Next in queue is an image gallery. I ported an image gallery I wrote last year to wordpress already but want to add some extra features. It’s very easy to use, just install the files, add a shorttag to a page and it is ready to go.
You can create different albums and you can choose if the big images should open inline, below the clickable thumbnails, or in a popup window. The feature I want to add is to seperate certain albums from the main gallery page to display them in post or pages. Every album has an id, just insert the id with a shorttag in your post and you could have a little gallery with 3 images that open in a popup window for example.
Those albums can be exluded from the main gallery.
 

Now that I have digital camera I realized I can’t upload videos with my own plugin! :)
The videos are in avi format which the videopop plugin doesn’t support right now. I can’t remember why, it certainly needs to get fixed.
There are a few bugs to fix, one of them is a “needed but forgotten code bug”, and I want to improve server requirement checking.
I hope this will help people to get a better idea why videopop isn’t running correctly on their server.
 

Then there is this online Berlin Music Magazine Dorfdisco I am voluntary involved with. Masterchief Oliver is pressing me since one year to go cms, I just didn’t have the time.
I looked into typo3 and textpattern and the old mambo but couldn’t decide and really minded the effort to dive into another software. So I decided: wordpress! I don’t know if it’s the right decision, time will tell. The layout of the magazine is pretty basic, so no problem there. Things like classifieds, forums, ad engine are probably easier with typo3 & co. Important is to go dynamic, once the articles are in a database it’s no problem to move to another system. Right now it’s good old handcraft.
What I did already is a newspaper style frontpage with wordpress, quite similiar to the current dorfdisco frontpage. The catergory listing is on the left, the centers features differents blocks, each of them is one catergory with the recent 5 articles. Dorfdisco is developed on top of WP 1.5 but I think I just start using the current 1.6 verison.
