As a quick fix to the problem I have included the following if clause in my search.php template file:

if ( $post-->post_status == 'publish' ){ ... }

Its not the best way to fix things, but it works for now and until I get back home next week its the best I can do. I hope this helps other people with similar problem until the plugin developer fixes things.

In the mean time if you need any help with my plugins feel free to fire me an email.

[Update]

The next update for zenphotos 2.2 will be released as soon as I am able to spend some time on it for the time being I am implementing the following new features as required by my new theme (to launch soon) and requested by you guys:

• Plug-in Panel so you can set the default settings within your dashboard rather than edit the plugin file yourself.
• Adding the option to create custom output formatting, which will make it easier to design around.
• Adding the option to select the latest pictures from just one album within your gallery rather that from the whole gallery.
• Adding the option to show a user defined selection of random images from either one album or the whole gallery.

This being my final degree year I have a lot of  work to get finished and not a lot of time to get it all done in, due to this I can’t say for sure when the new plugin will be released as I am having to work on it when I get literally a spare few minutes.

As far as work goes I am happily plodding on with university projects. I have my final project to get done which is the front end of an online shop it has proven to be the biggest design job I have ever undertaken and as it is a major part of my degree I am excited that the amount of work I have done for it will be rewarded with a high grade. You wouldn’t believe the amount of paper work I have done for this thing! Other than that I have two papers to write, on on the status of television and another on how we have become a culture of fear dominated by a government manipulating that fear to its own ends for “our own good”. It is an issue I have a great deal of knowledge in and if you can talk for hours about a subject then writing an essay on it is going to be second nature.

Anyways I thought I owed people a little update on happenings, bbs.

In the past few days with the very limited spare time I have had I have been able to write two plugins for wordpress, one publicly available and the other being a similar system to PictureXS. The first plugin I wrote was Zenphotos of which more information can be gleamed here. Zenphotos is a pretty basic wordpress plugin for including the latest images uploaded to your Zenphoto gallery in the form of thumbnails. The plugin can be seen to be in action at the bottom of this page. My second plugin has just been called Photogabble->Images, because that is pretty much all it is. It’s a basic emulation of PictureXS while I experimented with methods the PLW used to present image data to the user, I shan’t be making that plugin publicly available as I can’t see there being any need for it, however I may write a similar plugin which instead of listing user submitted images, shall show images in wp-content/uploads. Not sure how much of a requirement there is for this, but it might be interesting to code, we shall see.
