Although everytime i post i get this error "Warning: main(ABSPATH/wp-admin/auth.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory" although the post still posts fine and everything seems to work ok. I have checked the directory and made sure the file was there. Any ideas? I am running WP 1.5 and your plugin is working great.

For WP 1.5 the intention was to omit the picture posts from the loop in a number of cases, but apparantly I missed the front page. 2) You can try to set the pp_image_cat option, but I am not using this myself, so I am not sure it if works and if it does what you intend. Frando,

First of all, I like your plugin very much, it's the best photogallery plugin i've found till now! I'm using wordpress 1.5, and it seems to be running well! just two points: 1) is it possible to make the picture post not appear on the front page? because if I create a photogallery with 20 entries, there's nothing on the home page than all these photos... 2) where can I set the category to which the photos belong? They have always just the same category than the gallery post they belong to, but it would be rather useful to have them all together in a "PictPress"-gallery or something like this... I've looked through pictpress.php, but I didn't find the call which sets the category belongings.. best regards, Frando Hello!

So far, I can create a new post, supplying the pre-made directory full of images (and the matching postslug). PictPress generates the post, creates the cache dir but doesn't create the thumbnails (or at least doesn't place them anywhere I can see) I have allowed for echoing of $image and $cache per your suggestions in above comments, and it looks like the cache directory is null - see below message from my browser when I click on what should be the full-image link: PictPress loaded image: '/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/2005/06/hawaii/john-and-boys-hawaii.jpg', cache: '' While this is probably a smoking gun, where can I look to ensure that it isn't simply a symptom of another issue? I have set cache dir in the options, but have also noticed there is no "Save" or "Update Options" button on the pictpress options page... maybe the options aren't really set? I am using: - Fedora core 3 - PHP 4.3.11 './configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-gd' '--with-zlib' '--with-jpeg' - Wordpress 1.5 - Pictpress 1.0alpha plugin from subversion - Firefox 1.0.4 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4) The server is under my full control, so I can make any edits suggested.

I could not test the GD2 functions because I do not have that on my system. The ImageMagick part seems to work (see http://www.curioso.org/2004/08/29/treble/).

I assume this would scale the smallest dimension to a preset size and crop the largest dimension to the same size. I have some ideas on how to integrate this with the rest, i.e. the cache directory and my resize.php script. I would also have to add yet another option :-( Petzlux, can you provide me with the PHP function that you are referring to to generate square thumbnails?

BUT, I still have one issue. I know its probably annoying, but Curioso, would it be possible for the script to generate square thumbnails ?? They would just look better in the layout and would be easier to neatly write CSS for. I dont know if it would be much work, I found a php function that generates square thumbnails, but, as it seems pictpress uses one function to output thumbs and the resized images. I dont know how to discernate then between the case when pictpress requests a thumbnail or a resized pic. Curioso, have you encountered that , and would you be willing to tell me if this would be feasible to have square thumbnails ?
