There is a quick update on picasa plugin.
If you want multiple users, in the picasa username field, separate users by semicolons ( ; ). You can use the album names inside brackets infront of the username. Separate album names by commas ( , ).
Example : sandaruwang(Adams Peak, IOI 2006);yasaruwan(sivali)
Or else you can have...

Can you please add Lightbox support on your next release? Or something that will open the images in a new window? No one will want the visitor the leave the site by clicking on a image.

Okey,
I added [code][/code] So it’s okey for me. It’s opening in a new window now. It was simple.

Hi Sandaruwan,
Hope all is going well. Excellent plugin. I do have one question. Is it possible to view photos from multiple albums that are considered private albums along with those that are public albums?
#8 by Sandaruwan Gunathilake on September 4th, 2008

Hi Raj,
This plugin makes use of the public RSS feeds of the albums. As far as I know, the private albums doesn’t have a public RSS feed. So, it won’t be possible with this plugin.

Marc,
You’ll have to add a “<br/>” in line 90. It’s using “<p>” tags, but I guess your theme doesn’t put a space between two of those.

Hi, Sandaruwan, thanks for sharing your plugin with others. It’s the first plugin that worked among the sidebar random image display plugins that I tried. Can you add some code so that we’ll have the option to display captions?
Thank you very much, and wish you more power.

hi,
is it right that the sidebarwidget doesent update as fast as i update the options?
when i for example add a new album or i take a whole different one it still shows the old album or not both…

hi, this plugin works great, unfortunately each time I install it grow up my database (with the field widget_picasa_photos in the “wp_options” table) from <1mo to 6mo, which exceed my host’s limit
Am I the only one who have this problem?
Do anyone could see why it’s hapening?
thanks!

Hi, it’s possible to use plugin in a sidebar without widget support, there is a code ?
tnx

Would like to know the same like Redemption. Because I don’t use widgets, but want to use this plugin.

Sandaruwan,
Thank you for creating your ‘widget’, which works exactly as expected.
One issue I had because of the small number of images in my album the random function would select the same image multiple times.
I noticed someone else had the same issue.
I have worked round this by replacing line 90 with
$pos = strpos($str, $selected[title]);
if ($pos === false) {
//New picture
$str.=”“;
} else {
//Already got this one
$i = $i-1;
}
(I hope that comes out when posted
)
No doubt someone else can come up with a more elegant solution than my amateur coding.
Best regards
Steve

Hmm
That didn’t work too well
the line that came out as
$str.=”“;
Should have been the old line 90
Hope that make sense.

My plugin is working, however it is duplicating pictures on my blog’s sidebar. I have made sure the pics were not duplicated in the Picasa web album. Know how to correct this?
Thanks!
#23 by Sandaruwan Gunathilake on November 8th, 2008

Robin,
There is a high probability of displaying duplicate photos if you have small number of photos in the albums and a large number of slots in the sidebar.
I’ll fix the duplicates in next version.

Hi Sandaruwan,
I’ll be anxiously awaiting that new version! Thanks so much.

Hi,
activating this plugin disabled another graphic one called “snazzy archives”… I have a page with nothing but snazzy archive theme on it and it’s now black. Know how to tell wordpress not to use the plugin on a specific page? thanks – love it!

Great plugin, but
I can’t make the plugin change the Picasa user. I have changed the username, but the old pictures are stilled showed. I deleted the pictures, but they are stilled showed. Is there temp files that should be deleted?

I use your widget all the time (on several websites) and it works great! On this particular website it was working fine when, without warning or prior provocation it started showing blank boxes where the pictures should have been being displayed. I can tell it is making some type of connection as it is retrieving the pic file name. Any suggestions?

Hi, I installed the plugin as instructed (username, public album name, photo size, update at 0) and it still doesn’t show up on my wordpress page. any thoughts? (i am not a coder, so is there something i need to add somewhere else that I am not getting?)

Hi,
I just tried your plugin! The installation went well. But I can’t manage to set it up to display only one album.
I tried barboul(Life in China) but it is still displaying random pictures from other albums…
Thanks for your help!

hey, having an issue. I put in my username, and i loaded in all of my images. Now i only want to use 1 album but even though i update the settings to username(album name), i still get all of the photos. even if i change the username there is no change in photos displayed. it seems that worpress has cached the images somewhere? I have refreshed browser cache…. whats happening?
