SUPPORT

The number of support requests I am getting for this template is overwhelming. So I will NOT respond to any support requests via email. Please post to the Pixelpost HELP forum. I am constantly answering the same 2 or 3 questions, so if they are on the forum, you can search for them first. Please tag any forum posts with "theworldin35mm" so its easy to search later.

AGAIN, I WILL NOT ANSWER SUPPORT REQUESTS VIA EMAIL. HELP FORUM ONLY. SEARCH FIRST.

• thumbnails use 16x16 pixel loader

*v2.6.4 (still beta)

• Removed leftover javascript code which prevent commenting.

*v2.6.2 (still beta, be sure to update all files, lots and lots of changes)

• really, really fixed it this time :p

*v2.6.1 (still beta, be sure to update all files, lots and lots of changes)

• Fixed bug which made next/prev arrows have javascript error with IE7/8 and Opera.

*v2.6.0 (still beta, be sure to update all files, lots and lots of changes)

• tried to fix any bugs present in 2.5.2
• moved next/prev arrows outside frame. new arrows also (this now allows the image to be right-clicked easily, before you have to view-source to get the URL, it was a pain and didn't add anything)
• upgraded the addon. New options, Google Webmaster verifiy ID, Max image width to set page width easily, added option to specify whether the comments section should be displayed "open" by default (will still remember the users choice with a cookie).
• fixed 2 php4 problems with paged_archive.php
• custom display of comments. displays bubble around each comment to help separate multiple comments for easier reading.

v2.5.2 (its a beta)

• Fixed PHP4 compatibility problems (thanks Matthias)
• Update CSS so that only the .wrapper needs to be changed in order to resize the template
• Fixed comment form error message handling bug
• Fixed image_date_month_full bug (thanks Matthias)
• Updated IE 7/8 CSS/Javascript, should now work with those browsers

v2.5.0 (its a beta and only been tested with firefox 3.5 and safari 4 so far, KNOWN BUG IN IE8 (works in compat mode) for now...)

• Fixed bug where remember user info after comment didn't always remember the users info
• Update CSS to be more like main website
• Update about page layout
• Update browse page layout. Now has previously requested paging at the bottom.
• Cleaner HTML, less divs, removed unnecessary nested divs, spans, and tables
• Updated addon. Smart titles, meta keywords, meta description
• Prefixed all addons tags with 35MM_ instead of SITE_ in case it ever conflicts with core pixelpost
• Updated .htaccess mod_rewrite rules
• Added prefetch tags (currently only firefox supports it)

v2.0.1

• Fixed bugs introduced in v2.0 :-)

v2.0

• Changed javascript to mootools 1.2.3, faster, smoother, smaller download
• Remember info+comments view (closed/expanded) from page to page via cookie
• Updated theworldin35mm addon. All fields, author, email, google analytics, etc can now all be set via the ADDONs panel in the ADMIN interface instead of having to edit the PHP file manually

v1.2

• Changed javascript around to fix bug when image titles have single quotes in them. Note: double quotes in an image title will not work with this template.
• Adjusted CSS to have a single class that determines page width to make it easier to adjust to different image sizes
• Fixed theworldin35mm.php addon to not use my old google analytics site id that I left in there by mistake in v1.1 and v1.0
• Other various minor and small tweaks since v1.1

INSTALLATION

1. Copy addons/theworldin35mm.php to the addons/ directory in your pixelpost installation.
2. Activate theworldin35mm addon in Pixelpost ADMIN page (In the Addons Section)
3. Copy the theworldin35mm folder in your templates directory in the Pixelpost installation.
4. Choose theworldin35mm template in options menu in the Pixelpost ADMIN pages.
5. Create a file called ".htaccess" (without quotes) in the base of your Pixelpost installation.
6. Modify your .htaccess file with rewrite rules shown in the addon page in the pixelpost ADMIN interface.

COMMON PROBLEMS

404 ERRORS on any page but homepage (index.html).

1. You didn't correctly setup mod_rewrite. You need to create a file called '.htaccess' (without quotes) in the root of your pixelpost installation. Make sure the RewriteBase is correct (see above).
2. You have Apache without mod_rewrite module. See your administrator.
3. You have Microsoft IIS without mod_rewrite module.

I CANNOT SAY THIS ENOUGH. YOU NEED PROPER MOD_REWRITE SUPPORT IN YOUR WEBSERVER TO USE THIS THEME WITH THE SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY (MOD_REWRITE) URLS
