🏠Home 👪Gen ←Back ↑Top

Zenphoto is a CMS (Content Management System).   For this site, Zenphoto works very well and greatly reduces the time and effort involved in displaying Photographs and Video.

Zenphoto info:

• You can click on any image that is a link (shows a hand) for a larger view.
• When changing image size (Select image size) you may have to refresh your screen or do a << prev     next>>.
• The selectable image sizes range is from 200-1200 px. The ability to resize is dependent on the quality of the image.
• Use the back button to exit Slide show.
• The comment option in Zenphoto has been disabled due to continuous attacks by those trying to post adverts.

How    Z E N P H O T O    is used on this site.

Zenphoto/albums files are found:

1. Only on Dreamhost (SERVER) in the Zenphoto directory.
2. There are no (LOCAL) Zenphoto files.
3. The Zenphoto Albums(all the pictures) are not in the Zenphoto database. Have experienced corruption of the database, the albums/files integrity was not compromised.
4. Use to maintain a local copy of all the "zenphoto/album" files, worked but proved to be a problem keeping in sync.
5. Occasional Dreamhost backup maintained locally.

Zenphoto (the app running on Dreamhost) only uses the online (Dreamhost) files. Our application(s) online or local can access the online Zenphoto file structure independently.

To access Zenphoto from HTML PHP etc:

• For a Zenphoto file try:
      a href= "https://dwyne.net/path to your file/file name and extension" a description
• For a Zenphoto directory try:
      a href = "https://www.dwyne.net/dwyne/zenphoto/index.php?album=directory name" a description"

Zenphoto is quite forgiving, when adding a file you can bypass the Zenphoto Admin console by using FTP to upload to the required directory.
