Piwigo.com clients have already received this message. Many users told us they were happy to receive such details about our technical operations so but let’s make it more “public” with a blog post!
Piwigo.com Enterprise plans, now official!
In the shadow of the standard plan for several years and yet already adopted by more than 50 organizations, it is time to officially introduce the Piwigo.com Enterprise plans. They were designed for organizations, private or public, looking for a simple, affordable and yet complete tool to manage their collection of photos. Read More
HTTPS is live on Piwigo.com
Some of you were waiting for it, others don’t know yet what it’s all about!
HTTPS is the way to encrypt communications between your web browser and the website you visit. Your Piwigo for instance. It is mainly useful for the log in form and administration pages. Your password is no longer sent in “plain text” through internet nodes, like your internet provider or Piwigo.com servers. Read More
Referral program, reloaded
Spending money on expensive advertising campaigns to recruit new customers, for Piwigo.com, is an unpredictable return on investment. Because Piwigo.com relies on the satisfaction of its existing customer base, as being the most important selling point, it has been decided to spend our advertising budget on rewarding our existing customer base for introducing new customers in the shape of their friends and colleagues.

Planned system upgrade, read-only mode (completed)
On Friday January 9th 2012, 4AM UTC, we plan an important system upgrade on a few Piwigo.com servers.
No downtime to expect, but during approximately 1h your Piwigo will switch to read-only mode: you won’t be able to upload photos or open the administration panel.

Full screen slideshow
Until recently, full screen slideshow in Piwigo implied the use of Flash with plugin Cooliris. The new plugin Fotorama brings full screen without Flash and with a much better image quality.
Full screen slideshow with plugin Fotorama (here a 1440 pixels wide screen, with navigation square thumbnails)
Plugin Fotorama simply replaces the default slideshow (no specific icon) and offers many options, such as the transition (crossfade, dissolve…) or the navigation style (dots, thumbnails or nothing).
For a high image quality, Fotorama automatically displays the biggest possible photo size, depending on your screen size.
