Web Photos Pro Server Edition v1.0.0 is ready for download.
I’m very excited about this release because it gives us a good base from which to move forward. Language support has been added, and both Dutch and German translations are available (if you’re interested in providing another language, please let me know!). And there are a number of small bug fixes that have been on my todo list forever.
But the big change is a brand new Wordpress plug-in that works with both Web Photos Pro Server Edition and non-Server Edition installations. Personally I’m looking forward to getting rid of all those crufty <img> tags that are spread all over this Web Photos Pro website, as well as my A Year In Cornwall blog, replacing them with nice, neat, <wpp_image> tags. And if you haven’t noticed, I’ve upgraded the Show Urls button at the bottom of each album web page so all you have to do is copy and paste the <wpp_image> tags right into your blog entry!
We’re moving back to the San Francisco for the summer, so I’ll be offline for a couple of days next week. In the meantime, please let me know if you install this latest version and how you like it.
With kindest regards,

I’ve been working on a new server version, and as part of the release I’ve built a Wordpress plug-in that makes it easy to integrate thumbnails and images from your Web Photos Pro photo albums into your Wordpress blog.
I had originally thought to build two plug-ins, one for those who publish static albums, and one for those who publish dynamic albums using Web Photo Pro Server Edition, but after coding both plug-ins I realized it would be simpler to release a single plug-in that worked for both cases.
Once you’ve installed the plug-in, inserting a thumbnail into a blog entry is as easy as adding a <wpp_image> tag. For example:
<wpp_image:/examples/skins/style_1/:My First Album:IMG_5757.JPG:110>
will insert this thumbnail:

and
<wpp_image:/examples/skins/style_1/:My First Album:IMG_4810.JPG:110>
Title: <:wpp_data:photo:title>
Description: <wpp_data:photo:description>
will insert a different thumbnail, along with its title and description:

Title: Intense
Description: Rosie wondering how best to get the tennis ball without getting wet.
