Run, photoblog, run!

Joe says…
I’m obsessed with getting a photoblog to work on this site. I really like the look of Stop Design’s Photo Gallery Templates. I’ve got it up and running over here but I can’t post to the blog. There is some sort of template module issue that I believe has to do with the recent update to v3.2 of Movabletype. I’ve posted my errors and attempts to fix them on the author’s site but he’s busy having a fuckin’ life and hasn’t answered me yet. Do you have any idea how batty I go when I can’t get something to work? I won’t sleep properly tonight. I’ll be short fused with everyone I come into contact with. If I light up the local fast food joint with an AK-47 it’s not my fault.

It’ll be killer when it’s done, though. At work we’re about to start a CMS project for one of our clients (to be hosted at InMotion, of course) and we’ll be looking into things like that photo gallery. Not sure which way we’re going. InMotion has a ton of stuff pre-installed, so we’ll try all those solutions first. Joe and I will have to keep a running tally of our results here…

Okay, I took a stab at using Coppermine, the gallery script available at InMotion. I couldn’t get it to accept any image uploads, so I deleted it and I’ll try again tomorrow night.
Joe quips…
I’ve tried all of the InMotion solutions and didn’t care for any of them. Your mileage may vary.
Update…
I’ve got it working. I blew out my MT installation, including the MySQL DB, deleted all the StopDesign files and directories, and then re-installed everything to the letter from the Mac binaries. The first installation was done on my PC using the windows .zip files (I use the PC because it’s hooked up to the big monitor) and has more processing power and RAM than my 15″ Powerbook. I hope to get a new iMac or G5 soon. Anyway, the gallery is up and at ‘em and I managed to figure out how to tweak the templates, CSS, and title images from the original .psd files Doug included with the download. I’m going to post a tutorial for customizing the .psd images for my own reference that anyone who decides to use these templates is obviously welcome to refer to.
