sattes-faction (i can’t get no)

… you might think – and I really have a few things in the pipeline, but my two (very) litte kids keep me busy all day long (and night). So it might take some time for the next update. Just wanted to let you know picasaview not dead

Some people suddenly were confronted with the problem that all thumbnails in an album detail view are showing up in original size. First I though Google did change something in their API, but it seems it’s a bug they published with their new API version. See this post:

Thanks for pointing this out. It looks like we pushed a bug, and we’re
working to correct the problem.
I’ll update this thread when the change is live. I’m sorry for the
inconvenience that this is causing.

Thank you,
-Mike

So it seems we have to wait until this bug gets fixed – hopefully soon, I’m sorry for that.

This is a more-or-less minor relese. Besides an Arabic translation it’s now possible to view non-albums, but in this version only when viewing an album directly. It will not work when viewing all albums (not yet). Just use the tag like this (the token is generated by picasaweb, so you have to look there):

[picasaView album='ALBUMNAME' authkey='AUTHTOKEN']

It’s just a minor release, fixing a small bug with a template variable, adding some translations (thanks to the guys who contributed) and changing the html into a table less layout.

This release contains only two minor additions. A new placeholder can now be used in the template albumDetails.html to output a simple image counter. And I added a Dutch translation (thanks to Stef Segers).

Today I replaced the discontinued theme “avenue” I used before with “iowa Pro”. It’s a really great theme that’s highly customizable. I only replaced the header image with an self-made one. If you’re interested in this theme you can get it here. Happy New Year by the way

After a long time I finally released version 1.0 of picasaView. The code was completely rewritten to feature more flexibility for future versions. Besides some bugfixes, albums can now be shown directly with the “instantView”-option and nearly all settings of the admin-options page can be overwritten directly in the tag. That means, you can have multiple picasaView-tags on your blog (and even in the same post) with completely different settings in image size, server or user-id (and some more). See the readme.txt for more details.

If you find any bugs or have tips for improvement, please drop me a line!

After a long time without any updates I just wanted to post a little life-sign. I’m still there! The next version is due (needs some testing before – if you’re interested, please contact me) and has some new features like instantView (directly print images of an album in a post) and way more flexibility in integration – this means you will be able to overwrite all default settings on each picasaView-call. So you can view multiple albums of different users with different settings in your blog. So please be patient for a few more days (I’m a little bit lazy I admit…)!

And thank you for all your feedback so far!

Hey folks,

I just wanted to mention that I’m updating picasaView to work with WordPress 2.7 between Christmas and New Years Day. I appreciate all your feedback on this!

Of course *sing-a-long* I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

Since today the recent version 0.6 of the picasaView WordPress plugin is available for download. With picasaView you can easily view your photos from picasaweb directly in your blog. In version 0.6 it’s now possible to enable paging for your album details view, so that not all images are shown at one page. Some more detailed error messages tell you now more exactly what went wrong. Also some more placeholders were added for customization (like a “back to page”-link or image titles). So please give it a try and tell me if you like it or not.
