Features
- Wide layout (950 pixels) puts title/caption information and a large photo (700 pixels wide) side by side. Navigation, caption, search, and image are viewable on common laptop resolutions (down to 1024x768) without scrolling.
- Custom-color field allows you to pick a color from each photo and incorporate it into the design elements (e.g. lines and hover backgrounds) on that photo’s page. If the custom field is left blank, the page defaults to a gray and black palette (useful for grayscale images).
- Comment input form is revealed as your scroll down (or use the comment jump link) and stays in a fixed position as you read through the comments. (Internet Explorer users get a normally-positioned form).
- Rob Sable’s LiveSearch plugin is integrated: text searches output live thumbnail results on a semi-transparent overlay.
- Nathan Arthur’s tagging plugin is integrated: you can assign tags to a photo within Textpattern’s interface (as keywords), and the template allows for Flickr-style categorization and browsing.
Shortcomings / Bugs / To-Do List (v.1.0)
- zem_contact_reborn integration seems buggy (or is it just my installation?).
- Messy URL mode still not supported.
- Omniweb doesn’t recognize min-height on title/caption sidebar, so comment input box sticks out when captions are short.
- tru_tags plugin does not support paging, so tag pages will contain more and more thumbnails as archive builds up.
- RSS feed includes title and caption, but not the image itself (due to the use of a custom field).
