You need to seed the install with at least one image file in /photos/ to start. Also create a thumbs/ directory and CHMOD it to 755.

Okay its working and I found a template that I am going to mod to death.

One more question: Can I get it to resize an image when it uploads it? Yes, I know about the tumbnails...but images off my camera are massive, and take up too much space. Does FB3 have this fuction built in or am I going to have to write a fuction to do it?

It would be easy to write a function to do this (and someone could take a crack at an extension), but most servers won't let you resize an image from 3+ megapixels — it reaches the memory or execution-time limit for the server and the request times out.

It's also not very efficient to be uploading a 1mb file to just so the script can give you a 60kb file — I'd recommend you resize the photos in whatever image editing program you have.

Thanks for the info. I should be good to go.

BTW: If you are the developer, I think a nice feature request would be to add a /themes directory. You could upload themes into there, and just put the themes name into the $template_name varible yourself.
EX: $fbdir{$template_name}/{$template_name}_file.php (Or something like that, I don’t know the code enough yet.)

...Almost like wordpress. It would keep your FTP more clean looking if you are going to have multiple themes.

Mikey,

Here's a cheat, get yourself a flickr.com account, upload your massive megabyte files, flickr will auto re-size them into a few usable sizes. Then download one of the smaller versions on your 'puter.

Then upload that flickr'd file into your folderblog photoblog.

Enjoy.
