Hello!
And thanks for all the support, I'm upgrading my photoblog from a SlideshowPro (Flash+XML) to Pixelpost, some guys gave me some help to start, I took some ideas from the forums to continue, but now I'm stuck and I can't understand some things.
FYI: I don't know anything about CSS, but I do know a little bit from HTML, so with a little bit of imagination, thinking and trial and error I'm getting the things done with my photoblog.

These are my problems and I need your help:

1) I want the frontpage with a random photo everytime I refresh that page.

2) I'm using the Delicious template and I want to disable the thumbnails, not the small ones aside the photo, the "big" thumbnails that appear when I do a mouseover.

3) Some photos are vertical and I can't center them, they are all on the left side border.
EX: http://www.canelson.com.ar/pixelpost/index.php?showimage=264

4) All my photos are named NYC-01 ,NYC-02, etc. and they show reversed in the browse page. I imported everything with the CopyFolder addon. Is there any way to sort them by their original filename?

5) Is there any way to show the photos in random order in the Browse Page?

THANKS!!!!

Hi there

1) http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5714&highlight=index2.php

2) please contact the author of the delicious template.

3) see 2.

4) To prevent errors with duplicate file name we add a time stamp to the images. Besides that, images are not displayed based on their file name but based on the upload sequence. Pixelpost is a photoblog designed to show the latest upload the first. So NYC-01 is probably the latest photo since it was uploaded the first. In the upcoming 1.7 version we added an option to reverse the viewing order.

5) Again, this is the way Pixelpost works. You can write an addon which can do this if you know any PHP.

Based on your previous setting at http://www.canelson.com.ar/photos/ I'm suspecting you're looking more for something like Gallery, which is a photoalbum.

Pixelpost was not designed as being gallery software, but as a way to showcase some of your best shots. We don't support albums like Gallery does.
