PicasaView free WordPress plugin
Description
With picasaView you can easily view your picasaweb-albums in your blog. To achieve this, all you need to do is to insert a shorttag like [picasaView album=’ALBUMNAME’] in your content where you want your album to appear. To view all your public albums just use [picasaView]. The plugin supports localization, paging and can be easily skinned by changing the external templates and the stylesheets which reside within the plugin directory in the subfolders ‘templates’ and ‘css’. That means you could use Lightbox or any other image viewer by simply editing the html-templates to suit your needs, for example with Rupert Morris’ excellent Lightbox2 Plugin or any other image viewer. picasaView is already configured to work with LightBox (if installed), so there is no need for further adjustments. Through the backend settings you can additionally adjust the size of the used thumbnails and full size images and how much images are shown on a page at once. More info can be found at the picasaView Homepage. To see what those linked galleries look like, visit the picasaView demo page. Customization To customize, create a subdirectory named ‘picasaview’ in your WordPress theme-directory (e.g. ‘/wp-content/themes/default/picasaview)’ and copy the contents of the ‘template’ subdirectory in the picasaview plugin-dir into it. ** Don’t edit the templates in the plugin directory as they will be overwritten if you auto-update to a new version ** The template files mustn’t be renamed and have the following functions. With the specific placeholders explained below you can further customize the output. Just be sure to keep the class-attributes (they are needed for the JavaScript frontend functionality) album.html: Used to display the album summary. This is the template that’s shown when you insert the picasaView-tag into your content. Supported placeholders: %ALBUMLINK%, %ALBUMTITLE%, %THUMBNAILPATH%, %ALBUMSUMMARY%, %TOTAL_RESULTS%, %TOTAL_RESULTS_LABEL%, %CREATIONDATE%, %CREATIONDATE% albumDetails.html: This is
