G2 Remote | iPhoto
Filed under Nerd Talk
Do you know about Gallery Remote? It’s a handy desktop interface so that you can upload entire folders of images to a site. I use it for my personal (schatzkin.com) photography site (with Xoops, but no difference, really). I could not upkeep my site otherwise; it would take too long to upload images one by one. Another feature is that it lets you resize on the fly, en masse.
However, for Mac users, there an iPhotoToGallery plugin that will do the same thing, ‘cept smarter, faster, better.
I’m currently in the process of converting my personal site from Xoops to WP, so there’s a few wonky things on it right now.

Here’s an online PDF Creator you can use to convert any type of document to a PDF. Nifty! It takes up to 1mb of data and can convert docs to any images format (TIFF, JPEG, etc.) as well.
Goodbye, fGallery — Hello, NextGEN! | WordPress Plugin
Filed under Nerd Talk
I’ve been very fond of the simplicity of fGallery and fGallery+, but lately we’ve run into several problems with it (see fGallery sorting problem and fGallery+ Table does not exist). Although I don’t mind digging around in code now and then for solutions, I decided to cut my losses and look for a gallery that works without tweaking.
Enter NextGEN. This has the simplicity of fGallery with some more robust features found in photo gallery giants like Gallery2. Plus a few really nifty features that really work, such as letting the using upload a zip file of images and automatically extracting them; and, a GUI interface for ordering your galleries, which is my favorite feature.
We have a training video here, check it out!

For thepawnshoppresents.com, the site for filmmaker Alex Pearcy, we pulled out all the stops. There’s flashfader on the home page, a rotating header (meaning it changes when you reload the page), ambient sound on the home page, drop-down menu, and video using VideoPop.
fGallery sorting problem | WordPress plugin
Filed under Nerd Talk
I’ve had another problem with fGallery — which I generally like, although it does seem a bit buggy — which is that the sort doesn’t seem to work on two sites I’ve created. I’ve fixed this problem by going into the code itself (*gasp!*) and put the sort order in manually, to whit:
in fim_functions.php, line 501:
return $wpdb->get_results(”SELECT * FROM $table_cat WHERE status = ‘$status’ ORDER BY $order_by $order_type”);
change to
return $wpdb->get_results(”SELECT * FROM $table_cat WHERE status = ‘$status’ ORDER BY date $order_type”);
