v1.2.2 has some minor fixes:
First: Some cosmetic changes to make the admin screen look a little better in WP 2.7.
Second: The plugin now recognizes any google domain (e.g. google.dk, google.co.uk), not just google.com. You complain, I listen. Eventually.

Just a suggestion, you sould add a feature to limit how many photos are displayed from the picasa site. Lets say i have an album with 120 photos but for the purposes of my blog i just want to show the first 10 or even the first 2 photos to notify people that i have updated my picasa. That would be a nice feature to add i think. Otherwise this is a great plugin! thanks!
Thanks for the GREAT PLUGIN!
It’s really cool. However there is something I’m trying to do, and I can’t find the way…
I need to display first picture’s (or album cover’s) thumbnail image.
But in the code
preg_match('~<media:thumbnail\s*url=(["\'])(.*)\1\s*height=(["\'])([0-9]*)\3\s*width=(["\'])([0-9]*)\5~Usi', $p, $pm);
$photo['image'] = $pm[2];
$photo['height'] = $pm[4];
$photo['width'] = $pm[6];
you have only width, height and link to big picture. Is there any way to get the thumbnail of the album cover?
Thank you in advance!
Vpromoter.
ZergCow: I’m trying to keep this plugin simple–but you could add that feature with a strategically placed
array_slice().Vpromoter: It’s probably in the xml file that PicasaWeb returns, but it’s been several months since I’ve dug through that–but find in the source where I fetch from picasa, and just
echothe contents out and see what’s there.I just upgraded this wonderful plugin, but the link alone is not working as it did in the past. I had to link to my Picassa album in order for folks to see my images. I did like I’ve done in the past…pit the link to the album on a separate line by iteself.
But, alas, no joy in Mudville :(
Thanks for the great plugin….
Hello, and thanks for a great plugin, that’s easy to customize as well ;)
Here’s a tip, please tell me if I got this right (it works, but I question my PHP skills :P )
For those of you who want their thumbs cropped, i.e. want to change ex. thumbsize=72 to thumbsize=72c, here’s the code:
ca Line 173
$url .= '?thumbsize='.KB_INLINEPICASA_MAXSIZE;Change into
$url .= '?thumbsize='.KB_INLINEPICASA_MAXSIZE . 'c';Are there any demo’s online? I only found a old one :D
to show only 2 images add in
kb-inline-picasaweb-functions.php
nearline 11
if(count($content) > 2) {
$content = array_slice($content,0,2);
}
;)
Great plugin. A couple of questions.
I was able to embed the album in a blog post but not a static page. Is this supported
Is there any way to embed individual images rather than entire albums?
Thanks
Enabling this plugin breaks CSS validation. As soon as I disable it, the CSS validates without error. I’m using plugin version 1.2.2, Wordpress version 2.7.1.
I also wanted to display just one photo from my album. Thanks for the comment about array_slice(). I put it in the display function:
$content = array_slice($content, 0, 1);// loop through photos
foreach ($content as $photo){
Is this the best place? I tried to put it in the fetch function, slicing $album at the very end right before it is returned, but it didn’t work for me. My goal with that was to only get one photo instead of getting all of them and then only displaying one. I’m assuming the $album array is structured differently than the $contents array…and I’m a bit lazy today to read into it!
Anyways, great plugin, very simple, much appreciated!
LOVE THIS PLUGIN, thank you!! You were at BYU? I’m an alum.
I commented on the wp plugins page, but i’ll add it here too:
Especially in two-column mode, you probably want to vertical align all of the photos so the top edges line up horizontally across the page.
To do it, on line 123 of kb-inline-picasaweb-functions.php, change
$out .= ”;
to
$out .= ”;
and it will align each row.
Done!
Question: Can we make this display in more than two columns? This is great for maintaining headshots of volunteers for an organization, but it’d be nice to display more horizontally.
Can this plugin be used at the same time as the “picasna” plugin? Picasna is another picasa gallery plugin that also requires that you link to the picasa web album (on a single line of its own). Since they both work the same way, can they then be installed at the same time?
Hello,
First, great plugin. Second, I notice you can only link to the album directory, for example “http://picasaweb.google.com/username/Album”, but I’d like to bring in Unlisted Picasa albums, which look something like this “http://picasaweb.google.com/username/Album?authkey=Gv1sRgCIjT0c_Kto3rgKE”. I would like to be able to import unlisted items, as long as the URL contains the proper authkey.
The plugin looks nice but I’m missing a sidebar widget. I’m using a Picasa sidebar from a different wordpress plugin but I don’t think it shuffle’s correct. I would also like to have the feature to show the text that has been entered at Picasa to be seen when you put your mouse pointer on a picture.
Why don’t you demo your plugin on your site.?? OR atleast make it easily available.
I just uploaded v1.3 of the plugin that incorporates several of the suggestions listed above (e.g. private albums, showing only the first few photos, etc).
Sheel: I can’t imagine any way of making it more easily available than it already is. It’s in the WordPress plugin repository.
Closing this thread. New comments should go on the v1.3 thread.
