Well, you if you haven’t been frequenting the ModStomp galleries you probably won’t notice the minor changes made today. For those of you who do though (hehe… as if), I’ve fixed a few minor issues I’ve been having with the Falbum plugin. Overall, Falbum is an awesome plugin that creates a sweet gallery page for all your flickr photos, but as with all things wordpress, it has to be customized a bit for each theme.
The first issue I was having was that the WordPress sidebar would break once you clicked into an album. For any out there that care, this was being caused by the fact that the album pages didn’t have a page ID so WordPress didn’t see them as static pages. There’s a fix on the Falbum wiki pages so it wasn’t a huge deal to correct, but it took a while to figure out what the issue was and then to find the fix.
The second issue I was having was again only showing up once I dove into an album. The issue was that WordPress was pulling the title of the top blog post on the home page as the title tag for the album/photo page. This one took the better part of a day to figure out, but was actually related to the sidebar fix I had implemented earlier (aarrrrggghhh!).
I realize that this post is pretty boring for most people, but it’s really intended for those few people who happen to be having the same issues and have spent the better part of their day looking for fixes =). Also, we haven’t really gotten the ModStomp forums off the ground yet, but I’m planning to start a WordPress tweaks string so if you have some experience or are looking for some help, swing on by and hopefully we can find a fix for you.
