Overview

Shashin has many features for displaying your Picasa photos and videos in your Wordpress posts and pages:

• Show a gallery of your Picasa albums, and all the photos and videos in each album.
• Show your photos and vidoes with your favorite image viewer. Highslide is included with Shashin, but you ay also use a different viewer of your choice.
• Pick individual photos or videos to display, in any size supported by Picasa, including captions and EXIF data.
• Pick photos and videos from any combination of albums to display in groups of thumbnails.
• Show thumbnails of your newest photos and videos, from one or more albums.
• Display album thumbnails for albums you choose, or all your albums, sorted however you like. Includes links to Google Maps.
• Display any number of random photos and videos, from one or more albums. You can also choose to exclude certain photos or albums from random display.
• Use widgets for all of the above!
• Customize the Shashin and Highslide stylesheets to suit the theme of your site.
• Internationalization: Shashin supports translations into other languages (please contribute a translation if you're bilingual!)
• Schedule daily automatic synchronization of Shashin with your Picasa albums.

New in Shashin 2.5

• jQuery based WYSIWYG browser for adding Shashin photos to your posts. You can now browse albums from within the editor, and click on photos to add them to your post (it will write simage and sthumbs tags for you). To use it, click the Picasa icon in the editor's media button bar. This feature was contributed by Sune Pedersen
• Option to automatically sync albums several times per day, now that Picasa video URLs expire every 11 hours
• Bug fix: album title links in the album thumbnails sidebar widget now point to the correct URL
• Bug fix: "next" and "previous" links for album photos display now work in Google Chrome and Safari (actually a workaround for a webkit bug)

Shashin 3.0 is under development!

Shashin 3.0 will include support for Flickr and Twitpic. It will also come with two built in viewers to choose from: jQuery Lightbox 2 and Highslide. The development work will take a while so please be patient.
