Intro and Description
There is different method to show Google Picasa Web Album on own website, but if I don’t mistake, this is the first plugin that integrate Picasa Web into Textpattern.
The main idea [of mine] was to semplify adding a single album of PWA at an TXP article. Directly I have search a script for read a feed of PWA and show all albums or photos into a single article or a complete gallery
The first release was very simple, with no personalization of HTML output. After have read and write mck_login I understand that to may hack the last release and made it better. This is the result!
Requirements
Recommended:
- PHP 5.1.2+
- Textpattern 4.4.1+
- Curl enabled
Installation and usage
The general behavior stands: paste plugin code to the plugin installer textarea and run the automatic setup. Then just activate the plugin and you are ready to use new tags that plugin includes like others.
For usage, basically just put <txp:mck_picasa > ... </txp:mck_picasa> where you wont to show the Picasa Albums and structure the HTML output.
P. If you wont obtain a list of all PWA in Write section, you must set a custom field as picasa_album and set a mck_picasa_username as your Picasa Username in “advanced preferece“index.php?event=prefs&step=advanced_prefs
You may also want to grab a localization file, a textpack.
- Grab a localization textpacks from Kreatore website. There are few languages available.
- Copy and paste the textpacks contents to your site’s Language panel (TXP/Admin/Preferences > Language). At the bottom of the page you should see a Install Textpack field.
Language preinstalled are English and Italian
