Hi, I've recently installed Piwigo on my domain and think it's excellent, however I would find it useful to have a blog or mini-blog included on the front page - is this possible or does it require far too much work? Forgive me, I am not technical at all.
Many Thanks
Elise
Hi,
It's possible with [extension by plg] PWG Stuffs
Add "personnal bloc"
Combine with [extension by Piwigo Team] Extended Description & [extension by P@t] FCK Editor

I think having a basic blogging feature for Piwigo (as a plugin) would be nice, but we won't go as far as WordPress, of course!
What I have in mind is a specific PWG Stuffs module (this way you can decide where to show it on your page) that display a list og "blog posts".
A blog post is an album, but displayed in a specific way. To tell the truth, I've looked how it was displayed on http://ma.tt/gallery and I find it very smart. In Piwigo I imagine a button in the album administration screen "blog this" (if you have the "blog" plugin). This would automatically create a blog post with a the album title, a "websize" photo and 2 or 4 thumbnails from the album, the album description and a few informations like "14 photos" or "taken on March 23rd, 2011".
You would be able to define how many blog posts to display on a page.
I think other type of blog post would be useful, such as "blog this" on a specific photo, or simply a "free content" post.
I will try to work on it in the next months (or sooner if someone wants to work on it, I will help)

It's one of my project, if I've the time... again...
I remember your idea of a "blog this" button, it's a very good feature

Hi,
I'm new to Piwigo, and I think I will set up my photo collection soon.
Since I'm interested in a neat and simple blogging features, I would like to know when the related plugin is supposed to be available.

I think it's much better to have an other script for blogging like Wordpress used with http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/piwigomedia/
That's what I do on my website : publishing an article with some photo to illustrate and linked to the gallery, and tell there is many more photos in the gallery with a link (http://www.planete-flop.fr/blog/2011/05 … asiatique/)
