Photos-For-You.com update (34 of 1373 or so.)

Thanks to the totally marvelous 'Post Sorting Reloaded' plugin and a little bit of help from the author :-

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-post-sorting-reloaded-great-plugin-but-problem-with-widget-in-wp-31?replies=8

I now have randomly sorted images (posts) appearing on the home page, and posts sorted alphabetically when using the 'Cat + Tag Filter' option from the right hand side of the screen.

The only thing that still needs sorting out now with regards to how posts are sorted is when you use the 'Search' function at the top right of the screen (I fear this may take some time)...

(I also managed to hack the 'Super Search' plugin so that it defaults to the 'Colour Photos' category rather than 'select category' (thinking that most people will want colour photos even if they don't say so explicitly)).

Total time taken = approx 3 hours (These hours are all starting to add up now...)

Photos-For-You.com update (33 of 1373 or so.)

Courtesy of Corel PSP, YAPB and YAPB bulk uploader for Wordpress, I now have 1798 Purple Images uploaded. The upload took about 3.5 hours - but the actual amount of time I had to put into it (other than waiting for the upload to complete was about 15 minutes!)

Photos-For-You.com update (30 of 1373 or so.)

Now that I am uploading new photos in some sort of coherent order, the 'Related Posts' plugin is making a lot more sense than it did before.

e.g. on the following post:-

Mushroom

It is suggesting similar photos that were most recently uploaded.

The only problem with a lot of the photos that I have tagged after uploading is that, quite often 'blank and white film' photos are all that is shown in 'related photos', as they just happened to be uploaded more recently than the colour photos.

I'm not sure the best way to get round this, apart from possibly changing it so that it only shows colour photos as default. Must think about it for a while...

Probably the best thing to do is show related photos from the category the current post is in e.g. if the current post is in the 'Colour Photos' category - then show related photos from the 'Colour Photos' category etc. (Must shuffle off now to read up a bit more on how to do this type of thing on Wordpress)...

Update - rather than doing a new post - after much consulting of Wordpress and php reference materials online - here is what I have hacked together into my single.php file in order to show related photos depending on which category the current photo is in (I'm sure there is a more efficient way to do it - but it seems to work so far):-

<div style="margin-top:-10px">
<?php
//for use in the loop, list 12 post titles related to first tag on current post

$category = get_the_category();
$firstcategory = $category[0]->cat_ID;

//if first category in array is photos then take next one, needed for Sepia photos for example
if ($firstcategory==3){
$firstcategory=$category[1]->cat_ID;
}

$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

if ($tags) {
echo '<strong>Related Photos</strong><div style="clear:both;">';
$first_tag = $tags[0]->term_id;
$args=array(
'cat' => $firstcategory,
    'tag__in' => array($first_tag),
    'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
    'showposts'=>12,
    'caller_get_posts'=>1
   );
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);

if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
    while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
      <div style="float:left;width:130px;height:132px;border:1px solid #d8d8d8;margin:0 3px 5px 0;padding:3px;font-size:11px;line-height:13px;"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php

//the_title();

    echo yapb_get_thumbnail(
      '<div>', // HTML before image tag
      array(
        'alt' => 'Photo thumbnail', // image tag alt attribute
        'rel' => 'lightbox'                      // image tag rel attribute
      ),
      '</div>',               // HTML after image tag
      array('w=130', 'h=130', 'q=90'), // phpThumb configuration parameters
      'thumbnail'             // image tag custom css class
    );
?>
</a></div>
      <?php
    endwhile;
}

}
?>
</div>
<div style="clear:both;">

And my related posts section now looks like this (much improved):-
