I needed a bitmap viewer and now I have it.
Not only, I can play FLV files and a number of other formats using zenphoto.
Skills:Minimal, believe me, if I can do it.....
Knowledge of the "Hello World" patch (search this forum if you are unfamiliar with it)
Requirements:Fengoffice installed (1.6 and 1.7rc works well; I can't tell about earlier vers)
FTP access to your server will be enough although SSH terminal will be faster
Access to create MySQL database/user
Howto:- Download zenphoto here: http://www.zenphoto.org/
- Familiarize yourself with the requirements http://www.zenphoto.org/2008/08/installation-and-upgrading/
- Create the database with MySQL
- Create a user to access the database
- Create a new place for the gallery (I opted for a folder in the FO root .../zenphoto/)
- Upload the files
- Rename the file .../zenphoto/config.php.source to config.php
- Edit the config.php file to include your own database details
- Create an empty .htaccess file in the .../zenphoto/ folder
- Create an empy robots.txt file in the .../zenphoto/ folder
- Run the .../zenphoto/zp-core/setup.php and follow the instructions given by the resulting page (I had to run it many times before I got all green checks
- Once all checks out, run the "GO" button to create the tables and finalize the installation
- The setup will take you to create an admin account
At this point you should have a fully functional installation of the zenphoto gallery at .../zenphoto/index.php and you should have an admin access at .../zenphoto/zp-core/admin.php
The only thing left is to follow the instructions for the "hello worlds" to add a tab and get your gallery to run inside fengoffice.
Good luck
