Misc comments

This is my first Wordpress plugin I have written from scratch and what a learning curve it has been. Being the first release, I’m pretty sure something won’t work as planned. Please let me know of any problems you find. I’ll add more details to this page after my fingers have recuperated a bit from all this typing.

  2. SkyHi Says:

    Brilliant plugin, and I’ve tried quite a few. Only drawback: It can only take images from public albums. My feature request for 1.1 would be to be able to publish images from private albums as well, for private blogs.
    Of course, I can make one public album (since the images will be on a public weblog as well…)

  3. Patrik Says:

    Great plugin! I also have feature request for 1.1. The posibility to insert one image without classes or other styling. Just one pure image :)

    Keep up the good work!

    Brilliant! I would love to be able to include the videos on my picasa album too.

  6. Martin Says:

    Great plugin! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while.

    I was wondering if there was any way to add a couple more thumb/image sizes — I want to use 120px (1:1) and 400px (4:3) thumbs on my blog. I’ve tried to add them to the plugin but can’t get it to work for me,

    Love your work though, keep it up…

  7. Scrawl Says:

    Hi all,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Just released version 1.1 which adds the missing image sizes of 288,320 and 400. Note that these are only supported in uncropped formats.

    Thickbox support is now working properly - Thanks Darkmatter for reporting the bug.

    Why wont thickbox work? The images wont open in thickbox…

  13. Psytoy Says:

    Do you have a thickbox plugin installed?

    Picasa Image Express only adds the HTML (class=’thickbox” on an A tag) required to trigger a Thickbox - it doesn’t include the actual Thickbox code as part of the plugin.

    Here is a Thickbox plugin which I can confirm does work:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/thickbox/

  14. Jacob von Eyben Says:

    This plugin really looks promising!! But what I am searching for is a plugin capable of showing images from unlisted albums - as long as username and password is provided of course.

    I stumbled upon a php api wrapping the picasa api. Mayby you could use it to implement support for unlisted albums?
    http://cameronhinkle.com/blog/id/3696159074811309536

  15. Anniken Says:

    Yes, I had the thickbox installed… but I’ll try again with the one you linked to here. I guess you’ll hear more from me if it wont work ;)

  16. Anniken Says:

    Nope, it wont work.

    http://skogshund.norblogg.net/?page_id=146 <– those thumbnails, made my picasa image express, wont open in thickbox. :(

    I think it has something to do with the adress that the thumbnails are linking to. I don’t think thats “valid” for thickbox.

    Example: http://lh6.ggpht.com/natusan/SQCdvzlG6hI/AAAAAAAAHFY/aInflaRFrKA/IMG_2005-Edit.jpg?imgmax=576

    I don’t think thickbox likes the ?imgmax=576 in the end of the adress.

    Can you help me make it work?

  17. Anniken Says:

    pretty pleeeease

  18. Prasannah Says:

    The PHP API wrapper is interesting - will take a look once my workload is a little quieter. Damn real life - always getting in the way :)

  21. Tim Says:

    Great tool, although I am finding a small issue.

    I prefer fairly large thumbnails, about 500px wide. When I set the thumbnail size in the settings to 512 and insert an image no thumbnail shows up in the post. If I set the thumbnail size when inserting the image, the largest size available in the drop down is 160px.

    What am I missing?

  32. SoWhat Says:

    Hello! Great plugin. Like that it works very quick.
    One thing that I would like to have in future is possibility to insert not just an album, but whole list of albums like in “kPicasa gallery” plugin.

    I installed Adobe Flex, but I can’t import this project which is in the ZIP file. Can somebody please write short description how to compile this source to SWF ?
    I want to add Highslide support and it needs to simply add “class=”highslide” onclick=”return hs.expand(this)” ” to every thumb.

  33. AlpeR Says:

    Best Picasa plugin !!

    If doesn’t work in your blog, try add Lightbox2 plugin.

    Thanks a lot!

    Great plugin! Will use it for my study-abroad blog. Thank you! (I hope you get that iPhone)

  37. John Says:

    This is a fantastic plugin — just what I was looking for! But I am unable to select multiple photos in either Safari or Camino on a Mac with Flash 10. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

  38. sloweye Says:

    This plugin was working great with 400px thumbnails- not sure if it was the switch to 2.7, or a change of settings, but I now get the image width/height bug as well, and no thumbnails over 160 px work.

    This is by far the nicest Picasa plugin I’ve found, and it would be worth fixing!

    I second the request for access to private albums. I would like to be able to present images through a wordpress site without making them public on Picasa- presentation is everything!

    Thanks, I am looking forward to using this plugin soon.

  39. John Says:

    Just wanted to say multiple select is now working for me — not sure what the issue was at first. Many thanks again for a great plugin - just the right tool for the job!

  40. sloweye Says:

    I found a workaround for the image width/height bug:
    Selecting and then deselecting the “crop 1:1″ option in the options section of the flash module (the lightbox that pops up from the wordpress editor when you click on the picasa icon) will rest the thumbnail dimensions dropdown, allowing thumbnail sizes greater than 160 px to be selected at this stage of the game.

    Looks like something is getting messed up when the options set in wordpress admin get passed to the flash module, maybe?

    Though it would be great to have this fixed, the plugin works spectacularly otherwise.

  41. Rich Says:

    Wow. This plugin is pretty awesome and just what I need. I’m trying to optimise mu blog by hosting most of it’s images in good old picasa, and this little plug makes adding single images to posts about as easy as I could imagine! Very good stuff.

    I end up deleting a lot of the code it generates, like the class=”" it adds to each image etc, and the max image width restriction attribute I often strip out. Little things like that are a small price to pay for such awesome functionality though!

    I’d love the ability to configure it to just insert an image but no classes, width and height or maxwidth restrictions set though :)

    Anyway, thanks Psytoy!

  53. Buckanon Says:

    Want to say thanks very much for your work on this plugin. I had no luck with the bogdan.ro plugin so I was relieved to see that this was just what I needed.

    Part way through I realized that I’d be really happy if the process was entirely automated, where the php checked Picasaweb and listed all albums in a sidebar. Clicking on the preview image would bring you to a secondary page that listed all the thumbs (and opened via Lightbox). This would be extremely useful as I would just have my photos on a sidebar and never have to make a separate blog post if I added a new album.

    But hey that may pie in the sky. Kudos for what’s already been done!

  55. Álvaro Degives-Más Says:

    Okay - I finally overcame the problem in internationalizing (before being able to localize) your plugin, Scrawl.

    I’ve taken the liberty of slightly modding your plugin, just to accommodate other translations, as well as adding a Spanish translation of it - as with other WordPress plugins, it follows the locale set in the wp-config.php file (if it’s set to es_ES it’ll show up in Spanish; else, the English version.) And given the slight modifications involved, I’ve taken the liberty of bumping the version by a minor point to 1.1.1 and clarifying / documenting the minor change in the readme.txt.

    Feel free to download that slightly hacked plugin over here - and please feel free also to incorporate whatever change in your official release.

  56. Álvaro Degives-Más Says:

    Uh almost… I just realized that the .swf file contains strings that I’d have to localize as well, and then recompile into a different .swf and link to that instead - but that just doesn’t seem like the best way to deal with it.

    So, unless there’s someone out there willing to help out hacking the .swf so that it loads UI strings from an external .xml I’ll have to leave the image viewer / browser part of the plugin as-is… Oh well.

    Hi all,

    Just a quick note to say development on this plugin isn’t dead. I intend to release version 2 sometime this week.

    Notable features include:

    Better integration with Wordpress’s image properties panel (captions, alignment, etc), Highslide support, Additional gallery alignment options, Cleaner HTML with less redundant tags, Multilanguage ready.

    I have also finally fixed the bug relating to thumbnails larger than 400 not inserting properly.

    Truth be told, not much will have changed on the surface of the plugin. Underneath the hood however is a different story. Hell is trying to decipher what on earth TinyMCE does to inserted HTML. You can’t imagine the frustration trying to work out what post-formatting of HTML it does when switching between WYSIWYG and source view. Hence the giant jump to version 2. It makes it all seem worth the effort.

    If you wish to contribute a translation in your language, contact me at scrawl AT psytoy.net.

    Other than that, watch this space :)

  62. Chang Says:

    Thank you so much for greate plugin. The best Wordpress/Picasa integration I have seen. I missed just one feature: HighSlide support. Is it on todo list?

    Hi!

    Great, great work
    I use WP for my family. It is difficult to learn my father how to upload images, when he is used to Picasa. Now it is easy.

    Question: can you add an option that the whole album is inserted as a gallery (Next Gen Gallery)?

  77. Dürrbi Says:

    I also tried out this plugin, but even if I enter the right URL to my Picasa-Account, i get the following error:

    “Unable to laod albums
    Please double check the Picasa user name. Additionally, check your have albums are setup as publicly available”

    In the plugin option i configured http://picasaweb.google.com/Duerrbi
    In a browser i can reach this URL, but in Wordpress Post-Editor.

    Hi buddy,

    Been using your plugin for some time now. Really like it. I do however, have some problems with viewing galleries in IE7+8. For som reason, when one inserts a single image on a page or post, everything works, both in ie6+7+8, Chrome and Firefox. But if you insert multiple images, it doesn’t work in IE! No images are shown, although it works fine, if viewed with chrome or ff!

    Anyway thought you should know. And let me know if you have a solution ;-)

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to share another public test version of Picasa Image Express. Download it from http://psytoy.net/files/wordpress/picasa-images-express-250409.zip

    The CSS should be a bit more robust. Not quite sure how well it works with IE8 and WP 2.8 yet.

    I‘m using IE8 8.0.6001.18702.
    When i changed the code [if lt ie 8] to [if IE 8] in picasa-image-express.php , the CSS for IE8 works, it shows pictures in vertical line not horizontal, but i’ve set it in horizontal. It’s same while using the test version.

    If I don’t hear of any other major issues in the next week, this will officially be released and available via Wordpress’s plugin update.

  99. Alain Says:

    Hi,

    I am testing Picasa and WordPress at the moment and this is a really great plugin.
    But I have one question:
    Who do I have to select a size for the option “large image size”?
    If I select “800″, the parameter “?imgmax=800″ is appended to the link.
    If I delete this parameter within the link, the picture is shown with original size (this is what I prefer, because my images in Picasa are larger than 800px).
    So it is possible to disable the option (e.g. like the parameter “-1″ for margins)?

  100. Alain Says:

    If I insert multiple photos, the words “[pie left]” and “[/pie]” are added in the post. What does this mean? Using beta-version from June, 26th, WordPress 2.7 and Firefox.

  101. Psytoy Says:

    Hi Alain,

    Picasa does allow you to direct link to images of sizes 912, 1024, 1152, 1280, 1440 and 1600 but if you try to embed them into a webpage, it will fail. It’s a limitation put in by Picasa. Might be able to do something for version 2.1.

    [pie] appears when you insert a gallery of images. The tag is only visible during editing. [pie left] will left align the gallery, [pie right] will align it right, etc.

    I included this tag to make it easier to insert text before and after a gallery. It also works as a visual cue when editing a post so you know where a gallery starts and ends.

    Some people might want to insert a bunch of images into a post but not have them formatted using Picasa Image Express’s gallery styles. In this case, all they have to do is delete the [pie] tags.

  103. Danny Says:

    Awesome plugin - thanks. It would be great to have the option to insert a text link (instead of a thumbnail), that expands or connects to the Picasa photo. Sometimes I want to have an all-text page, but have an image appear in a lightbox when the user clicks on a phrase.

  104. Alain Says:

    One more thing.
    After uploading pictures, the plugin sometimes does not show the new pictures. In some cases it shows the correct number, but they are missing in the list.
    It works after clearing the user data (cache, cookies etc.) in Firefox.
    Is it possible to refresh the contents within the plugin?

    Hi:)

    This plug-is really great. Bu I have some problems about it. I have tried version 1 and version 2. In version 1 thumbnails which are shown in IE8 are something weird.If you click on them there is no problem but normally they looks very thin. There is no problem on safari or firefox. My webpage ishttp://www.mumtazdemirci.com/main-square-festival-2009un-ardindan/

    I tried to solve the problem. But I couldn’t achieve. Then I setup version 2. I realized that this problem is solved. But there is a problem again. In version 1 If you click the thumb, the lightbox is opened and you can see the caption under the photo. Now you can’t see the caption.

    How can we solve this problem? Can you help me :)

  107. Alain Says:

    The plugin should be able to switch the sorting of the albums and pictures between upload date and album date (like the sorting option within the Picasa web interface). This will make it easier to find pictures.

    Hi,

    This plugin is superb - but I want to upload larger images than the default of 160px.

    When I change the setting, however, inserting any image either hangs the browser or simply uploads some text and no image.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

Прописал в торговый центр данный, ответили, что обращайтесь в сервис центр, хотя у меня ни документов на руках нет, ничего. Как возможно приструнить этот онлайн магазин? Есть ли какие-то компетентные органы, что писать. Куда писать, кому писать. Ошибся, да, надо было в торговом центре нормальном прикупить, но необходимой мне модели просто не было, да и подешевле в интернет-магазине. А вот и уже сижу у разбитого корыта. Подскажите, что делать.

    Hi Psytoy!

    I agree with most everyone, this is a great plugin and it makes an almost seamless integration with slimbox. I too am having problems inserting thumbnails larger than 160. I really don’t want thumbnails, I want pics either 375 or 425 pixels wide, then the 800 pixel image opens in the slimbox link.

    Also, for the setup, I changed the 300px size to 325px and the 400px size to 425 in the PHP file, but these seem to have no effect when composing my posts. I am using Google Chrome to post.

  131. Dunikowski Says:

    HI, this is a very nice plugin and I would like to use it a lot, but I have one quite a problem. Is it possible to implement link code into the caption so that it will work?

    At this moment if I write Text it changes to “>” and “<”
    so it gets useless.

    It works inside the lightbox though which would be enough, but it adds some code to it: which again makes it useless. Any hints?

  132. Dunikowski Says:

    Oh my, code changed to display mode. You can delete both those comments as it seems senseless.

  133. Tristan Says:

    Great plug-in thanks! One question: Is there a way of removing the max image size from direct links? 800px is a bit small for modern highres photos. Deleting the “?imgmax=800″ in the link works however it would be nice to have this automated. Is this tag put in by the Flash inserter or am I missing something in the php files?

    Thanks, Tristan

    But I looked into it and am unsure of what I would need to edit. In order to save a bit of time in aimless trial and error, I thought I would inquire of you directly, perhaps instigating the 2.9 upgrade mentioned in the responder’s post.

    Please advise. Thank you kindly.

    I wonder if it’s possible to get the gallery captions to have the width set on them? I have some really long captions and they are pushing the images too wide. It seems like they’re getting style=“width:160;” where it probably should get style=“width:160px;”
