    HI

    is spent the entire day looking for a way to integrate picasa into my new blow http://www.chrillo.info and found that your plugin is the most promising. But its not working, I get this error:

    Error: your PHP configuration does not allow kPicasa Gallery to connect to Picasa Web Albums. Please ask your administrator to enable allow_url_fopen or cURL.

    I use WP 2.3. the thing is I have PHP 5 and both of the requested features are on –> phpinfo(), any idea where the problem is?

    thanks, christoph

    First, make sure you have the right username in Admin / Options / kPicasa Gallery.
    Second, make sure that you are simply calling kPicasa in your post/page with this command: KPICASA_GALLERY

    Previously you had to put KPICASA_GALLERY(username), but as of 0.1.0 the parenthesis and its content are no longer needed.

    The error handling is not as robust as it could be (will be fixed). For example, using an invalid username will return the error you’re seeing. I know it is misleading!

    Let me know how it goes!

    hi

    I double checked the KPICASA_GALLERY and I guess if it would be wrong I wouldnt get an error at all since it then would not execute. I allready suspected my username to be the problem allthough I am hundert percent shure it is spelled correctly. its “chrillo.at” – is it possible that there are some syntax restrictions like i cant have that dot in my user name? Or mybe you can give it a try on a runing gallery of your and simply change the username to this one.

    thanks for the quick reply

    HI
    I worked my way into your code and I now found the place where the problem is happening. I tried to change the code till i finally found out that even though my php info tells me curl is on I get this error:
    ERROR

    The requested URL could not be retrieved

    While trying to retrieve the URL: http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/chrillo.at?

    The following error was encountered:

    Access Denied.
    Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.

    fopen doesn’t work either, I guess I’ll have to talk to my ISP about hat.

    Great if you can work it out with your ISP.
    Although it’s weird that the server is reporting that cURL is activated, yet you can’t make a request.

    Good luck, and keep me updated if there’s something new!

    OK now its working http://www.chrillo.info/photos/. The Problem was that my ISP does not block these features via the php.ini but uses some other server-admin tool to block outgoing connections for security reasons. They now just unlocked the google domain and it works.
    So for everybody who reads this, the phpinfo() does not give you certainty about the features being enabled or not. Go Ask your Webspacehost
