Zoph Organizes Photos

what

Zoph (Zoph Organizes Photos) is a web based digital image presentation and management system. In other words, a photo album. It is built with PHP, MySQL and Perl.

After I bought a digital camera I wanted some way to easily organize a growing number of photos. At the moment I use Zoph to keep track of and share a few thousand of my photos, all cross-referenced.

If you just want to generate a gallery of thumbnails from a bunch of images, you may want to try one of the other numerous photo album projects. But if you want to also store additional information about your photos, search them, or control access to them, take a look at Zoph.

Zoph 0.7.3 released

24 July by Jeroen Roos

Zoph 0.7.3. is an interim "feature" release that offers a preview on a few of the new features that will be available in Zoph v0.8.

It also fixes some bugs from 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 Finally, it includes the bugfixes from 0.7.0.5. This includes the security update.

The most important new feature in this release is the mapping support. You can now show the locations of your photos or places on a map. Thanks to Mapstraction you can easily change between 3 mapping providers: Google Maps, Yahoo Maps and Open Street Maps. It should be easy to add support for the other mapping providers Mapstraction supports later.

Furthermore, you can store timezones in Zoph and make automatic calculations between the different timezones. Simply leave your camera on your home timezone (or UTC) and tell Zoph where you went on holiday, and it will automatically compute the right time for you.

Finally, a record amount of bugs have been fixed in this release. See the changelog for details.

0.7.3 is still an unstable release. Download 0.7.0.5 if you're not comfortable with running an unstable release. If you are currently running 0.7.1, 0.7.2 or 0.7.2.1, I recommend upgrading to 0.7.3, because of the security update.

Zoph 0.7.0.5 released

20 July by Jeroen Roos

During development of Zoph, I found a couple of possible SQL injections. Although most are not exploitable or only exploitable by an admin user, I have created an updated release for Zoph: v0.7.0.5. I recommend evereyone upgrading to this version. The release also includes a number of extra 'safety nets' that will make exploiting any future SQL injections a lot harder. It also fixes a number of bugs in the 0.7 release.

An updated version of the 'unstable' branch will be available later this week.

Zoph 0.7.2.1 released

3 June 2008 by Jeroen Roos

I have created a bugfix release for Zoph 0.7.2: I found out that the 0.7.2 release that was released earlier this week did not include the latest version of some files. I also fixed 2 other bugs. For a full overview of the changes, see the changelog.

0.7.2.1 is still an unstable release. Download 0.7.0.4 if you're not comfortable with running an unstable release.

Zoph 0.7.2

1 June 2008 by Jeroen Roos
smileys and markup in comments the new admin page

Zoph 0.7.2. is an interim "feature" release that offers a preview on a few of the new features that will be available in Zoph v0.8.

The most important new feature in this release is the 'Zoph Pages' feature, that allows you to create your own pages as frontpage for an album, category, place or person.

Also, you can now add smileys and (limited) markup to comments.

The "users" link in the main menu has changed into "admin" and the newly created admin page gives access to the user-administration and the new pages feature, through an icon-based menu.

Francisco Javier Félix provided a patch that allows you to set the default language to something else than English, a patch that makes it possible to translate the login page and a patch that improves the usability of the list of people, by adding some colour to that page. He also updated the Spanish translation.

Finally, this release fixes all the known bugs in 0.7.1 and also includes all the fixes from 0.7.0.3 and 0.7.0.4.

Although this release was tested as well as possible, it is not a "stable" release and you should continue using the latest stable (0.7.0.4) if you are not comfortable using an unstable version.

Translations updated & call for translations

26 May 2008 by Jeroen Roos

I have updated the table with the current state of translations (see below). Some languages have not been maintained for a long time. Why not check out the table and see if you can be of help? Also, if Zoph has not yet been translated in your language and you're willing to spend a little time, please contact me!

Zoph 0.7.0.4 released

26 May 2008 by Jeroen Roos

I have created a bugfix release for Zoph 0.7: version 0.7.0.4 which fixes a few small bugs, mainly layout-issues, but also an issue with the sql file that caused installations on some systems to fail. For a full overview of the changes, see the changelog.

Zoph 0.7.0.3 released

15 March 2008 by Jeroen Roos

I have created a bugfix release for Zoph 0.7: version 0.7.0.3 which fixes a few small bugs.

Zoph 0.7.1 released

23 October 2007 by Jeroen Roos

Zoph 0.7.1. is an interim "feature" release that offers a preview on a few of the new features that will be available in Zoph v0.8.

Most notable changes are more configurable options to watermarks (position and amount of transparency), possibility to download a set of photos in a ZIP file and some improvement to the thumbnails for albums, categories and places.

Although this release was tested as well as possible, it is not a "stable" release and your should continue using the latest stable (0.7.0.2) if you are not comfortable using an unstable version.

Zoph 0.7.0.2 released

25 July 2007 by Jeroen Roos

I have created a bugfix release for Zoph 0.7: version 0.7.0.2 that fixes a few bugs. None of them are really serious. The most important change is an update to the installation SQL script, a fix that was created by Raimund Hook. This version also includes an up to date Italian translation, thanks to Francesco Ciattaglia.

Zoph 0.7.0.1 released

14 July 2007 by Jeroen Roos

During development I found a possibility for SQL injection. As far as I could determine it cannot be used to gain privileges, modify or retrieve data; however, just to be sure, I recommend everyone to upgrade to the fixed version. You can download the new version here, or you can download a patch. If you are running an older version of Zoph, it should not be hard to adapt this patch for your version.

Zoph 0.7 released

1 July 2007 by Jeroen Roos

After two pre-releases, here it is, Zoph v0.7.

Compared to the last pre-release, a couple of small, but sometimes annoying bugs have been solved, most in the autocomplete keyboard handling and some issues with using the "autothumbnail" feature when not logged in as an admin user.

Compared to v0.6 lots of bugs have been solved and a couple of new features have been added, Most notable new features are a Javascript based autocompletion function on the selectorboxes for albums, categories, places and people; new views for albums, categories, places and people - including a thumbnail view, giving you a preview of what's in that folder.

For full overview of changes, see the changelog.

Many thanks to Antoine Delvaux, Francesco Ciattaglia, Håvard Lund, Jesper Skytter and Mufit Eribol for translating Zoph in their languages.
