Photo-Biyori with WordPress 2.5

tomo — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 05:57:28 +0000

WordPress 2.5 was released today!
I tested my photolog theme “Photo-Biyori” on WP 2.5. It seems to work fine. However, the layout of Photoress (pb-mods) option page and the pop-up window for uploading files in the admin panel is broken. Here is a quick fix for it.

photopress_pb1.1.zip

Please make sure to deactivate all plugins when you update the WP to 2.5 and to deactive Photopress (pb-mods) plugin when you replace it with the new Photoress (pb-mods) files.

How to add tags to posts

In index.php and single.php of the Photo-Biyori theme files, Change the code below:

PB: Photo-Biyori + Lightbox

tomo — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 02:06:16 +0000

I use Lightbox to show a larger photo at my photolog. Photo-Biyori has Lightbox code in it and below is how you can use it.

You still need to find a Lightbox Plugin for Wordpress, though. I tested with:

Lightbox 2.0 for WordPress
WP lightbox JS WordPress Plugin

They work fine with the Photo-Biyori. There are many other Lightbox plugins and any of them should work if it uses rel="lightbox" in the image tag.

Once you install and activate a Lightbox plugin, go to Options > Photopress and change the settings:

Keep original images: Yes
Link to album: Photo-Biyori + Lightbox

Update options.

Prepare an image with the size that you want it to show in the Lightbox window and upload it with the PB-Mods Photopress. When you instert the image, it should insert the code something like below and show the larger image (originally uploaded image file size) when the main image clicked:

PB: Plugin - Show Latest Thumbnail

tomo — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 01:37:41 +0000

If you’d like to show the latest thumbnail of your Photo-Biyori site to another blog, give this plugin a try. It’s still a beta version, so please let me know if you find any bugs.

Plugin doesn’t work if…

your PB site forbids linking to files. (hotlinks)
your PB site address is different from the WP address.

Installation:

Download the plugin. (Last updated: 09/01/2007)
pb-latest-thumb.zip
Upload “pb-latest-thumb” folder into your PB site’s plugins directory.
Activate “PB Show Latest Thumb”. There is no options for this plugin.

How to Show the Thumbnail

Add the code below to the page, where you’d like to show the latest thumbnail.

* Change your_photoblog.com and your photolog title. It should work on non-WordPress sites but I haven’t tested yet.

PB: Customize the Background Color

tomo — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 03:13:04 +0000

Since I love customizing the theme and would love you to customize the Photo-Biyori, I’ll show you here how to customize the background color of the Photo-Biyori site. It’s pretty easy. ;)

First, here is the sample.
This is the default color for the PB LT and this is after.

Changes:
in style.css:
background-color: #xxxxxx; inside body, #wrap, #header and #footer tags.

in header.php:
background-color: #xxxxxx; inside tag.

In the sample site, I changed it to #000000 (black).

Depend on the color you pick, the title text might not look good. In that case, change:

style.css:
#xxxxxx after /* blog title text color */
