It’s been some time since I’ve posted on here. The reason is I’ve been busy working on a number of new projects. Which include some new blogs.

I’ll list them on here eventually because I’ve decided to change this website from using Textpattern and move back to WordPress.

Why?

Well I’m much more at home in WordPress. Which I find is an important factor.The “textile” language used in the posts is “something else to learn” and because I’m a fluent HTML’er I find that having something else “parsing” some obscure instructions to recreate the HTML for me is not worth doing.

I’m not bagging textpattern. It has it’s place in the world. But as I’m working more and more in WordPress, it’s smarter to work in the one environment. Plus I’ll soon be writing some WP plugins versions some scripts I’ve been writing.

So fingers crossed on the conversion. If you can read this, I’ve either not completed the conversion OR it went smoothly.

Cheers for now
Tim

I’ve been having a quick read about implementing a photo gallery using textpattern.

It appears that the only way is to do this is to setup a new page for the piccys and post single articles with a picture in each.

This then begs the question, how to we navigate to these pictures.

Galleries have Catagories and Sections.
Navigation would be something like:

# Your Stories
# Display Links for all families
# Have a series of photos for each family

Need to look into how to implement this.
Textpattern as such is a more flat level kind of structure and it may lend to looking at alternatives.

One Suggestion to use is Expression Engine ( a paid CMS System)

It has a lot more scope and the ability to manage a bunch of sites from the one admin.

Plus it has a lot of user restrictions for access control. Interesting!
