zenFB Suite Release [news]
zenFB Suite
The zenFB suite is a host of social plug-ins based on the Facebook SDK and used for integrating your Zenphoto-based site socially with Facebook. Simple things such as adding a like button, to comment box, recent activity, site recommendations, and more.
Please keep in mind that while the Facebook SDK is stable, it is still in development, so some plug-ins may not be available for use with your Zenphoto gallery.
As there are many plug-ins, with many options, having the suite as a one-4-all plug-in would create quite a bit of overhead and many users may not use all plug-ins. So I will be releasing each plug-in separately.
Current Releases
zenFBLike
zenFBLike adds a simple Facebook "Like Button" to your site via template calls. Place the like button anywhere you'd like, image, albums, pages, news, footer. Has a light and dark theme.

zenFBActivity
zenFBActivity adds a "Recent Activity" box to your site. It can also be a combo box showing recommendations as well. It will populate the box (based on your configured dimensions) with recent activity, and then any space left over will fill with recommendations.

Upcoming Releases
Live Event: Hosting a live event? Want users to chat with each other, share links, comment on the data you're providing? This will be the plug-in for you.
As more plug-ins receive better development, I will continue to try to bring them to Zenphoto.
zenFBLike v0.1 Release! [news]
zenFBLike Plug-in
zenFBLike is the first step to full XFBML integration of Zenphoto. This plug-in is designed to allow easy installation (via template calls) of the Facebook Like button for your social minded gallery viewers. It is accomplished by loading Facebook's Javascript SDK allowing parsing of XFBML for social site integration.

My code brain got activated it seems.... [news]
So... I've been in the process of re-arranging my websites. Splitting some domains and turning some alias domains into active domains. In the process I decided to dust off a few things.
- Updated to Zenphoto 1.3.
- Verified zenTwitter functionality in the new release.
- Cleaned up zenTwitter code and added a minor config change.
- Created zenFBLike plug-in.
So, the new releases for zenTwitter and zenFBLike will follow in a sec. Enjoy!
Excuse the dust.... [news]
Excuse the dust while I do some work on the site... I've been very fickle lately and moved my gallery around a few times only to return to the Zenphoto platform. Out of all the gallery options available, it's the one I like best. I will work on cleaning up the gallery in my spare time, when I have some!
Thanks for stopping by!
