Multiverse

A responsive theme for Zenphoto

This theme was initially developed for use on my own website, as a single album theme, just for some special presentations. Later I've added support for a complete gallery and for Zenpage extension too, so it can now also be used as the main theme of a Zenphoto gallery or a Zenphoto/Zenpage CMS*. It has been adapted for Zenphoto and extended to a multi-page theme from HTML5 UP’s Multiverse, a single-page web gallery, with some new JavaScript functionality as well:

• Touch swipe on the popup for navigation between images
• Preload of two images (prev & next)
• Zoom on double tap (or double click) and pan image
• Slide show
• Full screen button
• Some Zenphoto layout remodeling
• Zenphoto ajax contact form

Following the original nature of Multiverse layout, I have not included a real single image page. The image.php file is actually just a redirect script that acts to open the image popup in its album page.

A regular image.php page has been added since v2.0.

*Currently, only image objects are supported in albums, so Multiverse is not yet suitable for a full multimedia gallery. I may add support for medias other than images sooner or later, but I can't really say if and when. However, videos and other medias can of course be embedded in pages and news articles, like every other Zenpage theme allows to do.

Edit: since version 2.2, the support for the other multimedia elements: video, audio and Zenphoto class-textobject was added.

A short video showing some theme features is available here.

Installation

1. Download latest release and extract the content.
2. Find the multiverse folder and use an ftp client to upload exclusively it into themes folder of your ZP installation.
3. Visit Multiverse option page in your admin area.
4. Activate Multiverse to use it as the main theme of your gallery or assign it to any album you wish.

NOTICE: Since option names were changed in version 2.2, if upgrading from a previuos version you must visit the theme options page to allow automatic import of existing settings.

Translations

Multiverse is translatable by configuring a Poedit catalogue with the keywords gettext_th, ngettext_th:1,2. If you wish to provide a translation other than Italian, which is already available, be sure to uncheck the box Also use default keywords for supported languages in your catalogue properties, so that you don’t have to translate strings already managed by Zenphoto translators, but just a few theme defined strings.
