Hey there folks.  I've just downloaded and installed these Products into
my Zope instance.  I'd talk to any of the support groups / lists / etc for
these Products, but I can't find anythign aside from the author link, and
a few small hints on the download page.

I -think- I'm setting up an Album properly.  Here are the steps, someone
please tell me if this is not correct (There's an error that happens that
I'll report in a moment...)

1) Install all the packages
2) Import ZPhotoAlbum via the Control panel
3) Go to whatever directory I want to run from
4) Add a ZPhotoAlbum object (we'll call it 'abc' for now)
5) go into 'abc' folder
	(note the only thing in it right now is 'Vocabulary'
6) Add a ZAlbumPage (calling it 'page1')
7) go into 'page1' folder
8) Add a ZPhoto

Okay, here's where it gets fuzzy.  My initial impression is "okay, tha'ts
it.  Just keep adding ZPhotos to populate the album".  But when going to
url.url.com/abc/ I just get the default 'index.html'. 

Tinkering, I found the 'Restore DTML' button up on the toolbar for the
PhotoAlbum.

So I click that, and get a lot more content in the folder in the
management screen.

Now when I go to url.url.com/abc/, I see my index, the AlbumPage, and
the ZPhoto that I added.

Here's where the problem happens.  There are 2 buttons at the bottom of
the page called 'fancy view' and 'explore view'.  They should allow
different views of the indexes.  But when I click on one, I get:

Zope Error

Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.

Error Type: NameError

here's the traceback:

Any suggestions?
