Upgrade Instructions

1. Download the zip file, unzip it, and upload to your plugins directory, replacing your shashin folder.
2. Deactivate and reactivate Shashin in your plugin panel.
3. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 2.4, sync all your albums (this is needed to get new camera EXIF data from Picasa).
4. Review the Shashin Settings menu, as there are several new options.
5. If you use an image viewer other than the version of Highslide included with Shashin, you need to set it up and configure it yourself. The Shashin settings menu provides several options for image and link IDs, classes, titles, etc. in order to support a variety of image viewers.

First-Time Installation Instructions

1. Download the zip file, unzip it, and upload the "shashin" folder to your plugins directory. Then activate it from your plugin panel. After successful activation, Shashin will appear in your "Tools" menu and your "Settings" menu.
2. Go to the Shashin Settings menu and adjust the options as you like. It's important that you provide the correct URL for your Picasa server. For example, if you're in the UK, it would be http://picasaweb.google.co.uk
3. If you use an image viewer other than the version of Highslide included with Shashin, you need to set it up and configure it yourself. The Shashin settings menu provides several options for image and link IDs, classes, titles, etc. in order to support a variety of image viewers.
4. Go to the Shashin Tools menu and follow the directions to add your first album!
5. Note that Shashin will add two tables to your WordPress database, named wp_shashin_album and wp_shashin_photo. It's important to include these tables when making backups of your WordPress tables. The Shashin tags rely on key numbers from these tables that you won't get back if you lose the data in these tables.
