In pretty much the same theme as the last post I upgraded to Gallery 2.0.2 this evening.

Version 2.x is a major rewrite from pretty much the ground up so it’s been a learing curve getting used to how things work in the new version, least of all hacking my own wishes into the code. I’ve not had to actually touch any of the code for these tweaks, I’ve been able to do it through the themes. A good sign of things to come I hope.

The one thing I can’t get to work is the “Currently listening to”, in other parts of the site this is done through a script which I include in the footer page. The footer page is then included in the other pages as needed. This hasn’t been possible now that Gallery is using Smarty to run the themes.

By the way, I include the script in to footer as the script sometimes pauses while it gets the details from another web site. Putting it in the header as I used to do causes the whole page to pause and sometimes time out. In the footer 90% (the important 90%) of the page loads before it stops, and then I just use a

to position it at the top of the page.

Given that it’s new and so very different I’m running Gallery and Gallery2 along side each other for a few weeks. Not expecting to be uploading many pictures so it shouldn’t be a problem having to upload twice for a short period.
