- Description
Photoblogger is a responsive skin based on Zurb foundation 6. It has numerous social integration options, image slider, map, shopping cart, feedback, search and tag cloud box. There are two different layout and features sets are available: one for the higher level folders, called "Blog style layout" with all the social boxes, and a simpler for the deeper folders. You can control the depth for which the blog layout is applied.
Please note, in LOCAL PREVIEW some browsers (Chrome, IE) WILL FAIL, because they block local (JSON) database access due to security reasons. Test either in FireFox or jAlbum's built-in browser, or launch Chrome with the "--disable-web-security" command line option. Learn more in the Forum sticky.
