Rich,

Someone else is also trying to integrate Qdig into WordPress. I recently added something to the script to help with that. Here’s the forum thread. Let me know if you have any suggestions for making Qdig WordPress-comaptible.

Rich, I managed to get this working, there’s some issue with the qdig base file I was using. I still have no idea where the glitch was, maybe it was in one of the half dozen qdig/index.php files I was using at any given time. Thanks for your help and for the great MT example.

Thanks Rich. That’s exactly what I’ve been doing, however I am still missing something that makes this work correctly. I’ll keep digging.

jharr, by “include” I mean, use the php function include(). For example, the php code for this page has a line in it like this:

Make sense?

So do you reference the original qdig.php file in the include or do you paste the qdig contents into tat page? I haven’t seen any decent documentation on how this is done.

Do I need to somehow modfiy the base qdig file to make this work or should I just be able to reference it as an include?

I’ve built several robust apps in PHP, yet this little script has given me quite a bit of heartburn. It’s the best, most simple photo gallery php script I’ve seen, I just wish I could get it to integrate well with my site.

jharr, when you include qdig.php into your “wrapper” php page, all you’re doing is adding that qdig functionality within the page you want it to fit into. In my case, the page I wanted to fit qdig into is this php page (embedded_movable_type_photo_gallery.php).

When you click on the images, the hyperlinks should be pointing back to the original “wrapper” page.

Does this make sense? It’s a little tough to explain.

Maybe I’m missing something, I’m able to include the initial page. Just using @ include ‘path/qdig.php’; but when I click to view the next image I get the plain qdig.php not embedded.

What am I doing wrong here?

Love the scrollbar idea for qdig. I borrowed your css and threw it in my index.php for qdig. It seemed to have worked, but now it still wraps some thumbnails, so they don’t all stay up in the scrollbar area. Any ideas as to what I should do to fix it? If you want to see what I’m talking about, my qdig gallery is at http://www.rapidnet.com/~zarxic/blog/pics

Thanks again, great site.

You can add the MT tags in the MT templates. Read this for a tutorial on templates:

Love the use of QDig - can’t get it working on my site, am a newbie to MT, and basically learning everything as I go - where do I define the MT tags? Does this go in the index.php template? Does it matter where?
