New version 1.2 of Picasa Express plugin for WordPress

nibbler.jpg Recently update version

Private albums is now available.

AuthSub interface is used – pretty simple and works method :) I am personally more like oAuth, but do not understand how use application keys, because they linked to site by creation.

Another new feature is reload button in dialog.

I found that Picasa has very big load balancing group – when you add new image and then try to reload album it will appear and disappear about half of hour. Probably before all data is synchronized between all responsible servers. But in most cases image appears by first reload.

Enjoy !

New version 1.1 | Picasa Express x2


|

Just release new version 1.1

Added:

  • Remove STATIC – should work with old PHP version. Optimize hooks and setting. Keep settings after deactivation.
  • Change Picasa request method. Remove WP cache – changes displayed immediately.
  • Add sorting ( date, title and file name , asc and desc ) for images in the dialog in settings. Without sorting should be displayed as in PicasaWeb.
  • Add ordering for images in gallery ( by clicking )
  • Add Highslide support

First the standard WP feed fetcher has strange behavior and cache – I receive old images and in strange ordering. Replacing to wp_remote_get, which is used internal http class, solve most of the issues. Now new images displayed instantly ( just need to reload dialog frame ) and removed will not show next time. Default order keeps PicasaWeb order, including manual mesh.

By request from Eric T I am adding sorting for the images in the album – date, title and filename. Use it !

And the Highslide … it’s amazing how perfect it show the image. Enjoy !
