't come back to the originating page. This bug has been fixed in version 0.16.4
The Lazyest Gallery edit screen has been tweaked so it now also shows the number of images in sub folders.

Running Lazyest Gallery on WordPress 3.0

Posted by: on Jun 21, 2010 in Lazyest Gallery | 7 Comments

In WordPress 3.0,  the thumbnail gallery paging fails. Please download version 0.16.3 when your blog is running on WordPress 3.0.
In 0.16.3, it is also possible to have HTML code like links in the folder and image captions. The caption no longer links to the image (slide) page.

Lazyest Gallery is NOT compatible with WordPress 3.0 Multisite

Permissions Granted

Posted by: on Apr 7, 2010 in Bug Fix, Lazyest Gallery | 14 Comments

A bug in the Lazyest Gallery Admin screen prevented the Gallery edit permissions to be updated correctly. Only after refreshing the page, you could open the Folder screen to manage your images. Another bug intervered with the Images table sorting capability. Clicking on the table header did not sort the images.

Update
Version 0.16.2.1 fixes another sorting bug for subfolders.
Downlaod 0.16.2.1
