Information about the PWA+PHP WordPress Plugin
Featured IntroductionThis plugin provides all the features necessary to embed your private and public picasa album within your Wordpress site. If you find a bug, please report it on the issues page. DemoChoose from one of 3 demos at http://pwaplusphp.smccandl.net/pwademo.php. Basic VersionWith the basic version of the plugin, you can:
Pro VersionThe Pro version (available on CodeCanyon) adds speed and style, with the following additional features. Version 0.9.4 was released April 4th -- see full details on the Release Notes page. Full Cache System When enabled, the cache system provides up to 24x faster page loads by saving the album's XML data and thumbnails locally on the server. This eliminates slow api calls and image downloads for a better user experience. See cache system page for speed comparison chart. jQuery Animation Beautiful page transitions (fade, slide, etc) using jQuery and hovering over an album thumbnail causes the image to slowly fade to reveal the album's description. Integrated Comment System Users can comment on your photos and those comments are saved within Picasa Web Albums via the API. Comments are displayed with the photo and recent comments can be displayed in a widget. Additional Shortcodes
RequirementsYou must have installed and activated Highslide, Fancybox, Shadowbox or Lightbox WP plugin. Pro version requires "Shadowbox JS" or "Auto-Highslide" for comments display. DownloadTo download the basic version, head to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pwaplusphp/ To purchase the Pro Version, head to CodeCanyon and you can download the plugin zip file instantly.

Hi there,
I upgraded this morning to v0.9 and a quick check on my galleries shows that the address of the album thumbnail is appearing at the top of each page? Is this caused by changes to the plugin, it was not there yesterday?
Check it out at http://xtracold.co.uk/?page_id=129
thanks in advance for any help
JW
Yep - it's my mistake. I just removed it from the source and published v0.9.1 as a bug fix. Rather than upgrade, you can just delete the line:
echo $file;
from dumpAlbumList.php. Sorry!
Scott
Actually, the line needs to be removed from showAlbumContents.php, not dumpAlbumList.php.
Scott
is there a way to paginate the albums list?
Your website to make a donation and get the pro version is down - when will it be back up? Very interested to get the pro version, as we need comments with photos integrated on our site.
@aaronwisher, no current version cannot paginate albums @adib, thanks - site is back up!
Just updated to 0.9.3 this evening and now the albums cannot open when click on the album photo but only the album name. Check it out on www.detandetbillede.dk
Guess it has to do with the update.

Yes - this issue has been reported and will be fixed in a release soon. You can resolve the problem with an easy change to the code. Please see:
http://code.google.com/p/pwaplusphp/issues/detail?id=69
When trying to generate token I get the following message:
"The page you have requested cannot be displayed. Another site was requesting access to your Google Account, but sent a malformed request. Please contact the site that you were trying to use when you received this message to inform them of the error. A detailed error message follows:
The site "http://mydomain" has not been registered." (mydomain is of course the name of my domain).
I've tried with a couple of Google accounts, but I get this message every time.
Any ideas?
@henrik.holtenas - have you registered the domain with google domains? If not, you may need to do it here:
https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageDomains
Let me know...
Scott
Thanks! That did the trick :)
I am looking forward to the new release that fix the problem I reported above Dec. 01 (open album). I am not skilled enought to challenge the 'easy' solution you referred to in your reply. Sorry. Maybe if it was explaind for dummies :-)
By the way is it possible (or could you consider to make it possible) to remove the white frame around each photo? It does not look good on black background and when the photos are not in standard format. See http://detandetbillede.dk/?page_id=50&album=PortrTter Cheers, pouL
@poulbrath, the issue you reported dec 1 is fixed. You just need to remove and re-install PWA+PHP from the plugins page and you'll get the updated code. To remove the white frame from the photo, you'll need to modify the plugin CSS. Go to your wp_content/plugins/pwaplusphp/css folder and find this section in style.css:
.pwaplusphp_img { background: #F1F1F1?; border: 1px solid #CCC; padding: 3px; }
Just remove the padding line and you the box should disappear.
Hi smccandl, I removed and reinstalled and now it all works. Thanks. I also removed the padding line so now it looks like .pwaplusphp_img { border: #CCC 1px solid; background: #f1f1f1;} but nothing at all happend. pouL
@theotherimage, what "Display Style" have you set in the PWA+PHP settings?
@smccandl, 'Never show caption' pouL
Is there any solution to browse photos by Lightbox etc? Browsing experience by click & click back is terrible!! Thanks.
I would like to put a description up on my website to instruct users how to download a full size image. I cannot see what this option does when enabled/disabled in the plugin settings page. I normally right click the image and choose "save as". How does your option work?
Thanks
Forgot to mention, I'm using Shadowbox.js
it's ok, I've worked it out now. Hovering over the photos label reveals a comment and download icon.
@dazmeist - sorry I missed your question and glad you got it working. @pouL - were you able to solve your border issue?
I am affraid that I am not that strong in HTML code. So I have not solved the border issue. Any ideas? pouL
I had an older version of this plug-in working fine on another site of mine. Just built a new site, got the 'new' version of this plug-in and the thumb nail has a different link URL (that doesn't work) than the title to the album (who's link does work).
I found a smilar post above ( http://code.google.com/p/pwaplusphp/issues/detail?id=69), but my version of this plug-in does not have the file dumpAlbumContents.php
Some people have reported this problem using non-pretty permalinks, i.e, yoursite.com?page_id=3, but I haven't found a solution that fixes the problem for everyone.
Do you have pretty permalinks enabled? If not, is that an option for you? If not, I can pass along some other suggestions.
Scott
I thought of that before you even replied. I was not using perma-links (it was using page ID numbers), and for the heck of it I went in and set the site to 'Month and name'. No change except now when you click on the thumbnail image it just rolls you to the website's home page.
Pretty-permalinks... I'm not super savy with wordpress yet, but I am running WP in a windows/IIS6 and something is ringing a bell in the back of my mind that it does not allow for 'pretty' permalinks. (?)
Hoooold up... I did change the permalink structure and though I refreshed the page on the front end, it was still using the ID number. I jumped to the page via the menu link and VOILA I am now using the custom perma-link structures, and now the thumb nail is behaving. :)
Yep, the logic that determines the thumbnail link is not reliable for the non-permalinks users.
You'd think copying the code for the album title would work but some users still report an issue, so using permalinks is the best workaround for now.
Glad it's working.
Hi:
like:Yeah, you can do beach,mountain but the picasa API will return only those photos matching both tags, not photos matching either tag. I'm not sure why it's implemented that way.
Using version 0.9.3 and the images_per_page parameter is not working. I have it set to 4 on this page: http://www.bellingham.org/share/
Hi, I have applied the temporary fix to disable jquery as my theme calls it elsewhere and was conflicting. However I cannot get descriptions to show when you hover over a thumbnail. I tried a re-install of Ver 0.94 and it worked for a short period but now nothing again. Can you tell me which file to amend to get this working again? This is not to be confused with caption. I am referring to the description I gave in picasa web album.
Thanks
Hi, I was wondering if the PRO version has functionality to enable an external link to open when an image is clicked? Thanks, Nick
Hello,
I have PWA+PHP for WordPress?, version 0.9.4 installed. I also have Highslide for Wordpress, reloaded, version 1.22.
I configured PWA+PHP's Display Style setting to "Custom Setting". I do not want the captions to show on the thumbnails, but I do want to see them in the Highslide slideshow, but the reverse is happening: I see captions below the thumbnails and do not see captions in Highslide (Highslide's Caption source setting is "Image Title").
Thanks for assistance.
Francis.
What is the max Album name? some albums cannot be fetching from google.
Hi, i just purchased the PRO version, installed and activated it in wordpress, but i get a blank page when i go to settings... What can be wrong here? Thanks for your help Sebastiaan
@sebastiaan: Do you have the same problem with the free version?
Just bought the Pro Version and the jquery pagination is great however it wont paginate until all the images are loaded... on the official demo PWA+PHP page the images load pre-paginated... have I done something wrong?
I am using the free WordPress? version - and I am having a hard time with the captions. If I select, and then save the setting, to use "Overlay Caption" or "Always show caption" neither works. I've tried looking at it in different browsers to check for a cache issue.
hi, i have a regular pwa+php intall on my wordpress website, now i have bought the PRO version, how do i update the plugin? or do i add it as a new plugin and delete the regular one?
thanks
@andrew, if there are a lot of images that aren't cached, you may see a delay before pagination until the images load. I am looking into using some kind of lazy load in the next release.
@southeasterncompanies, please open an issue and I will see if I can help.
@joris.schenk, just disable and remove the free plugin and delete or rename the pwaplusphp folder to pwaplusphp.free or something. Then unzip the pro version and enable it. Your settings should still be in place. Hope this helps.
Short Code question. I'm using Version 0.9.4. I'm using this short code on a post:
album="SignsWithHumor" images_per_page="2" image_size="800" thumbnail_size="100"?
But the post is showing all the images in the album (at this time it is 4). I just want to see 2.

Thanks! :)

Am I thinking the 'images_per_page' does something it doesn't :) Thanks! :)
