Integrating ZenPhoto into Wordpress

Author einar | 06.08.2007 | Category plugins, wordpress, zenphoto

ZenPhoto is a great image gallery written in php that I use on another page I have. It has a great admin interface and themes that are simple to use. I wanted to integrate it into a Wordpress blog so I looked around on the net and found a great article about it by a guy named Steffen Rusitschka. It explains how you can get your ZenPhoto gallery to look like your blog by including some Wordpress pages in your ZenPhoto theme. The article is at http://www.ruzee.com/blog/2006/06/integrating-zenphoto-into-wordpress/.

His method works great but there were a few things that bugged me about it. Read More…

Yet Another Random Quote, with editing

Author einar | 30.07.2007 | Category plugins, wordpress

On my old site I used to have a random quote feature. When I moved to Wordpress I missed it so I found a plugin that displayed random quotes. It was called Yet Another Random Quote (yarq for short) and lives at http://openmonday.org/2006/07/31/yet-another-random-quote/. It’s a good plugin and works well, but it could only add and delete quotes, not edit existing ones. So I changed it a bit, added editing functionality and moved the quote text fields above the quote list, which I thought was better when you had a lot of quotes. After I’d changed it I emailed the author twice to ask him if he wanted to use my changes in his next version but never heard back from him. So I´m gonna distribute my version here:

Download

You can use Options->YARQ to change the display format, and Manage->Quotes to add, edit and delete the quotes. If my changes ever make it to the trunk I’ll stop distributing it here and just link to the main version. If Frank van der Brink ever reads this, get in contact with me at tech [at] einaregilsson.com and I’ll send you the patch for my changes.
