Hi Stephan – the code change I gave you was to see if it would print the raw Picasa RSS feed to your screen. That would let me know if Shashin was able to read the feed or not. Could you let me know exactly what you saw on the screen? (if it was really long, just a snippet is sufficient).

Hi Mike,

When i change lin 419 and I try again I get a big error message. I contact my hosting provider because I had also a problem with the Flickr plugin. The fixed the problem for me, they changed the rule allow_url_fopen in the php.ini.

Thanx for you help for this great plugin.

Hi Stephan – I added your album successfully on my testing site, so there’s nothing wrong with the feed. To retrieve the Picasa album feed, I’m using a reader that comes with WordPress (it’s called Snoopy). It’s possible your web server doesn’t support it. In the shashin folder, please open ToppaWPFunctions.php, and on line 419 you will see:

return $parser->parse($feed_url);

Please change that to:

var_dump($parser->parse($feed_url));
exit;

Then try to add the album again, and let me know what appears on your screen.

Hi Jeanette – only sizes 32, 48, 64, and 160 will give you square thumbnails. If you’re still having any difficulty, please show me how you’re using the tag, and give me a link so I can take a look.

Hi Mike,
Thanks! But I tried that… it doesn’t give me nice square thumbnails…

Hi Jeanette – you’re looking for the salbumphotos tag:

Note that all the Shashin tags will fetch your images at the requested size. Shashin never uses browser scaling to resize images.

Hi…
I LOVE your plugin…

I can’t figure something out.
I want to display thumbnails of all photos from one album. So far I can only have it display the actual photos and scale it down and this makes it load slow.

What’s the code for it?

Thanks!

I was about to post a query asking about changing the background of the table to match the webpage background. After much fiddling with shashin.css I just couldn’t get the background to change (http://conspiracyphotographic.com).
I am using Atahualpa for my styling, and eventually found that it was over-riding the shashin.css – it stores all it’s formatting information in the header.
So if you want to change your Shashin table colours and are using the Atahualpa theme, go and change the settings on the “Tables” tab.
Excellent plugin, by the way, thank you so much!
