Hi Sachlene – could you give me the Picasa URL for the album you’re trying to display? I’ll start by seeing if I can get it to display correctly on my test machine. If you don’t want to put your URL publicly here, you can email it to me by clicking the “contact” link in my navbar.

I saw your site – I’m from RI, and I lived near SF for many years.

Mike,

I do see the thumbnails of the pictures on the album page. Also I tried the simage tag and it works. I see the picture.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
-Sachlene

Great idea! I hope Husani takes up the option. It makes a lot of sense given the popularity of twitter tools.

Correction for the above, it was actually the plugin “WP Picasa Lightbox” that was causing conflict. I deactivated this plugin and Shashin started to work.

Hi Galder – the problem with doing this in the widget is that there isn’t enough space in most themes to load thumbnails of all an album’s photos in the sidebar. The challenge with WordPress is that there is no other simple place to show them. In an older version of Shashin I asked users to create a special page which could show the album photos, but a lot of people found the implementation confusing, and I got a lot of support questions about it.

The good news is that the latest version of Highslide has “thumbstrips” which will make it possible to do what you want. I’m planning to include this in the next version. See an example here: http://www.highslide.com/examples/gallery-thumbstrip-above.html

Hi Keighley – you need to give me some more clues here. What URL did you try in the Add Albums form on the Shashin tools page?

Is there any way to get the Latest Album widget to point to my internal gallery link rather than picasa?

I also had the following error:
ShashinAlbum::setUserAlbums – Failed to insert database record for album ID 2147483647. Possible SQL Error:

and found it was because my wordpress was running on mysql4.0. As soon as I upgraded my database to mysql5.0, it worked.

Hi there

I can’t get this plugin to work. I uploaded all my albums and it says

Shashin Error: unable to retrieve albums.

What could be going on?
