This widget is free to use for WordPress users. It is very easy to use. Just write a **shortcode** to your post and include a link of shared Google Photos album as a parameter. Instead of shortcode, html code with links to the photo will be inserted and it will be decorated using Public album javascript. ### Example ``` [embed-google-photos-album link="https://photos.app.goo.gl/CSV7NDstShTUwUZq5"] [embed-google-photos-album link="https://photos.app.goo.gl/CSV7NDstShTUwUZq5" mode="carousel"] [embed-google-photos-album link="https://photos.app.goo.gl/CSV7NDstShTUwUZq5" mediaitems-cover="true"] [embed-google-photos-album link="https://photos.app.goo.gl/CSV7NDstShTUwUZq5" background-color="#007acc"] ``` * **link** – [string] public link of Google Photos album * **mode** – [carousel | gallery-player] setup decorator mode, default id `gallery- player` * **width** – [int | ‘auto’] set widget width in pixel or “auto” to stretch to 100% * **height** – [int | ‘auto’] set widget height in pixels or “auto” to stretch to 100% * **image-width** – [int] image max-width in pixels, default is 1920 * **image-height** – [int] image max-height in pixels, default is 1080 * **autoplay** – [true | false] start slideshow in normal view (currently not allowed by decorator) * **delay** – [true | false] slideshow delay in seconds, default is 5 seconds. * **repeat** – [true | false] Enable or disable repeat slideshow, delfault is ` true` * **mediaitems-aspectration** – [true | false], Keep asspect ration of images delfault is `true` * **mediaitems-enlarge** – [true | false], Turn on/off image enlarge, delfault is `true` * **mediaitems-stretch** – [true | false], Tunr on/off image stretch, delfault is `true` * **mediaitems-cover** – [true | false], Cover full canvas.

For a more detailed description of the component, go to [WordPress Google Photos album plugin](https://www.publicalbum.org/blog/wordpress-google-photos-album-plugin). In some cases, it may be better to use the following code directly in the template. ``` getcode( 'https://photos.app.goo.gl/CSV7NDstShTUwUZq5', 0, 480, 1920, 1080 ); ?> ``` ### How do I update my album?

Javascript widget can be used without photos from Google photos. Detailed information on how to use javascript is available in one of older posts about [carusel slideshow](https://www.publicalbum.org/blog/carousel-slideshow-gallery-widget-july-update) on my blog. ### About Public album photo sharing website **Public album** is now a [photo sharing website](https://www.publicalbum.org/blog/photo-sharing-website) and service for sharing short photosets available in single user profile. The service can also be used as an alternative to [public Google Photos](https://www.publicalbum.org/blog/public-google-photos). It is very suitable for the blogs focused mainly on photos. For example, a **photoblog** or a [**online bookmark manager**](https://www.reabr.com). ### Important links * **Public album sharing website** [https://www.publicalbum.org](https://www.publicalbum.org) * **Blog** [https://www.publicalbum.org/blog](https://www.publicalbum.org/blog) * **Facebook** [https://www.facebook.com/publicalbumapp](https://www.facebook.com/publicalbumapp) * **Reabr.com** [online bookmark manager](https://www.reabr.com) ## Screenshots [⌊Result of this Wordpress plugin - gallery player with Mr. Monstro album⌉⌊Result of this Wordpress plugin - gallery player with Mr. Monstro album⌉[ Result of this Wordpress plugin – gallery player with Mr. Monstro album [⌊Preview of source Google Photos shared album⌉⌊Preview of source Google Photos shared album⌉[ Preview of source Google Photos shared album [⌊Similar photoset with Mr. Monstro in Public album photo sharing website.⌉⌊Similar photoset with Mr. Monstro in Public album photo sharing website.⌉[ Similar photoset with Mr. Monstro in Public album photo sharing website.
