Just put them in a 4-column wide table, like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td>[mpiphoto=1,left,scale,200]</td>
<td>[mpiphoto=2,left,scale,200]</td>
<td>[mpiphoto=3,left,scale,200]</td>
<td>[mpiphoto=4,left,scale,200]</td>
</tr>
</table>

What is the easiest way to put the thumbs in rows of 4 across instead of one long column?

Thanks for all your hard work.

} else {
?>

Could not fetch feed ”.

THANKS A LOT! I really enjoy your work to get this plugin fixed again. I just did some changes too to get the album overview also working again.
Additionally i added the HighSlide Javascript so it has a new look and feel…

I hope its ok that i took your work as a basis and do some advertising here Maybe someone finds it useful.

Pull this URL for the feed:
http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/USERNAME/album/ALBUMNAME?kind=photo&alt=rss

Then parse that using a normal XML DOM parser (not Magpie!).

That will get you all the data you need in a much simpler manner than trying to cope with the ATOM crap. It’s what my new Picasa Web Widget does (as soon as I finish it, anyway).

Sorry, I didn’t look at this closely enough before I replied before. Putting a print statement on the previous line didn’t work for you because that line is in a html block, not php, so it just displayed the literal statement. Also, my albums actually do have a pubdate value. It’s not coming from the RSS feed, so it’s just defaulting to the current date (at the time the album was added to mPicasaIntegration).

…So my guess is that you’re on a different version of PHP than I am. Are you on PHP 5? I’m on PHP 4, and I’m thinking 5 might be more strict than 4 about the time value being a numeric value rather than a string.

Undo the change I suggested before, and try replacing line 379 with this:
<td align=”center”><?php echo date(get_option(’date_format’), intval($album->pubdate)); ?> at <?php echo date(get_option(’time_format’), intval($album->pubdate)); ?</td>

and let me know what that does. You may still get an error on some other line where the same thing is happening, but I’d like to see if it fixes it on this line.

I sent an email your way as I didn’t know the best way to describe what is happening now..

Thank you,

That’s interesting. When I worked on fixing the RSS feed, I found that the new Picasa RSS feed didn’t have a pubdate for the albums anymore, so I’d expected the pubdate to be null. Perhaps Picasa has added pubdate back to the feed.

The plugin does a strtotime on the date from the feed and then saves it in a varchar field. So the error actually makes sense if in fact pubdate is in the feed. In functions.admin.php, on the line before the error, could you add:

print $album->pubdate;
exit;

And then try again? This should print the value to your browser - let me know what it shows.

On the management page for mPicasaIntegration, could you click the links for your albums and let me know if the picture IDs for those thumbnails appear in any of the photo lists? I’m curious to see if those pictures have registered in your database or not.

I have a few pictures without file extensions in my cache, but they are for videos, and they actually seem to work fine that way (I haven’t looked into how that works yet - I imagine it has to do with whatever mechanism Google uses to stream videos). But it sounds like yours are for regular pictures.

When I attempt to add galleries to the plugin I receive this error in the published column:

Warning: date() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/ylazf80/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/mPicasaIntegration/functions/functions.admin.php on line 379
at
Warning: date() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/ylazf80/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/mPicasaIntegration/functions/functions.admin.php on line 379

I’m running WP 2.1.2.

Any suggestions?
