   I've been hunting for the right photoblog software, and this certainly looks like a contender. But one thing that's important to me (when I wear my photographer's hat) is IPTC support. I've coded metadata into most of my photos because I don't trust external databases (what if I want to switch programs). I see lots of EXIF support, which is nice, but for titles, captions, etc., you really need IPTC!

   
   

   Thanks for your feedback! IPTC is a good point - But i've to look if the used EXIF-Reader supports it. As far as i read into that topic, it's a little bit difficult since every program handling IPTC interprets it's fields a little bit differently. But i'll definitly have a look as soon i've time for it. Happy Photoblogging!

   
   

   Stumbled upon this GPL library - Now i have to take the time to evaluate it.

     I second Andrew's comment re IPTC. This is critically important as all the data that you need to display against the images resides in here.
     Overall it looks good, but I can't find basic instructions as to how you set it up! I go to the forum and your links then cycle back to the website pages where I came from!!! Q1 - how do I set up a page to display YAPB images? Keep up the good work though and don't be discouraged!!

   Danke!

   
   

   I tested your plugin against WP 2.1 Alpha 3 and so far it has worked flawlessly. It is so simple to install and configure…now all I have to do is adapt it to my site theme.

   
   

   This is one of the easiest photo plugins available — a job well done!

   
   

   Thank you for making this available to the WP community.
   

   
   Thanks for your feedback - I developed it on WP 2.0.4. - Nice to hear they didn't change to much in 2.1. If you have time and have a YAPB photoblog up please post it to success stories in the forum - thanks!

   Awesome plugin,
   
   Easy to use and install - Just wish there was a way to add multiple pictures to the same post - Any plans ?
   
   Cheers
   Neil
   
   Hi Neil - Thanks for the nice feedback! Concerning multiple photo upload: There are plans - But i want to do a final release before i do that. There are many points to be thought of before that can be realized.

   Hey, Johannes. Great plugin. Seems to work flawlessly in the tests I've done (so far, been installed a couple of hours).

   
   

   I'll second the option of adding multiple photos per post and add a checkbox for using Lightbox, which you seem to like too :)

   
   

   I currently use WPG2 in mine and also link to Flickr a lot, so this should be a nice addition (although I worry of having the pics all over the place)
   

   
   

   Hi eduo - Thanks for your feedback! Sorry to say that, but i don't think YAPB will ever be able to handle multiple images/post. In my eyes, that's a feature of gallery plugins - And there are a lot of very good ones for WordPress. And Lightbox is definitly a theme-topic. YAPB gives you the possibility to handle the photoblog backend thing - The automatic frontend customization is just a feature for beginners in my eyes. To get a stylish photoblog, you will have to adapt your theme manually.

   How can i download the software!???
   

   
   

   Ah, sorry for the inconveniences -  This was the result of switching my domain to another server while i'm ill. The site is fully functionable now.

   Hi Johannes,

   
   

   It seems that your plug-in is very interesting but when I try to download it I get the 404 error. Can you check what happened?

   
   

   Thanks
   Luis
   

   
   Never switch your domain to another server while you're ill - You'll forget to migrate half of the content. Like i did. The download is available again now - Though i'm still ill ;-)

   Excellent it works again!

   
   

   I am going to test drive this great piece of software!

   
   

   Arrigato!

   
   

   Just curious: How do you know that this is a great piece of software if you didn't even tested it before?

   uhm! :$

   
   

   Say where in heavens name should the "phpThumb_1.7.4" be installed!

   
   

   Well i'll try and figure this out but... doesnt seem to work right now! :/

   
   

   (1) phpThumb 1.7.4 is part of the YAPB distribution - All should work "out-of-the-box" (2) Please first search and then ask your questions in the forum as mentioned in the big, yellow and hardly overreadable announcement above (3) thank you.

    Hi umair - Please consider an upgrade to WordPress 2.x. YAPB relies on some functions available only under versions 2+. One of these is the table creation on activation of the plugin. Hoped that helped and greets from Salzburg, Johannes

    Hi,

    
    

    After installing, it appears that the database was not initialised correctly - and I received the following error:

    
    

    WordPress database error: [Table 'wp_blog.wp_yapbimage' doesn't exist]
    SELECT id,uri FROM wp_yapbimage ORDER BY id

    
    

    WP Version: 2.0.5

    
    

    I hope this helps,

    Hi agei - Please post such questions to the forum - The comments section of my blog isn't a good mechanism to discuss things. Looking forward to hear from you, Johannes

    I was trying YAPB out on my blog with some of my son's art - thinking that this is better than a refridgerator. Error I am getting is on posting of:
    Error: File /home/wirecro2/public_html/merewisdom/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/ryan-marine-drawing.jpgdoes not exists!

    
    

    I did a 'chmod 777 wp-content/plugins/yet-another-photoblog/cache' with no problems from the directory above, so do not know what the issue is. Looks like a great idea!

    
    

    Hi James - First of all: Please post your questions to the forum - That's a much better place to discuss things. There's a YapbDiagnostics-File too, which helps to find installation issues sometimes (And gives me good information where to look).

    Hello! I'd like to thank you for this great plugin! It's very simple to set up and very nicely put together. :)

    
    

    Hey! One positive feedback! Thanks! Seems that satisfied users don't bother to give positive feedback in general - They just use the plugin - and i've seen many sites using YAPB even not linking back.

    URGENT PROBLEM: After I activated the plugin, nothing at all from my site can be viewed and I can no longer access the admin control panel to deactivate the plugin.

    
    

    Delete the plugin files on your webspace and WordPress recovers - if the plugin was the cause for your crash.

    I installed this today but I'm having an installation problem which I posted in the forum.

    
    

    Thanks very much for your help.
    

    
    

    The new release should solve this. Thanks for the feedback!

    Sorry... Another error posted in the forum with the latest version.
    
    It seems that i'm to stupid to correct a bug-sheme the first time. I released version 1.2.4 correcting that. Btw.: It's enough to post in the forum - I'm checking it regulary.

    Hi Jochen - Please have a look into the FAQ - This is a classical MANY USERS vs. ONE DEVELOPER situation - And i don't have the resources to answer every request just in the minute it arrives (Even if would like to do so). Additionally: Please post your question into the yapb-forum - I won't answer such questions here anymore.

    Hallo!
    I agree with other commenters about a multiple images/thumbs feature. You have managed to make a useful, pretty and seamless integration to WP. Now I have to try to hack it instead of going out to play ;)
    Well done!
    Liebe gruesse,
    Tibbe

    To W. Goulart:
    I had the same problem running images within an exception in WP, like this:
    if ( is_page('gallerypageorsomething')) {
    [code for clickable lightbox thumbnail]
    }
    
    The blank screen instead of error msg is IIS server default settings for the php engine or something. Try clearing all exceptions and see if that helps. If you're not familiar with WP, check out http://codex.wordpress.org/
    
    Good luck,

    I get error:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_enqueue_script() in /hermes/web05/b1439/pow.nvelez/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/yet-another-photoblog/Yapb.class.php on line 527

    
    

    when i try to open site admin…any ideas on how to fix it?

    
    

    Sounds like a wonderful plugin though- thanks
    nv

    
    

    Hi nvele - If you have WordPress 2.0.x installed, please download and install YAPB 1.3.1 - The 1.4.1 version works on Wordpress 2.1.x only.

    Hey, I'm trying out your plugin and it looks really spiffy and I like it so far. I'll admit it's not exactly what I'm looking for, but the integration with the WP admin panel was just irresistible. I have a question, though, is there a way to easily grab the image (URL to the image at least) give the post ID? I need to show posts using get_posts() and the YAPB image doesn't show up there. I'm okay with coding, if it comes to needing to instantiate the Yapb class and everything.

    
    

    Thanks!

    
    

    Hi Angela - <advertisment>YAPB delivers that right out of the box</advertisment> ;-) The YapbImage object offers some methods to get all you need. A look to this and this page could be interesting for you. If you need further assistance - Just post your questions to the forum.
