Thanks so much for this post! I was able to copy the new image.php and hack away until it suited me fine — only took about 20 minutes to incorporate into the theme I’ve adapted, with a few changes (and also I’ve added a link back to the original post under the nav images).

It’s only a very new site and has lots to be developed (only started work on this last night), but it’s at africanimpact.com.au if you see the blog item for Cape Town under “project updates”, you can see how I’ve administered it.

Still 1 thing I am having trouble changing which I hope they fix: on the post sub-page, I cannot turn off comments (without hacking the image.php like I have to remove the comment facility altogether) — it should refer to the comment setting for the actual (parent) post, but it doesn’t seem to.

Anyway, your article helped me getting it working, albeit with a fair bit of work to the default image.php. Thanks so much!

Sean – I’m not sure what to tell you except to copy from the image.php that comes with the Default theme. You might be able to cull some more information from this thread on the forums, too: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164216

Art – it feels not ready for prime time to me. I like the ease of uploading images, but if a newbie can’t use the gallery part of it out of the box, then it seems a bit unfair to flaunt it as one of the big new features.

If you don’t have image.php, the gallery falls back to single.php. Without single.php, the gallery uses index.php. The function tags are sane.

I’m ambivalent about the gallery, though. The controls for it are fantastic, but the presentation is not so much. I need the time to write a plugin to make what I want of it; template hacking only goes so far.

Is there some special magic needed to get wp_get_attachment_image() to work? Because I cannot get it to fire to save my life!
